I would have to say the best Pearl white color was the 1995 "Performance White" Ford Thunderbird. they had brightest and colorful pearlescent white ive ever seen. They were known to take 3 different coats to make the right shimmer if something needed to be repainted.

I don't know that I regret the color but it wasn't my first choice. I looked all over SouCal for a Magnetic Black Touring/Sports 6 speed with no navigation for several weeks. Finally located one. Called the dealer, asked how many miles on the car. Was told about 7, they just got it in. Asked to confirm it was a 6MT. Check. OK, I'll be up tomorrow morning to buy it. I drove 100 miles, got to the dealership, saw the car on the lot. Looked in the window. It was an AT. No others on the lot. The salesman who I talked to on the phone the day before was nowhere to be found. Another salesman located a Platinum Graphite at another dealer about 30 miles away with the options I wanted, and I ended up with it but it was the same color as the G35 I traded in and I wanted something different.
Black 370Z's seem scarce and they sure do look good when clean and waxed.
I'm still bummed I didn't get the black color.

Mine had to be PW with black interior. Got lucky cause one showed up here in town a few weeks later. No regrets.

Quick370z · 03-19-2013, 05:56 PM

the thing is up here in Canada, 370z I would say is pretty rare, it not like a mustang offered in everything (grabber blue/green etc).

I wish they never stopped making the Daytona Blue, or even had yellow for just 2009.

I have black because well it was only option, did I fall in love with it though - yes.

I would get PW, my G35 was white and I miss having that color

forza370z · 03-19-2013, 07:11 PM

I really think OP's case is "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" thing...

Black and white are 2 of my favorite colors on cars in general. When I had my black g35 coupe, I got bored and always envy others have the white ones. Now I finally got my white 370 I started to miss the black so much!

Thats the same same Pearl white that was on the 02/03 Max and 03-08 350's paint code QX1. Dunno why they ditched it for this current way more bland pearl white!

My friend,
Pearl White really rocks, it's an awesome colour, my son has the same colour, I could not find that colour so I settled for Black Rosé

I really like bright white, but not pearl white.

I suppose that it's human nature but it seems that we're never satisfied. Do you know how many people would love to have a 370Z whether it's red, blue, black, white, pink, or purple????? Hey....how about pink? I know my wife would love one! I'm happy to see that many of you like yellow. I need to take another good look at mine! You know what they say, the grass is always yellower!!!
