Nothing is changing manufacturing wise, surely its more down to mileage and spec?

Suggestion · Original poster
Looking at getting a 992 GT3 and was wondering what peoples view of Crayon Grey on a GT car was, is it a fad colour or will it last the test of time?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They look perfectly prepped for top coat in my opinion but it doesn’t really matter what I think. There will be plenty of people that really like Crayon too but only one opinion that counts!
I’ll do you a deal though. If you get a Crayon GT3 and don’t like it, I’ll always swap it for my Shark GTS.
Edit removed a smiley that didn’t work.
It felt a bit different 8 years ago, a bit like the 997 Sport Classic's sport grey.
I feel it has been done to death now. But only ever buy a car in a colour YOU love, otherwise you will get itchy feet and swap earlier and that will cost you far more in depreciation.
I know what you mean about being done to death, I was having look at the samples at my local OPC. Many seem so similar and very difficult capture the correct colour with a camera under lights....
Ask yourself how long flat grey windows/kitchens/wardrobes in properties will last before they become so last year and therein lies your answer.
Strange how history repeats itself grey was so in fashion in 1988 but soon fell out of favour just like white did in the 1980s as a car colour.
Rather depends on how long you intend keeping the car and whether you actually personally love the colour.
Arctic grey is the latest Porsche Crayon replacement but is becoming less popular.
Imo Crayon is a flat boring colour far better to go for a classic Porsche colour but as usual each to their own.
Personally I love it but am very biased.
Looks great and shows contrast with all the black bits, also looks very, very different under different skys. (Sometimes white,almost lavender, coffee colour.)
I also love black which is unpopular apparently so read into that what you will!
When I was on the hunt. I always dismissed black, but when one came up with almost perfect spec. Inc full ppf from topaz it was a no brainer. Looks awesome and importantly it didn’t have black wheels. Which I think get lost on every car
Looks good on a GT car but far less so on the Macan's and Cayenne's.
It is a fashionable colour and as one poster above stated it will go out of fashion. Regardless of any of our opinions , do you like it ?
With all the excellent firms offering wrapping and coloured PPF , if you get bored , jazz it up a bit.

My T was black and it looked fantastic, agree on the black wheels. My GT3 has them and whilst the contrast is good it would look better with silver.

if you like it, get it. It doesn't matter what others think. Life would be very boring if everyone had the same colour because it was "the best". Personally, I've gone Viola.....
Your car, your choice
I like a flat grey golour but Crayon does not do it for me. In certain light conditions it looks properly greay and in others it has a brownish tone I don't like. Had a GT solver 997 eons back and loved it to bits. GT also changes depending on light conditions but all in a consistent manner. Some people may call it boring. For a Touring it can be a great to choice in order to fly under the radar

This one caught my eye the other day, looked again today and it seems to of gone up £5K !
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2024032980...
As grey's go this is nicer in my opinion - and its cheaper - and less miles - and higher spec (I think)

^^^ that car is nearly 3 years old 21 plate whereas the other is only 8 months old 73 plate.
Unsure if that makes a heap of difference in the great scheme of things. Nothing is changing manufacturing wise, surely its more down to mileage and spec?
So is one too cheap or is one overpriced ?? The 73 plate car has just been increased by £5K also bit that could be due to the plate being removed ,, lol,
Sorry to disappoint all the fanboys on here but it's not the best on UK roads. A bit s
t in fact as it's too stiff. Had to sack mine off. Porsche 992 GTS or Turbos S or Artura for a faster and better ride.

faster? how fast is fast enough for you on UK roads that a GT3 can't deal with?

Well lets face it no one would have bought it sporting those hideous 'decals'....
Oh yes, very good sleuthing! looks much better.
Yikes who would choose to ruin a car like that?

I find the Dakar Shell stickers more baffling. Lets put the logo of the most hated company in the world on a car?!

Disagree, mines a ‘23 Touring and the ride is no worse than my 718 GT4 or 991.2 T it replaced.

The ride is hard, but the upside is that the car feels exciting at reasonable road speeds..
Cars like the Mac you mentioned, you need to drive at silly speeds before they begin to ‘feel fast’ imo..

Didn’t some of the reviews say the touring rode better ?

I believe so, especially on the later models..

Not sure if trolling but with correct tyres pressures they are fine. Mine certainly is. I know of a few that had questionable alignment from the factory , must have left the YTS apprentice in charge of the machine ! ....... but soon sorted.

Yes tyre pressures correctly set and geo and they are fine on the road - it’s a GT car after all.
PAG don’t geo the cars the sub assemblies for suspension come in from vendors. Like you I know of several that were out, getting a decent set up done is essential IMO.
