Classic paint
ok I love porsche, Im nuts for it. I must admit mazda comes a very close second...
now i have been trying to think of how to paint my car and i had 3 ideas
1) gulf porsche colors (1970)
2) martini porsche colors
3) or like the 1991 mazda 787B which won Le mans

love the braaaap
Definately #2. #1 is ok, but for some reason #3 is just... wrong. I don't know what mazda was smokin when they painted the 787B, but those colours just do not look good together, especially on that car. Its a nice car, but just all the wrong colours.
BTW, I like the way you think. I love porsches also. They are a lot like an RX-7. Different styling, awsome sounding engines with the right exhaust, and just plain unbeatable.

I dunno...if that's your rexxie in your avatar, I really can't see any of these paint schemes working on your car...but the lesser of three evils would be #2, which I voted for...

I have an 83 GS with a GSL LSD, disks, a bucket load of power mods, suspension mods, on a diet, and waiting for her wide body kit, It is going to be a race car for the street...porsche RS style, which is why a bit of crazy paint would work well, ala the 964 RSR and the 2.7RS. (both at which had crazy paint)

I must admit that I am partial to the gulf colors, I dont know why but they are kinda funky, and you would probaly admit that it would be cool and memorable to see a blue and orange wide body rex driving down the street. Im a little disapointed that #1 hasn't had more positive responce...
