When I called the dealer said that he belives they only have a red and black with the sport package left, so Ill have to see if they have anything else when i get there.

I would go with red because it's my favorite color. I bought yellow because when I got the brochure it has that two page spread of the yellow Z that says, "Want? Need? Same difference". That photo blew me away, and made me search hard for yellow. I would really like to get a good copy of that photo blown up and framed.

Getting pulled over has nothing to do with the color of your car. Are the cops in your state profiling drivers by the color of their cars? Is so, maybe you should sent an email to Sonia Sotomayor! In Connecticut, the police are required to attend car colored profiling sensitivity courses.

I think the color thing is a myth. Cops give chicken-**** tickets to everyone equally.

whoady4shoady 08-09-2009 07:27 PM

nogoodname 08-09-2009 07:30 PM

frost 08-09-2009 07:31 PM

Never heard anyone deliberate a color so hard. By tomorrow, there will be a white and a blue one there.

nogoodname 08-09-2009 07:34 PM

I forgot to add that the windows will be limoed out, and the taillights will be tinted on which ever one I buy right of the bat.

Neither

I would have to disagree with those who say color doesn't matter. I was pulled over so many times in my old red 1995 3000gt vr-4 it wasn't funny. My blue 2000 mustang gt, silver 2003 cobra and silver 2006 trailblazer ss not once in 9 years. Same driving style, same town, same cops. Was it the color or the fact it was a japanese sports car? Needless to say I have stayed away from red.

I've had a red vette, red trans am, red ssr, and others. I've gotten one speeding ticket, in a sunset orange vette.

Right, but those arent red japanese sportscars!

frost 08-09-2009 09:26 PM

The debate was color, if you want to debate what models of cars get more tickets, that's a whole different argument.

ZYUL8R 08-09-2009 09:39 PM

yeah go yellow!!! then you'll be as cool as me...lol

Yellow kicks but!! Its a "in your face, choke on my dust yellow" in person.

:iagree: I agree I have lived in the same town for 25 yrs. Not pulled over or one ticket until the red car. I guess what I'm saying is that my experience with red makes me shy away from it.

What ever color you choose you'll be in love. Variety is the spice of life. So just do it!!!!!!!! Then post pics.

The funny thing is that I loved black on every other car I looked at including the Evo, G37, camaro, and vette. Im hoping the lines will pop better on the black in person for the 370z cause it is the only color I have yet to see in person.

...and its totaly personal choice. Regardless even if you get the wrong colour you're gonna love your Z. Personally with a car like the Z there are so many curves that aren't in the profile of the car that get washed out with the black/white/silver cars. Something like the G that has a nice profile or silhouette looks fantastic in black. The G doesn't have a lot of accent lines. The 370Z has a great silhouette but it also has some fantastic lines that are not a major part of the sihouette - those are the ones I'm refering to gettting washed out. Like the accents in the hood and roof line and even the tubbed out rear end is not as noticeable with the black. Keep that in mind when you look at the black and the red side by side....

GET RED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


outdoor parking plus black, even with covers = swirltastic

you'll regret black for sure when it rains

Shunya 08-10-2009 11:32 AM

Red is not a good color to keep new as well as black but it is slightly easier to keep than black

ejrives 08-10-2009 11:41 AM

Get red. With Nissan's crappy clear coat, you'd be better off. My magnetic black paint already looks terrible in certain areas

Thank you FricFrac. Im leaving work shortly to go check them out in person.

is the paint really that bad? I keep hearing this even from a friend who works at a one of the dealerships.

yeah, it's really easy to impart scratches onto the clearcoat and it chips easily.
It's just a lot harder to see on the other colors other than black. If I would have known this now, would have got white.
