I don't see color.

Go with Black

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

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

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!

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.

...and its totaly personal choice. Regardless even if you get the wrong colour you're gonna love your Z. Personally with a car like the Z there are so many curves that aren't in the profile of the car that get washed out with the black/white/silver cars. Something like the G that has a nice profile or silhouette looks fantastic in black. The G doesn't have a lot of accent lines. The 370Z has a great silhouette but it also has some fantastic lines that are not a major part of the sihouette - those are the ones I'm refering to gettting washed out. Like the accents in the hood and roof line and even the tubbed out rear end is not as noticeable with the black. Keep that in mind when you look at the black and the red side by side....
