The color is called Graphite Blue Metallic. It has multiple personalities. In low light, it looks gray and more like a solid color. In sunlight, it is more blue and the metallic really comes out. I am loving this car!

I think I will keep it stock (for now). It certainly is quieter, but the pops and burbles on decal are intoxicating.

M3Zing, signal green is a great color! I miss the jellybean colors of the 70s...

Thanks all! Sorry to highjack this thread.

There is no way you can DD that thing. It rattles your brains loose on anything that is less then perfect roads. If your commute is more then 20-30 minutes, goodluck. And it scrapes on EVERYTHING.

It definitely is the more enjoyable car though. A visceral, in your face driving experience.
I have a 991 GT3, and it's way more comfortable and a better daily driver than my 997.1TT. The suspension is great and the front lift helps a lot. I've driven it for 4+ hours without a break, and I felt totally fine after.

I appreciate the 991 especially the Turbo S for what it does! But for that price point and my $$$ I want more "exotic looks and curbside appeal". It doesn't have to be faster because honestly how many races or tracks will it ever see?
So I would go with an R8 or pre-owned Ferrari or Lambo. But to each his own.

*edit* see you made the purchase. Congrats! Looks mighty fine.

What a colour, kudos, it's gorgeous.

If i am going to nitpick I think it'd look a bit better with a slightly smaller wheel and a little more sidewall. I suspect it would handle better too.

Completely agree. I think it is getting close to a price range where it cannot compete. I was tempted by the Turbo S, but after a short drive it was clear that is not even as exciting as the GTS. So I got a 650s for just 80k more than the Turbo S would have been.
