As the owner of a Speed Yellow 986, I think if I got a 987, I'd get it in Speed Yellow.
On the other hand, if I could afford a Turbo 997, I would have to go with Speed Yellow.

Hi,

I have to agree with you on point. These cars are to some degree outrageous, especially when compared to meeting basic transportation needs. As such, I think the color should be equally striking, or outrageous, if you will.

IMHO, this is especially true of a Roadster. GT cars and Sports Sedans look better with more sedate, deeper tones, as do high-end Luxo-cruisers.

My Boxster is Guards Red, my 240-Z is the equivalent of Speed Yellow, and my Esprit is Black on Tan with two-tone silver/gold wheels. While I never thought about it before, but looks as if I'm following my own advice...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I can't agree more on this.
I also went through the dramatic change on colors(Silver/Red - Yellow/Black), and think both are "striking" enough for me. And Yes now I do know why yellowboxster1 and ronzi love their speed yellow.

My car is black on black. If I had to do it again and was able to pick my colors...hmmmm very close call, 2 choices. I would keep black on black or white exterior with black interior and black top.

That's just a shade darker than arctic, right?
Looks good.

No Wanna986, Polar Silver appears slightly lighter with a blue in the silver, Arctic Silver appears darker with a grey in the silver.
