Does what we think really matter, It's your car.

Flip a coin - There is your choice

Thanks alot for the replies guys! I have decided to go with the Speed yellow. I have 3 silver cars in the house so a change will be good. I might not be able to get the pccb, do you guys think it looks weird a yellow car with red calipers?
Could you guys post some pics of Speed yellow Carrera S???

Thanks in advance!

Blah, yellow is for wussy men, can't believe Porsche even paints their cars that color
Good choice on the yellow, as said, it will get you a lot of attention, but you get used to it...

I have had two Speed Yellow Porsches. I will only buy a Speed Yellow (OK, maybe Porsche Royal Blue (Arrow Blue) but I'm Biased). Everyone and their mom gets a silver Porsche. I drive hard and never was pulled over in my Speed Yellow cars. I really think cops think you get pulled over all the time so they do not even bother.
Get Speed Yellow. Silver is for people too scared to be different

Although why even ask the question? Get what you want.

RESELL IS NOT DIFFERENT ON A SPEED YELLOW CAR.....Are you that ignorant? I sold my 1999 for $43k 6 months ago (Sold it in 2 weeks). There are people looking for yellow cars. The only people that would affect resale on a Speed Yellow car are the one's who do not want it. They can buy silver (a dime a dozen)

Even though my silver X50 was miles faster than my SY C4 - I got more in trouble with my C4!!
Bright colors always get you in trouble. i remember speaking to SFHP who mentioned this to me back in the day. some places around the world insure bright colors for a higher amount (red, yellow...)

And I'm choosing the Yellow because the car wont be an everyday car.

BTW, I just came back from the dealer today, and I'm having problems getting an early allocation Any advice?
