    I really love to see Silver and GT Silver next to each other so that one could really tell the difference.

    I haven't seen any Arctic Silver GT3s. Porsche didn't make any for the press launch. Only chance of spotting one is if someone has ordered one. Arctic Silver will be a paler color, of course. You can get an idea in the Car Configurator.

    Best way to describe GT Silver , is that its so much more Aluminium than the Arctic . Its very sporty and would look great with some carbon as well , why not chuck in some GT Silver seat belts too.. ..

    Cobalt is gorgeous, but for me it's GT Silver .

    It's abit darker than Arctic but when in sunshine it really comes to life. Very sporty aswell. My next cars gonna be a GT GT3 , or maybe a Polar Silver Turbo .

    Re: What is the best Colour 997 GT3 to buy??

    It is very hard to tell from photos but most dealers should now have a decent size sample of Meteor Grey; at least my local dealer in the SFO Bay area does. You can compare them side by side and yes, Slate is much darker than Meteor... most of the pictures I have seen online, purporting to be Meteor, are in fact Slate. You will be in for a shock if you order Meteor and expect it to look much darker than Seal Grey. It just doesn't have the blue that Seal has but it really isn't any darker.

    I absolutely love the way it looks all black, but sadly, i'm afraid the mean look you get here is because it's a widebody (RS-mule), on a "normal" GT3 i'm afraid black will camouflage the hips to much...

    Meteor grey does the trick for me, it looks very agressive, the wheels can be painted in exterior color!

    I think meteor looks nice colour for a 911 but I'm not sure if you choose the roll cage and non leather seats.
    White would be my option

    The clubsport package comes with red (only) six-point harness (no yellow or other colors). Thethree-point belts can be yellow to match PCCB brakes.

    With PCCB would you choose:
    1) red six-point harness and yellow three-point belts.
    2)red six-pointharness and redthree-point belts.
    3) redsix-pointharness and blackthree-point belts.
    4) or ??

    I am not a fan of colored seat belts, unless it is a Ferrari.
    So I would take point 3
