Z looks good in almost all colors. Only color I wasn't too fond of was red, simply because with the red tail lights, it looked like "too much" in the back.

I forgot to add that the windows will be limoed out, and the taillights will be tinted on which ever one I buy right of the bat.

how about YOU convince me why you should be able to buy one???

But seriously, why would you make a statement such as this?!? GO TEST DRIVE ONE!!!

then come back and tell us your impressions...

frost 08-08-2009 11:58 PM

Just ask yourself, which color would you kill three people for?

nogoodname 08-09-2009 12:01 AM

like i asked already, which colour came to mind 1st?????????????

BanningZ 08-09-2009 12:06 AM

I don't see color.

Go with Black

Mike 08-09-2009 12:18 AM

black is easy to care for as long as you don't look too closely. From 5 feet away, swirls, etc, don't show.

Ive already driven them a bunch of times, they just never had the 6 speed with a sport package, and the last shipment they got in had 2. I know I want one. What i meant was convince me to chose one of the 2 colors over the other. i will definitely have one by next week.

So what you are saying is close my eyes until i get in the car, and keep people 5 feet away from my car at all times. LMAO

have you scene both colors in person?

I own the red one as you can see in my album...

as for the black one, it is super nice, and if you do it right it looks five feet deep!!!

my only gripe with black is the up keep...

Ive only washed my z four times since ive owned it and waxed it once, with a spray wax in between...I use a california duster dailey just to keep the everyday road dust off of it and give the paint a nice shine...

I may be biased in saying this but I think red is easier to upkeep than black, but if you have the time and patience, then black would be more rewarding :tup:

I vote for black A+++++

FricFrac 08-09-2009 02:30 AM

Personally I think black is the weakest colour on the 370Z. I am constantly mistaking the two 370Zs that are in town here for a 350Z until I see either the tail lights or the European fog lamp. The lines are so washed out with the black. The 370Z has some serious curves - the rear end is mouth watering and very destinctive. So why hide that with the black....

The other less important reason I wouldn't get a black car is that every other car here in town and pretty much every other city I travel to is either white, black or silver. Those colours are done to death and sooooo common place.

I'll admit my friend's '07 G35 looks great in black but the 370Z looks washed out..... but the G doesn't have near the curves and lines of the 370Z.

Definately Red!

I like the curves on the black. Yes more work to keep looking nice, but it is a labor of love. Yesterday there was a meeting in No. VA and we had every color except white (although a white 350Z did join us) and I have to say that each color reps well. Different lighting, angle of view brings out subtleties in the lines. Get which one YOU like the most.

Educ8r 08-09-2009 09:31 AM

Get the BLACK and tell all your friends too!

Here is a great test for selecting a color……………got to the Nissan dealership at night when there is little or no illumination of the flattering angles. If you want the Z to be incognito and stealthy at night go black. Red amplifies the great sexy lines day or night. I couldn’t decide in the beginning between red and black, but once I visited the dealership at night in almost total darkness, my decision was made for me. Car color is a personal choice. Some cars look great in black………BMW, Mercedes-Benz etc. and some cars look great in red……….Ferrari, Corvettes, and my Z.

m4a1mustang 08-09-2009 11:24 AM

There is no bad color on the 370.

zZSportZz 08-09-2009 11:33 AM

They all look good....here is most of the colors (except white)...


Edit: Damn..big *** picture...lemme see if i can thumbnail it.

^nice line up, you can't go wrong with any of them

zZSportZz 08-09-2009 11:44 AM

I'm biased to black...since I have a black car. However, all my other vehicles were red. I went into the dealership to buy a red Z, but they had a black one in the showroom and it took my breath away so I had them order me one. The advice to go look at them in person is spot on. I totally changed my color choice after seeing them in person. Black is just stunning.


Another example is that I never liked yellow cars...until I saw toohip's in person. Its beautiful and totally changed my perspective towards yellow. I would own one in a heartbeat.

kdo2milger 08-09-2009 11:47 AM

:iagree:

m4a1mustang 08-09-2009 11:49 AM

Yup. No one color adds or subtracts anything from the lines of the Z. They only add their own bit of character to the car.

I love my Red but at that meet yesterday I spent a lot of time admiring all of the other colors. You can't go wrong with the 370.

This was my original reason for not wanting black on the 370z, and I tend to agree with you. I have just always wanted a black sports car, and since this will be my first brand new car, I was going to do it.

The funny thing is that I loved black on every other car I looked at including the Evo, G37, camaro, and vette. Im hoping the lines will pop better on the black in person for the 370z cause it is the only color I have yet to see in person.
