I could afford the payment so the next thing I knew, I was driving away in the Z. Nissan is running a special now on Z leases, so I'm getting a better price. I asked them if I could just renegotiate my lease and save everyone the trouble and they said no. But I had to haggle like hell to get them down to where it was worth it to me to switch cars.

I've looked at pics of the red on this forum and it does look nice, and I agree, I have a gun metallic car, so I should switch it up with another color. So I'm going with the red (parking lot accident magnet), and if I don't like it, in three years I can get a different one.

Thanks everyone who weighed in, it really did help me decide!

ETA - it's the solid red. I saw the magma red and it looked burnt orangish to me.
I love my red Z. (My plate reads "REDZ4ME). But I'm from the old school---sports cars are meant to be red! Incidentally, I'm careful where and near whom I park, etc. and haven't had any problems of any kind. My car still looks showroom new.

Owned a Gun Metallic myself and quite loved the color. It's one of the best shades of grey I've seen and has a nice metallic shine in the sun.

Solid red is the only color of a 2013 that I would get.

I'd say red. The only grey I like on the Z is the 40th edition grey

You can't go wrong with either color. I ended up getting the gun metallic as my wife preferred it.

Solid red nets you an additional +5 HP. Hottest color for the Z IMO, especially with Nismo wheels and a decent drop.

I love my solid red, always get complements on the color!
I was also debating between these 2 colors, but I am glad I got red

Here are the new wheels.. I do love the red! I'm pretty sure this color can be seen from outer space.



The gun metallic Z when I first got it:



And the Z "grounded" due to snow.. haha. Just kidding, I probably would have been fine on the road, but it was Saturday anyway.
