red or black.
 
Ok so most likely im getting my z tomorrow. the nismo version. what color do you guys think is better red or black? i cant decide.

m4a1mustang 07-17-2009 02:15 PM

If I could do it again I would choose Red over black. I've always hated red cars and have no clue why I bought one.

SpawnAeroJohn 07-17-2009 02:18 PM

Red! Red is the hardest color to see imperfections. Next to yellow and white...

But red is slick.

Sorry! I meant to type I'd choose black over red. LOL.

But I just voted for red. See it's a very emotional color. Love/Hate.

Pushing_Tin 07-17-2009 02:23 PM

Black FTW! But only if you don't mind extra work keeping it clean and waxed.

MetalPiotr 07-17-2009 02:25 PM

I would definitely go for the Red if I was you.

Red is an attention getter. Black can blend in but EVERYONE is going to see you in Red.

I don't like red under very bright light, but at certain times it just looks stunning.

I have just always hated Red cars except for Ferraris... The Z just looked amazing so I had to do it.

My favorite color on a car is dark blue (specifically Ford's "True Blue") but that was not an option.

I have always liked black cars, I just dread maintaining them because I am OCD and it would drive me insane.

black can be more rewarding, but there is alot of work involved. If your okay accepting you need to wash at least once a week and add some sort or product quick spray type item after words i think your okay with black.

And another side note, conventional wax's and probably everything you buy at walmart will most likely melt off and you will have to use more of a synthentic polish like zaino.

but the black nismo z looks way better than the red one.

Black = something to contend with, mean, bad..........
But that's just my opinion.

6MT 07-17-2009 04:55 PM

Black is way too hard to maintain. I like black, but I just got rid of a black car for that very reason. Red stands out. My wife's Accord coupe is red, and it's nice and not as hard to maintain as my old black one was. (I'll never buy another black one.)

Island_370 07-17-2009 05:38 PM

I voted for Black, but I own red.

Black looks SOOOOOOO good when clean and waxed. But I cannot stand how quickly it looks dirty. I am too lazy to own black. Maybe once I am retired.

Forrest 07-17-2009 07:46 PM

i wash once a week, it does not look dirty with in 1 week, of normal use. That might be due to the superiority of zaino though.

hey32g 07-17-2009 08:15 PM

I have a black 335i right now and hate it. it's just too hard to keep clean. It's ruined the enjoyment of the car. And my personal opinion is the red looks much better than black on the 370. Sorry, don't mean to offend you black drivers just my opinion.

StLRedrider 07-17-2009 08:21 PM

Red

juan05 07-17-2009 09:06 PM

Red, theres nothing like a whore in heat.

cwj370 07-18-2009 08:27 AM

This is my 4th black car and every time I say "I'll never get black again". Then I go to the dealership and I can't resist it. It just out shines every other color. imo You know what they say, "Once you go black you'll never go back". ha

Yeah, and it's easy to clean a silver car because swirl marks don't show. You can't clean a black car like you can a silver car. Believe me I've had both. Cleaning a silver car is enjoyable, cleaning a black car is stressful because you know you're putting swirls in if you aren't EXTREMELY careful. Red shows swirls to, but not to the extent of black.

I'm telling you, I've had 4 black cars, and this is the last one I'll ever have. Yes, they look great when you get it right, but that only lasts about 1/2 a day, because then you start seeing dust or you drive through a puddle and your hours of work are shot to hell.

Believe me if you get black you'll never feel like you're washing even though it doesn't need it. It will ALWAYS need it.

ZCarMan 07-18-2009 10:42 AM

When I bought my Z I was looking for either a red or a black. I got the black because for me the black when clean and waxed just looks sleek and sexy. Red is great too so don't get me wrong and I know you're having a hard time like me when I was looking last month. Black is always harder to keep clean and you have to really pay attention to the wax and care. Either way, you'll be happy I'm sure. Good Luck!
