Always liked Atlas Grey and almost went for it the last time and then decided to go PTS.

I still don't understand why there aren't more PTS cars. It's only $2,500 more than the special colors that Porsche offers. Oh well, at least Porsche still offers the possiblity to fulfill your special color desires!

Best Porsche color hands down and I have it on my Cayman S. There is a nice contrast with the stone grey interior.

Passed on a 2008 Altas grey with black turbo cab and still regret not buying. Love the color.

My guess is the time involved and lack of certainty. I thought about it and then the months of additional wait time was a bit off putting (and the uncertainty that they really can/will paint a requested color).

I guess the second point is not an issue if you get a known color that folks have PTS'd previously.

Yeah. the wait seemed to never end and a color I wanted was denied 3 months in to the wait so a little aggravation in there too! On the other hand I'm glad I did it . Once you have it you forget the wait!

Atlas gray rocks! Looks great on 911's. I'm a big fan of GT Silver as well. And I do like black on Porsches as well.

I have atlas grey.. I like it! I agree that it looks more bluish grey in most lights... sometimes black... It is easier to maintain than black. I have it with stone grey interior... no complaints at all!!!

I have Atlas Grey Carrera S Cabrio (black top), black interior. Beautiful color, masculine, sophisticated. Looks good in bright daylight and at night. Doesn't show dirty like black. Real happy with this color combo!!!

Not our everyday simple car color, kind of like a glass of cabenet sauvignon that takes us time to explore its complexity.

Gorgeous. Probably my favorite color for a 997. Almost impossible to find one on the used market, especially if you throw in some must have options and must have model car.

yeah...will be tough finding a 997.2 Turbo with AG ext, blk int, ceramic brakes.

It's odd this car came with factory installed PCCB, GT2 carbon seats, and GT3 nose. Seats and nose are OEM part add-on not factory installed.
