If you have a higher-resolution copy of the first image to use for a wallpaper (1920x1200), you'd be my hero.

Silver is nice - but white is the porsche racing color and nothing more stunning than a white 997TT. I have been waiting since last fall and my white 997TT gets built on 2/29 (my 3rd WHITE Pcar). I did the silver thing once and with every passing white one, was unhappy and ended up getting rid of it in three months. For me, worth the wait to get exactly what you want if you are going to spend this much money!

Take the Arctic Silver! It's classic, and you'll definitely pay more for the ordered white car.

The picture was taken on early December 2007, when we have our first snow falls for the season in Bellevue !

I really want white but damn the silver looks good and the price is right. Ohhhhhh, I am so confused. Show me some silver cars for motivation or convince me white is worth the wait. The options arent that important since it has the only 2 that really matter to me, sport chrono and lsd. I plan to mod the car so I will do my own carbon and goodies, as well as some major tuning. Damn OCD.........

What kind of deal? I am interested to know.

As far as colors, here is white:

followed by slate...

and under winter rays...


but the deal is on silver right? take it you can't go wrong with silver...

here is red in case you come up with a deal on red:




don't forget to post the deal please... TIA

Brett, didn't you tell me that the white car has a March build date? Order it the way you want it, but go with black interior, especially with any carbon. As you know, my GT2 was silver. Easy to keep clean, and doesn't show dirt. That said, it is more sedate unless you do wheels. Do a search. Ryan's car with dark grey wheels, not black, on his silver car, were really cool. As to Porsche, yes their brochures oftentimes use silver, but their factory race cars have been white.

Well yes, but I screwed up because I let an opportunity with Zemdog pass because I was getting better numbers from another dealer and then when that dealer failed to produce then Zem had already sold the slot. At this point I am back to looking at Ferraris again. A few nice stradales are on the market and one that looks very much like Barnhill's old car, although the price is just as strong... Keep you eyes open for a modded GT2 and I may just grab that.
