    It photographs well here. I think the stickers make the car even though a bit much. It's like having a '73 or '74RS without the "Carrera" on the side.

    Am I the only one who likes the decals? I think it makes the car. Those and black rims would make it perfect to me.

    That plain silver looks incredible, but I do like the decals. To me, the GT3's should look a little racy. That's why I like them. They're different. They're not classy, they shouldn't look classy.

    There's no denying that the silver looks great. I agree that it is a bit too understated for such a nasty car - but that's clearly what the owner was going for.

    I inquired about this PTS 4.0 back in Feb. The owner wanted $250K. I can't justify that kind of premium and respect myself in the morning but DAMN! this thing looks incredible

    I love the understated GT silver. All he needs now is to get RUF to put in one of his discreet roll cages (IRC).

    One point that nobody mentioned:

    How the hell is GT Silver a paint to sample option on a $185,000 Porsche???

    I think the PTS was $8000 for the 4.0...for SILVER paint!

    Yes. All black with stickers looks fantastic.

    No surprise. Apparently, the Germans don't like alcantara.

    If they were different and not overdone, I may have liked it but I LOVE it without the decals.

    I think he ended up getting $235k for it.
