That's what you get for ordering your GT3 RS in the gayest of colors. That color combo is atrocious. The Porsche Gods got their revenge.

Now it's time to guess the insurance claim amount .... I'd say between $30-40K for fix? Wonder if the tub's tweaked.

Any estimates???

I drove an '11 GT3RS while waiting for my car at the dealer and it didn't feel like you could crash it.

When I first got in I thought, 'my insurance agent will kill me if I wreck this' and then I thought what the heck you live once and hammered it!
