White appears neater in pictures, but if you intend to have all eyes turned on you when you cruise by (partly because of the rump), then blue's the one. Pics please when you get both rides...

I was told only 2 coming to Houston. May not be accurate but it will be very few.

I have Turbo S Cab also coming in Jan being built Dec 10th but I don't have coin for Speedster but congrats on the cars Pics when u can.

What color will your Turbo S Cab be. Nice bookends

The Turbo S Cab is carrera white with black adaptive sport seats. I also went crazy and did white stitching wherever Porsche would do it.

My Dad had a white 1989 930 slantnose turbo cab that had black interior with white piping so kind of a tribute car to him :-)

That sounds sweet. I went with PTS Azzurro California Blue Black Blue Int Lots of Carbon fiber. I spent was too much but that car will be my speedster

I would love a blue speedster if I hadn't already ordered a turbo I would have one but it would be driven a lot

Congrats on your Speedster! I have received the one Speedster allocation for my dealer. I'm probably going to go with white though. When is your expected delivery date?

I do not get the speedster, or more accurately it's price... I doubt that it will be worth any more than its purchase price, and probably tank like the GT2's did when they came out in 08. Its an interesting car, for say $120. For double that... Not so much. Have there been any modern Porsche's that have actually appreciated or held their value? You can get a CGT for $300k these days....

I hear what your saying, but 356 worldwide with approx half coming to the USA is why I'm in on this deal.

Only 90 of he 356 will be coming to the US. From a depreciation standpoint, you only need to look as far as the '89 Speedster. There were approximately 800 sent to the US and they sell for more or less the same price today that they did 20 years ago when new.
