2013 On Order

Magic Bus · 05-22-2012, 07:52 PM

Hi Gang, looking forward to being a new Z owner soon. Placed a special order for a 2013 Gun Metal, 6mt with sport package this past Friday. Gonna have to wait the 3-4 months before it comes in, so that will be torture but I'm sure it will be worth it!

Used to own a '76 280z back in the day, so I guess you could say I'll be in the older crowd in this forum.

My current rides are '04 G35 Coupe (auto, most likely selling this one) and 2011 VW GTI (auto), so a stick will be a very welcome addition.

I look forward to participating here and will be glad to give honest comparisons between the GTI and the new Z after I get it.

Welcome, nice cars! The 2013 will be pretty sweet, the led lights on the front bumper and the removal of the fangs are still a change many current owners are not too happy with, but its still a 370z! Enjoy it when you get it.

Magic Bus · 05-23-2012, 08:04 PM

nmjaxx9, Thank you for the kind words. It looks like the fangs are still somewhat there, but colored to match the rest of the grill. I guess Nissan has to do something to differenciate the years. Definitely looking to enjoy it! Thanks again.

Hello,
I am planning on buying 370Z 2013 around September, please keep us posted how is progress on your order.

Magic Bus · 05-25-2012, 03:19 AM

Magillus, will do. There are a couple of Nissan dealers close to me. Both are receiving their first 2013's in or around July. One dealer shows just one being received for now, but it's an automatic.

The other will be receiving 2. One is an auto and the second is a 6mt with a sports package (what I want), but it's white. While I think the white looks great (my current G35 Coupe is white), I want to get something different......unless they give me an offer I can't refuse

Nice man! I have a 2013 on order also. Good luck!

Magic Bus · 05-26-2012, 05:09 PM

LakeShow, Thanks for the kind words. Notice you have Gun Metallic and now ordering a white. Those 2 were the only colors I was considering for mine.

A base white 370z parked next to my G yesterday and it was gorgeous! Maybe I might have to stick with white and get the Z a couple months sooner than waiting for the Gun Metallic. Hmmm

I think the pearl white would look awesome with black tinted windows, so something to think about.

LakeShow · 05-26-2012, 05:39 PM

Those are the only two colors I would consider for the Z. As much as I love my current Gun Metallic, I feel as it doesn't stand out as much as white would. I was looking at some of the white Z's here on the forums and they just look great. Nissan's Pearl white is such a pretty color.
Don't get me wrong I love the Gun metal as I did purchase it initially, but after debating to get another Gun metal or White, I went with white after comparing them for a while. Also on the 2013 will have red brakes and the LED's in the front, which I think will look awesome on the white no doubt. It's up to you, both great colors, you won't be disappointed with either. I personally think these are the best two colors. If you choose white you get it a few months earlier which is even better. Good luck!

What would you guys think if a 54 year old guy, drove the above color 2013 Z?
