I am getting a 370z soon. I am stuck between two colors (Gun Metal, White), which one? Why? Also, I love stick shift cars but the automatic seems amusing because of the paddle shift system. What would you prefer, why?

Thank You for your time!

- Get whichever one YOU like more. I've got some pictures of my gun metal Z in my profile if you wanna check it out.
- I've never driven a paddle shift car, but i like the good ole' stick. Just feels more aggressive I guess.

I've driven both... the manual is more engaging... the auto is more aggressive.

I love the white, but the gun metal is the next nicest color IMHO, and much easier to keep clean. As for auto versus 6 speed, I would never buy a vehicle like this in an automatic.

White is the byproduct of ALL colors being combined. Black is the lack or absence of color
