Has anyone seen "Passion Red"?

sp911 · 03-23-2018, 03:08 PM

looks like my wife's 2016 ruby red mustang. she loves it. looks great to me too.

what about finding a lightly used nismo? I bought my 17 nismo with 7200 miles on it for the same price as a new sport would have cost...maybe a bit less.

abailey362, I've thought a lot about the Nismo and looked at some used ones. Prices vary widely, from great deals to not so great. My hesitation with the Nismo is that I don't find the seats very comfortable (and neither does my wife). I'm 'older' (60-ish) and 'not small' (6 ft, 210 lbs), so it's a tight fit in the Nismo seats. They're OK for a short ride, but I don't think they would be very comfortable on a long one. My wife is fairly petite, and they're even uncomfortable for her.

I've thought about getting a Nismo and swapping out the seats for either Sport seats, or pre-2014 Nismo seats (which are basically Sport seats). But, that's a plan with multiple potential points of failure (shipping seats back and forth is expensive; and it would likely ruin the resale value of the Nismo).

The search for an honest Nissan dealer continues, so far without any luck...

It’s almost like a darker shade of red. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe PR does not have pearl, at least it didn’t appear to when I saw it

I think that's called 'magma red', which is, red color with some black in it. Think back to mixing colors as a kid.

That’s how “black cherry” came about

I think I've only seen one other MB 370z since I bought mine new in 2014. Everyone moving to Portland is pretty unimaginative: "MUST buy Subaru / X-over"

The Z does just fine year round on some PSS tires, and the snow rarely sticks around for more than a half day.

Good luck finding a Z, lets meet up once ya have it, since there just are few Z owners, and it seems like the Infinity owners only drive at night? I never see 'em.

markesc, definitely! I think I’m finally honing in on an honest Nissan dealer to sell me a car.

It seems like it’ll be about the second 370Z in Portland (after yours). Like you said, around here it seems to be all Subaru all the time.
