I wasn't sure about that either, after doing some digging it's definitely Gentian Blue Metallic;

Not SMB

Way more purple in the flop than blue on SMB, both look great.

I was behind a 911 targa and commented to my wife how much nicer the lines are now then when I had mine,]. Some consider the design iconic but I still think it lags behind its competitors

Maybe in the styling but not on the track.

I agree with that. My 2000 911 handled great, Porsche has that down pat. Overall I prefer my Z06 to a 911. Its faster, looks better, a lot less $$ and while it doesn't handle as well its good enough for me

The green isn't my cup of tea, nor is all that carbon fibre texture.

Nice shoes! What spec did you go with and what did it end up weighing vs stock? I still have no idea what to order for mine

Big fan of the oak green. Grats!

Vossen RS74 Midnight Smoke. If heavy track use...maybe not.

Here's some more pics, but they don't really do it justice.

So happy to finally get one, and now I already have parts coming...

And it's gone! Time for something new.

Just snagged a 720s.. Overall the M5 CS was a more fun car to drive than the 992 Turbo S. Wish I didn't sell it.

Some will think you're crazy. I see selling already as a bit of a commonality with the turbo. Probably got your money back and possibly a gain though.

Thinking you may enjoy more 'analogness'.

Welp...pics up the Mac!
Njoy.
