Speed Yellow - Peoples thoughts
Discussion
Perhaps everyone who thinks it looks revolting are too polite to say so.
Non porsche people probably don't appreciate the significance of the yellow to the marque. Most valid point made is that it stands out. Police hardly likely to be able to ignore you if your doing something wrong.

For the road I think bright colours are forgivable if they represent the brand - IE Ferrari / Alfa etc - but yellow is just brash for the sake of it. I am told that trashy and vulgar is the new minimalist but some people…. for the track anything goes
I would never dream of a Guards Red 911, however there was a really nice bright green 964 on the letters page of last month's Porsche & 911 World that really appealed. Don't know if it was a standard colour or not. I'd hardly call yellow trashy or vulgar, but I have warmed to these colours rather than the same old Polar Silvers etc.

I think speed yellow is prob not ideal for a 1st or work car, especially if it were to be used for attending meetings, etc. Though it is a great colour for a 2nd car or weekend hoon mobile, if you like it of course.
I find it really adds to the excitement of the car....or maybe I am too obsessed![](http://www.pistonheads.com/include/images/scratchchin.gif)

I think the Mk2 GT3 looks stunning in Speed Yellow, looked at it myself, but liked the Black/Black combo better.. also have had a Cerbera 4.5 in Camel Yellow and Mrs said never again..lol
I think for trackdays and social only, SY would work, but if you use car for driving to work as I do, would be too much.
