With the number of those that have ended up in scrap yards, it looks scary in any color.  (Not a knock on Porsche)

I like it - most of the GT's I've seen are silver, so this is pretty cool.   Mount some black aluminum/cf wheels on it, tint the windows DARK and call it a day.   [evil]

FTR - Carrera GTs sound phenomenal on a racetrack.  Their exhaust note is just perfect.  [bacon]

Porsche spends millions just to achieve that "perfect" sound.  The GT engine has very little rotating mass compared with a normal car.  The way they rev gives me a hard on.  [thumbsup]

C'mon you wouldn't kick those wheels out of bed for eating crackers if they were attached to that car.

No, I wouldn't.

But if they were dark like the rest; they could do more than eat crackers in bed and I still wouldn't kick them out.   [evil]

The whole dark thing is way overdone.

It's much harder to come up with the right color.

Agreed.  I think most of the matte black's are wrap jobs, so when it's not cool next year you can peel it off.

I watched the Street Customs on HDT where they built the other 2-door S-class.  Unbelievable fabrication.  Looks factory.

Or some-girl-you-just-met-at-high-school-church-youth-group's daddy's 911 -- that was my first. (though not a Turbo; guess I wasn't praying quite hard enough)

what is it with flat black?  it seems to be the color of the moment.  IMHO flat black does not belong on a European car.  it just looks wrong.  i see many flat black A4's driving around LA and it just looks bad. 

now, on a truck, SUV, or hot rod muscle car, different story.  but it's not compatible with luxury brands.  again, IMHO.
