    If going with PTS, I would get a metallic color. For the past 10 years I was more into flat colors, but now metallic looks cool again on the GT cars 

    With mahogany wood interior? smiley

    Porsche 992 GT3 in Oak Green Metallic...  E0F26BDD-E91B-4EF4-964B-7C4204B9E420.gif

    Now that color is just begging for the Touring treatment.

    Is that the same Oak Green Metallic?  Looks more like a Uni color like Irish or BRG (I love it)...

    Yeah, could be (or even Underberg, I guess), but thought it looked a little bit lighter...

    Would make for a great spec. My dealer has a Macan GTS coming in this colour as an Exclusive Manufaktur show case. I would nerve have considered a Macan but I might now Smiley.

    Re: 992 GT3

    Guys, i have a question for you all. I am doing the Porsche two day Master class in a couple of weeks. My GT4 is at 840 miles so i think it is not ready for tracking  and i will rather rent a Porsche GB car. My last one day Precision course was with a GT4 which included four 20 min sessions on half of the Silverstone circuit. Car was incredible and balance was fantastic. I am down for a GT3 touring next year. Do i take a GT4 again, or should I try a GT3. Thoughts? Thanks

    Do you have much experience with GT3s? If not and if you plan on getting a GT3 next year, I would try a GT3.

    Unless you have restrictions by Porsche GB on the GT4, why shouldn‘t you take your GT4 to the track in a couple of weeks ? … at 840 miles … ! Whether you try a GT3, well, you should answer this question yourself… Smiley

    Limited experience with a GT3, really only driving my brothers 991.2 GT3 around suburban up-state NY - not necessarily ideal territory for trying the limits!!!

    Re: 992 GT3

    Different cars different driving dynamics. You know what the GT4 can do. Expand your experience and rent the GT3. Who knows, you may find you prefer the GT4. If so, you can save yourself some money and not get the GT3T.kiss

    Thanks mate, and actually not a bad point. I guess the alternative could be get the GT3 AND keep the GT4 for tracking! Missus will love that one.
    Bought a 993 with my brother in 2010 to trade and make some money by importing it into Switzerland. It did go up in value but I still have it!

    Re: 992 GT3

    I think it's wonderful, perfect color for this car. I would have gone for it myself, but I wanted something less flashy for where I live, so I'm ordering either an Agate Gray car or a GT silver.  I know boring, but that blue really pops! I think i've posted some pictures in this thread from the showroom.  My car will come in December hopefully.

    Good idea, but I recommend you flip it 180 degrees.  GT4 is a great road car and GT3 is a better track car (I bet even the Touring has more downforce than GT4, but you have time to shift to Winged if you want and wing only needed if you have a very fast track).
