I think speed yellow sportcars looks absolutely stunning during the evening/night. In daytime, well, if you like to be noticed then go for it. Once heard complaints from a SY car owner that everybody (eeverybodyy) looks at you.

So.... if you prefer to be slightly low profile, then speed yellow is probably not for you.

Speed Yellow is a safe color however; greatly reduce the risks of accidents loll. Bright (eyebleeding) Guards Red works quite well also. Advantages!!!

ok so next dilema...for 2K more I can get this 2014 NON S cayman but loaded. 275 HP vs the 320 of the 2011. Much less understated with the silver but it is a 6sp manual and checks all the boxes. I have always been told and lived by this with all the cars i bought to buy the newest you can afford. I like the look of the new ones and this silver with these wheels...the black interior and the 6 speed could make this a fun car. switch to a fabspeed exhaust to give it a little noise.

Thoughts?
