    nice! love the color :) is that carbon fiber on the center console?

    any chance you'll be at the track day at Barber in early March? It's an Alabama PCA event. not sure where in the Southeast you are.

    Looks fantastic!

    Is it mexico blue or a bit lighter (can't tell on my Blackberry)?? I love the old IROC colors...the slime green of the 2007 GT3 RS and the mexico blue of your car. IMO, the best colors for hardcore 911's.

    First track day will probably be in April... Roebling Road or Road Atlanta. The color is Riviera Blue. Actually, it's a bit darker than Mexico blue in the shade, but it seems brighter than Mexico blue in the sun...

    Congrats........what a nice color choice.........!!!!! I absolutely love it.

    Riviera Blue, Mexico Blue and Gulf Blue are all very similar shades when seen in pictures, but you can only really tell the tiny subtle differences in person and under natural light.........all of them are beautiful. Riviera Blue is from the early-mid 90's color palates and was an extra cost "special color" when you ordered it.........IIRC it was around $4,500 Canadian at the time.

    FWIW......Mexico Blue is a just little darker, and Gulf blue is just a little brighter, than the paint on this car.

    Still a great color choice.
    Walter Rohrl took a new Riviera Blue 993 coupe down to Monaco for a tour of some of the Monte Carlo Rally roads where he enjoyed success before. On the quick tour down some of the old roads he still remember a few tricky spots that froze over after the rest of the road would be clear. A four time Monte Carlo Rally winner; there were no problems for Walter when he parked in the 'NO Parking' zone in front of the casino either. As Walter noted in a sort of suprised tone 'they still remember me'!

    The 2010 GT3 is probably one of the best driving Porsches I have ever driven. I PDI'd one and fell in love with it.
