I agree! I think they look great in red. It suits the Caymen even more.

On another note you weren't at the nurburgring with the NSX two weekends ago?

I love red 997's but so few of them are ordered in such colours I would always be suspicious that it was an ex-demo car or worse, an ex-press-fleet car!

Red Caymans also look great. Much better than red Boxsters for some reason.

I would consider a red(with black interior) 996TT as a toy / weekend car but the trouble with buying a brand new red Porsche is the negative reaction that you can get in the office car park... I specifically chose a sober Lapis blue when I specced my Boxster but it still turned my ex-boss's (ford Galaxy driving) face guards red!

My Mother-in-Law took delivery of her new 997 C4S in March........BRIGHT RED.

Good girl.....she's 60 and knew exactly what she wanted. It looks superb.

Well I have no bias whatsoever and I just wished I had purchased a red one, as I think they look awesome.

Think the red sits on the 997 incredibly well and it also (accordingy to a some) looks great in work car parks.....

Got followed into the local DIY yesterday by a guy in a 997 TT in Guards Red. Looked fantastic. Had a brief chat with him and his Missus, and it turned out to be her choice..... Strange, because my missus talked me into speccing Red for 2 of my recent cars (one of them a 996) aswell - think the tide is turning, and people are starting to get fed up with the usual boring 'safe' colours?

Red is making a come back for sure, these things tend to go in cycles of 15 to 20 years. MGs in the 60s and 70s etc etc. If someone can explain how the heck I CAN GET A PHOTO FROM "MY PICTURES" onto a thread I will post a picky of my 997 2s with the black factory wheels on it if anyone is interested?
Thanks

You have to host the pic somewhere that is publically accessable - there are quite a few sites that are free e.g. photobucket. Free sites allow photos of limited size and quality though, but good enough for me anyway. Alternatively, you get to post a pic in your PH profile and can link to that...

Saw a lovely red 997TT in Leeds yesterday, even my 7 year old and 4 old girls said WOW! together.

So. Five years ago when I order my car I started a trend?
