That scale was taken from the Nissan site. I looked at the same image on the Nissan site when I started looking for Zs in GM, which is why I was thrown off by the images posted above. I was expecting something much much darker than the Gun Metallic GTRs.

I'm a little surprised they even came out with the Gun Metallic for the Z considering the slight difference from PG.

Yea I agree, they should have made the 40th color the replacement for PG. It is by far the best looking shade they have. Gun Metallic is too light for my taste. Chevy has a nice dark shade of grey on the vettes I really like.

And bring back burnt orange PLEASE
