Decision on Color

XwChriswX · 03-11-2011, 12:23 PM

I originally was looking to get a Blue Z based on the Datona Blue that was sooooo good looking on the 350's. Well the 370's didn't get that.

When I saw it up close it looked like a batch of robin's egg blue gone bad. So I wasn't happy. But I do see how well it looks with black mods. It helps make the blue less flashy and more subtle which I like. But I don't think I could ever see myself driving that light of a blue. I want something darker.

As for yellow, just... no. Leave that for school busses lol

Black is always amazing when done right and kept in the best shape. Now for those of us loving black cars, none of us expected to buy a car with such cheap paint. But that's not 'Black's fault. And if you see a black car that looks like crap, it's not the car's fault, it's not 'black's' fault, its a lazy owner lol.

Daytona blue...now that would be my first choice if it was available.. Such an awesome vibrant colour.

Silver is still popular, but even then, it makes no sense to offer 3 shades of grey at the same time.

white, black and any shade of the gray rainbow are boring... blue, red and yellow turn heads

40th's are still hot though

This.

If/When I can finally afford a Z, I will be getting a blue Z.

Just read an article that says of the 3 colors listed, black has the best resale value. But, go with the color you like. When the dealer found my Z, I wasn't too concerned with color. I have the blue and I like it a lot. Don't see many blue Z's around, so it kind of makes my Z unique.

ZeeingAround · 03-11-2011, 07:10 PM

Black. there is no other choice.

I'm the type of person that wants something that not very many people are going to be on the road with, so I went with the Monterey Blue. With all of the white, grey, silver and black cars on the road, that MB pops.

There are a handful of 370s in town and I'm the only one with a blue Z, and everyone knows it's me, I like it like that.

Well it is official! I am now the proud owner of a 09' Chicane Yellow 370 Sport!! Was offered an amazing deal on it and something about that Yellow was calling my name.
