that didn't answer the question. And that $10K will get you an exhaust.

What I was refering too is doing mods to my NISMO and making it faster than a stock GTR....But what makes the GTR so high maint? Y would you think it would cost 10K for an exhaust upgrade? Educate me my friend...

Yellow is still the best limited edition color! Should've brought back the orange for 2011 though.

Wow, I didn't realize that the mods were that freaking expensive. That is insane. Thanks for the info

laguna seca blue for the Nismo would be nice.

LinPark · 07-01-2010, 03:21 PM

You might as well include white and black in that line up since technically everything from white to black covers the entire "colorless" palette. So, assuming this new gunmetal replaces the dark cherry, that means you'll have 7 choices for exterior: 1 is red, 1 is blue, and the other 5 are some combination of white and black with sparkles.

Granted the Maxima has 5 white/black shades but at least it has 4 other colors to choose from. Come on Nissan, give the Z enthusiasts something to be happy about.

370Zapper · 07-01-2010, 04:30 PM

Quite the options if you don't want color.

billydsz · 07-01-2010, 04:38 PM

In 05 Nissan offered the 350 in Daytona Blue which is the best car color I've ever seen. Wish they would bring that one back.

yellowgold · 07-01-2010, 05:45 PM

is those colors are official colors or just rumors?

zmyride · 07-01-2010, 05:54 PM

How about this color?

rha600 · 07-01-2010, 06:05 PM

I am kind of glad they didn't come out with a cool new color since I'm hoping to pick up a left over 2010 in cherry at a good price. This keeps my decision process easy.

But yeah, they need to take a tip from Porsche and offer the kind of color selection they offer on the 911s.

I agree, Nissans love affair with Silvers/Grays started in 03 with the Max. They offered 4 different shades and have pretty much continued that trend here and there on the Z and Max since.

I wish they had kept Chicane Yellow which is fitting for a Sports car!

When I lived in japan from 2001 to 2004 most cars were whites blacks grays and silvers. Nissan's color offers may just be a cultural thing.
