tangy orange is super cool............i dunno the actually paint colour code or name

MetalPiotr 05-30-2009 08:41 PM

I would get the Chicane Yellow if I was you. I'm waiting patiently till I can order one.

molamann 05-30-2009 11:55 PM

Don't think it's a factory color.

StLRedrider 05-30-2009 11:57 PM

Red or White

k20z3 05-30-2009 11:59 PM

Red- if it doesn't have the "Pearl" effect abrasive scratches show EASY!
Pearl white would be amazing, white is a really good color!
Black- meh, hard to maintain looks great if you do
yellow- run into same problem if it doesn't have pearl effect
PG(Platinum Gray- I think i'd be a great color!

It's really personal preference. I'd get yellow because it stands out the best and there are probably less yellow Z cars on the road (not sure). White would be second preference. It would look sexy in any color really.

I definitely wish that orange was an available color but it's not. The closest you will get is Chicane Yellow which is a great looking color. I went with red just because it has so much pop. It really stands out.

Z Coupe / convertible colors.........
 
Are the coupe and convertible colors always identical, or do they sometimes differ year to year?

NXTAZEE 05-31-2009 11:52 PM

The two colors which really show the curves off are PG and the blue imo.

Nissan has used that burnt orange color in the past. My ex-wife had an 05 Sentra SE-R in that color and we actually made out like a bandit when we traded it in because the dealer really wanted that color. They put it on their lot and sold it in a week.

I went with the yellow because it stands out. It was a $500 option, but I'm hoping that it will be rarer and it may help the car hold a little value.

I read a review that said Chicane Yellow will be a limited edition color available for the first year only. Is this true?

StLRedrider 06-01-2009 10:00 AM

There's a dealer here thats got a brand new orange 07 350 on the show room floor. It's cool looking.RED.

I was told the same thing by my dealer when I purchased the Yellow one. Only for this year.

2theextreme 06-01-2009 10:10 AM

It looks like the color in question is called "Solar Orange"....according to the one that is available here on ebay:

2007 Solar Orange on ebay

Does that mean yellow is only available this year for the US or worldwide?

The Chicane Yellow is very nice. It definitely sticks out. I personally don't want to be a cop magnet, but thats just me. I'm going to go with the Monterey Blue.

Isnt that the pot calling the kettle black? A bright blue color seems like it would be about the same as yellow in terms of a cop magnet. Its damn sexy though.

cave vulture 06-01-2009 04:48 PM

yellow one year only ?
 
The fact that the yellow is not listed as a 2010 370z convertible color, might indicate it will no longer be available after the 2009 model run. On the other hand I am not certain that the convertible and coupe colors coincide?

nogoodname 06-01-2009 04:48 PM

yellow, red, blue are the cop magnet colours

the G37 coupe and the G37 converitble have a few different colours.....

xiven 06-02-2009 06:33 AM

my eclipse is burnt orange and really sticks out but somehow i've been able to dodge the cops for the last 3 years

Yes, that is true.

Forumite 06-02-2009 07:32 AM

I went with the chicane on mine because it either had to be that or red. I'm not buying a sports car to blend in with the crowd.

Black is damn sexy though, just hard to maintain.

CBRich 06-02-2009 09:26 AM

I was also stuck on yellow, red, or blue. Sports cars need to be seen.

MutantChicken 06-02-2009 01:53 PM

Personally I just love the red, but I have yet to see one in person .... yet.

cave vulture 06-02-2009 04:58 PM

Are you able to order all colors anytime?
 
I know with the Viper they would have a run of green and then move on to blue. Once they had moved on, you could no longer order green.

you went with the wrong color if you didn't want your Z to be a cop magnet!!!

There's an article on this Z in the May issue of Super Street, page 46. Here is the Web site article: Japan's Hottest New Tuner Has A Thing For Fast Nissans. First The GT-R, Now This 370Z. Hot? Oh Yes.

The color is from Lamborghini.

FricFrac 06-02-2009 06:01 PM

Oh boy color is definately a personal preference. I think some vehicles look great in black but I really think the lines of the 370Z are greatly diminshed by the lack of color (black, white and silver) not to mention there are countless black/white/silver cars on the street and most of the blue/red and the rare yellow are much more muted than the 370Z colors. I've always wanted a blue sports car because I really like blue and its fairly uncommon. The red and yellow are fantastic colors on the Z - I just think there are too many red sports cars out there but the Z still looks fantastic in red. The yellow was super tempting because here in Canada there are very few 370Zs sold in the 2009 model year and I'd be surprised if there were more than 50 yellow Z in Canada at all and since this is the only year the yellow is available its going to be a super rare car up here... and it looks great! Go for the yellow if you can find the one you want. Ordering a 370Z and waiting SUCKS especially now that summer is here....
