personally I kinda like it. It looks much better in person. Don't think I'd buy it though because so many people have such strong feelings against it and I think that that would ultimately make it hard to sell....

The salesman at the dealership told they were hard to sell and they hated to see one come in that color because it would be around for a long time.

I like it but only after seeing the way sharkwerks did theirs up. However, I think if I owned it I would get bored quickly

Racing Green is a great color in my opinion, though for me, it's odd seeing it on a German car (vs. a British car where it looks so natural).

Does Racing Green really get dirty quickly, like black? I had assumed it wouldn't...

I am sorry about my opinion but if you are approaching 50 and you are in your mid-life crisis this is the color that you would go for

I have seen it on the road, and it is not a color that goes well with Porsche. Looks like an "Old Man's car"...

I don't disagree with you about it being an 'old man' color, but I like it for two reasons:
* it's sorta "sleeper" due to it being an old-man color
* Racing Green is a color with 'heritage'

Then again, two years ago (at age 25) I bought a Jaguar XJ8 as my DD so maybe I was born with elderly taste

If you like the color, you should be able to get an excellent deal on this "launch car". These were preconfigured by the factory and have not sold as well - probably due to the color. Dealers should be very eager to move these.

If you need to ask us if you should buy it then you should find a White or Silver car and buy it.

Pardon my post, but nice attitude. This comment and a 50s comment... Surely, your mindset must view the Porsche as a male enhancement -- judging by your spoken insecurities. You must have been quite popular on corvette forums before buying German.

Funny, I find myself quite happy in my green 911... and I shoot back

Love the ground effects, rims and some of the subtle touches like the painted headlight trim, bars across the air intakes and side mirror centers...nice work.

Colors are totally personal, obviously. The only objective statement is that green is simply not as desirable and would sell for less. I like speed yellow too, but it would probably be a challenge to sell. The offset is, cheaper to buy.
