Guess Gun Metallic is the color of the day

metalmynx · 10-25-2011, 02:50 PM

I got one too.. I bought it back in May, replaced my 2000 Celica with a gun metallic 2011 370Z (Sport Package) and I freaking love it. It's my first "real" sports car.. I've always had "sporty" cars (Celica, Eclipse, etc) but this car blows them all away. I can't even tell you how much fun it is to drive and I've gotten more compliments on it from completely random people - even the Nissan dealership when I brought it in for its first oil change ("Wow, check you out with a sports car!"). My boyfriend gets to drive it once a week if I'm feeling generous, haha.

I found this forum because my tire pressure light just came on this morning, so I'm going to hang around to see what other info I can get. Thanks for having me!

Welcome to the forum! The Z looks best in gunmetal, IMO. LOVE IT.

Nice name.

I get comments and stares all the time. This car draws a lot of attention, and deservedly so.

Thanks everyone. Also, I just realized I wrote "I can't tell you how much fun it is to drive" when everyone on this forum has one and of course knows exactly how awesome it is... DURR!

ETA - I walked into the dealership fully expecting to purchase a black Z.. then saw this color and just loved it.

We understand. We all remember the first day in our new Z! At least I do.

Gotta agree on the gunmetal. Got one myself back in the early summer and loving it! Classy color that doesn't demand a lot of attention. Just looks good.

I went to look at a new "boat"...and the owner of the dealership was asking..whose new Porsche is parked out front...!!!! Thought my 2011 Silver Metallic with Sports Package......was a Porsche..... Guess I take that as a compliment....

That's a common comment for us Z owners.

And its Brilliant Silver, respect the color.

Nice choice BTW.
