Not a fan of the roadster, but if you are gonna get it, I wouldn't get black... My buddy just unloaded his 08 Tahoe (Black in color), and that thing had so many swirls on it, it took us HOURS to detail it... There is nothing better than a clean, black car, the problem is, it is damn near impossible to keep em clean!

I was just down at the dealesr in Fairfax, VA and the have a Black Cherry Coupe. It looked pretty nice.

I have a black car. I look good in it. I dont see myself in any other colors.

The black Z chose me.

Its impossible to see swirls unless you two feet from the car. But when i drive on the freeway, people turn their heads i know they're looking at me and my Z, not the swirls. when i turn my head and look at them, i know i get respect from driving a black Z.

Thats all that matters.

I've been going through the same thing for a couple of weeks, deciding on options and colors. I think the reason it's been hard is that the Z looks good no matter what. You can't go wrong.

I like the roadster a lot. My wife likes the coupe because she thinks the top spoils the lines, so she suggested we get black. That way the top would blend in better with the lines of the car.

I've never had black for the reasons we all know and I don't think I'm going to start now.

I have had a red sports car before, and they are definitely head turners. You can't go wrong with red.

On the Z, I've decided I like the white over black. The contrast doesn't bother me and the PW is a nice looking color that doesn't show dirt and is easy to see on the road.

I think the PG is awesome also. There's something about it that makes the lines of the car stand out, and I like the look of the door handles etc against that color the best.

So for me, it will be the PW, the SR, or the PG. I'd be happy with any of them.

i bought silver for my last 3 cars.

it's been raining hard for more than a week in california and i drove the 370z every day, but it's looking like it's just been washed.

Go with red is a nice color fairly easy to keep clean as well. Black when clean looks greats, but I had a big black truck and trying to keep that beast clean was well a beast. Had to wash it weekly and the next day it would be dirty again, showed every single imperfection. You can't go wrong with red... Or Monterey Blue

I had a black truck once. I will never own another black vehicle again. Take it for what it's worth.

I think only car people would understand the necessity for an emergency quick detailing.

Silver 

Color won't make a difference to how hot it is in the car. All the heat comes through the windows. A recent test at Fords car lot of various colors showed an immeasurable difference between different colors. There was however, a less than 1 deg C difference from black to white so I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor.

:iagree:

I LOVE my black Z but keeping it clean is crazy. Its more of a pain in the azz than anything. The first hour or two after a wash is flawless (if your not close to see all the swirls and scratches from the car wash) This is why I'm going to paint it 3/4 QAB Pearl white. Dirt won't be so obvious anymore. Black IS gorgeous but definitly won't stay clean for long!

I always thought I would get the black when shopping for the 370Z. However once I saw it in person, I thought the black overwhelmed the shape, contours of the car.

:icon18: agree, shows every swirl but looks the best when its clean

Red is a very emotional color. I love it and hate it at the same time. Best color ever.
