Polar or artic?

Just wondering which you guys perfer. I have a 04 Polar silver and like it better than the artic. Your thoughts?

A picture would help......

I have Arctic Silver and prefer Arctic Silver.

You are splitting hairs. Both are lovely colors for a 911 Porsche. I have an Artic Silver but would have settled for either. I think the inside has a lot going for a 911. A full leather different color than black would have been my choice but I have what I have, a black interior.

Polar is the best of the silvers as it has that special hue Like Zanzibar Red has a hue Which looks orange in sun Red at night

Polar Silver... Has a bluish cast compared to Arctic. I prefer it, partially because it is much less common than Arctic.

Polar Silver is the only silver that I like. Otherwise primary colors for me such as red, blue, green, yellow, orange, etc.

i would guess i have arctic? what ever it is it's the better one

92M replaces 92U for Polar Silver ...but there were a couple of options 92E Polar silver metallic 92M* Polar silver metallic 92T Arctic silver metallic 92U* Arctic silver metallic * indicates water based paint for pearl effect

I'm liking silver - each has it's own luster - here's my arctic silver C2

artic for me, I don't like really pale blue cars.

I have Arctic but I think Polar is nicer and less common. Not the biggest fan of silver anyways.

I like both versions of silver. I really like GT Silver metallic also. However, when I bought my 996 I specifically avoided cars that were silver, black or red. I wanted something that wasn't quite as common.

I prefer GT Silver :P

Seal Grey Metallic is my favorite Porsche color. My 996 is black, but I'd love it even more if it were seal grey. The lighter silvers are a little too common, and the louder colors (yellow) are a little too look-at-me for my tastes. No dis on the silver cars... they're all good looking.

Polar Silver is one of my favorite Porsche colors, along with Amazon Green, Orient Red, and Irish Green.

For my tastes when I was searching for a MKII C2 coupe... First Choice : Seal Gray Polar Silver White Second Choice: Black Arctic Silver Arena Red Looks great on other peoples car, but definitely not for me: Speed Yellow Guards Red Forest Green Similarly, wood trim, tan interiors, and soft-look leather were all deal-breakers for me. Just not my taste...

I have arctic - I think polar looks nicer and if I could pick.....I would pick polar.

What color code is this?

Speechless............

Here's a pic of my Polar on the left next to a buds on the right.

There are a lot of polar fans. I almost bought a polar TT, but the color didn't do it for me. I prefer arctic or gt.

i didnt realize it was that dramatic a difference. the polar silver seems more vivid in this pic. polar is awesome and i like that the colour seems to change somewhat between a grey overcast kinda day and a full sun kinda day. a friend mentioned he saw me blast past him one day...said it looked awesome and the car is very distinctive looking in the polar silver.

I searched for a year in 2007 for a Targa with a different interior and fell in love with the Arctic Silver and Boxter Red full leather interior! John 2003 Targa mine since '07 1966 911 - Gone 41 years ago 1969 911E Targa - Gone 41 years ago

Oddly enough so do I

From my perspective, Polar Silver is Blue; but in any case that is a nice collection of Porsches.

Polar. My favorite Porsche color... after Orient Red of course.

Artic Silver...they are faster

Arctic is the only real silver...

I think any silver is nice but am partial to Arctic Silver, here's mine. Web CAM00200.jpg

My vote goes to Arctic Silver but GT Silver is the way I roll!

My car is arctic but I think Polar Silver is the best color for the 996. Love the blue hue.

Is it actually spelled Ar c tic?? I never realized that til now lol!!!

+1 for Arctic, but I'm partial to Ocean Blue for some reason. Ken

Today I happen to see a Polar Silver 996 MK1 coupe roll by. It looked much more light blue metallic than silver. To me, Arctic has way more appeal.

My previous 911 was a Polar silver 993. I wasn't crazy about it when I first saw the car until I opened the door and saw the Midnight Blue interior. I thought it was a great combination. Since then I've seen numerous 911s with Polar over Black and it doesn't look as good to me. I like the Arctic silver cars but they're just so common.

Last year I was looking at a Polar Silver C4 with a light grey interior and I thought that was a good color combo.

My mistake guys. My car on the left is Polar but my friends car to the right is meridian silver, not artic.

I was lucky enough to find a well kept Polar but any silver or gray would have been fine. Always imagined my first 911 in silver on black.
