    I'd vote for the color listed on the color plate...

    Okay, my vote's in. However, I must protest the grouping of red and orange as one choice. Not a red 911 fan... but love orange 911s.

    Isn't this a personal choice? or, one of each.

    I know its a personal choice, but I was just interested in seeing this from a de$irability perspective. i.e. , which colors tend to fetch the highest prices, everything else being equal of course?

    So again (if I didn't make this clear before), this isn't necessarily about what YOUR favorite 911 color is, its about which colors you think tend to be the most desirable...

    Interesting that intial results here differ from those on Pelican - there really is a group difference in esthetics I guess...

    And nobody likes red much...

    I never liked red until I got a red car. Now I love it! Remember, red was the colour of the car that won Le Mans in 1970, Porsche's first overall victory at the Sarthe.
    And alot of 911's have raced and won in red. Monte Carlo 1970 was my favourite. So out of respect, I chose red.
    It presents well?
