Ok there is a story behind that color. First I was already trying to sell it because I was one of the first 20 or so American with an R32 and I didn't like all the goofy new guys that were buying them, they are a plague now. It had rust issues from a wicked accident with the previous owner so it wasn't straight.I got nailed sitting in traffic buy some old Japanese lady so I got a free paintjob from her insurance company. There were several black(the original color of my car) GTS-Ts coming on the market at low prices because they were all broken. This was lowering the sale value of my car even though it ran like a top. I decided to pick a freaky color because even though that would halve the audience of people who were interested in the car the people who wanted it would REALLY WANT IT.I swear it looked a lot more purple on the paint chart but at any rate I sold in within two weeks of putting it back on the market. My buddy who was shooting it asked three seperate times "are you absolutely sure about this color"? Some Miata has recently shown up with the same color, copycat!
