I say Meteor, GT Silver is to much of an upcharge for something so close to the other silvers. With Porsche you need to be careful. My first 996 in 99 was speed yellow which was a $3010.00 option. In 2000 they made it a standard color. On my 2001 TT I paid $3645.00 for paint to sample Ferrari fly yellow. I did not recoup any of it and in resale, it means crap. If you go with silver stick with Artic!

I still have this soft spot for a GT2! I need to stop confusing myself. If the right Silver GT2 came along, I think the 997 may have to get kicked.

The 2500 mile Silver GT2 on Ebay has caught my eye, but that is a lot of coin for a GT2!
Ill be "that guy" and vote for GT Silver.
While i like the meteor gray, something about a crisp, bright, Silver 997TT with tinted windows and some NICE wheels just sounds so nice.
IMHO, lighter colors 'pop' better than darker ones...
Good Luck with ur choice...and NICE Snake too!

Thanks for the references Vincent. I'll contact them and see what they have to say.
The only aspect that is pushing me towards the 997TT is the backseats. It'll make my 4 and 5 year old kids happy.
