Default Soon-to-be Nismo owner! Question is - Red or Black???

Hi all!

I've been reading through this forum for a while now while patiently saving up for a 2014 Nismo 370Z. I'm planning on dropping damn near 20g's on it to help tame those monthly payments, and I'm just about ready to make my purchase - probably this month!

I fell in love with the solid red paint job (especially since it works well with the Nismo gunmetal trimming and rim color, and red pinstriping), but finding a solid red one has proven to be rather difficult. Not impossible, but difficult.

I've had a few people suggest and even express their preference for the car in magnetic black. Black is my backup plan, and the more I think about it the more it seems to appeal to me. I live in FL though, so black is going to be hot hot HOT!

So I ask you, people of the 370z, which way would you go? I'm not considering gunmetal or white (though the white is VERY pretty)
One more question - does the magnetic black have any pearl flakes in it? I didn't look closely the last time I was at the dealership.

It feels good to be so close to joining the ranks!

I really wanted the red, my 350 was Nogaro red, probably the rarest color outside of brickyard.

But I got the black ... cus mobsters drive only black cars.

It does, gold, red, blue green very fine flakes, all very subtle though.

Having owned a black car in the TX summers I will say this: It doesn't matter what color you own, it's gonna get hot no matter what!!! I noticed my black car with a black leather interior felt just as hot as my mom's beige camry with a beige leather interior. There MIGHT have been a few degrees difference, but hot is hot. I would advise to get it tinted ASAP, it definitely cuts down on the interior heat. And a windshield shade when parked.

So as far as what color, I think they're both great choices for the Z. It really should be all about preference. The only warning I have about black is that it starts looking dirty very easily. Any small amount of dirt or dust just seems to stand out. In regards to red, it stands out from the crowd more. May be a plus or minus depending how you look at it.

Congrats, I also live in Florida and in the same boat, though I am a little further off then this month, hope May or June to drive away with mine. Enjoy it and do not forget to include

when you get her.
