If it were me, I would definitely go for Black, Basalt Black or Atlas Grey.
The styling of the 997TT is certainly not clean and simple IMO. It's very ornate (+ve view) or too fussy (-ve view). I think the best way to mask some of this 'so-called over-styling' is to pick a very, very dark colour so that it hides the intakes, holes, scoops, panel gaps etc.
More generally, from a 'car image' perspective, I think a very dark 997TT looks really 'menacing'. IMO some of this effect is simply lost when a lighter colour is chosen.
For my 997S, there was only one colour in the end: GT Silver.
If I were to chose a 997TT (theoretically), it would probably be Basalt Black
Just my 2 cents....
(BTW, I said "theoretically", because I wouldn't trade up from a 997S to a 997TT. If/when I trade up, it would be to a Lamborghini Gallardo/Murcielago or whichever Ferrari is on sale at that time).

Here's a comp, can't find any darker ones to compare. Interesting to see side by side in silver too.

BTW and off-topic: What's your opinion re. the much rumoured body change? Will it happen for the turbo this summer? I can't decide whether to order now or wait until July 2007 for 2008 car.

I just thought of this this AM. If you plan to keep the car for three years it doesn't matter if the facelift comes out in one year or in two years, the depreciation will still hit you and you'll love your car anyway. Just order the car and don't bother to wait because waiting is more painful than the facelift depreciation if you plan to keep the car.

Hello MMD,
Judging from your sheer number of posts , I figure you must have some idea re. whether this body change will happen this summer.

The side by side pics confirm just how busy and (for me) disappointing the design of the Turbo is. The basic design is so much cleaner and more beautiful in comparison. I am planning on guards red Turbo and boy do the vents, slats, holes, scoops stand out with this color.

What! If this is how I felt about a car I wouldn't spend $40k, let alone $140k. Why would you buy a car you don't like?
