Silver or Red 370z ? (Help!)

KakimotoRift · 11-28-2009, 11:54 PM

I am getting a 370z but I can't make up my decision of which color of the two colors Silver and Red to money on.

Red or Silver ?

NewlyIMPORTed · 11-28-2009, 11:57 PM

i was stuck on the two and i ended up going with silver. the paint on the Z's is very soft and silver seems to be the best at hiding defects I love silver and it looks amazing all the time no matter what weather

Silver would be the easiest to take care of.

KakimotoRift · 11-29-2009, 12:45 AM

Thanks for the replies.

I don't mind about maintenance. What I can't make up my decision is the look of the car and that is the problem.....

Well the Silver has a metallic flake in it, so I think it does a better job of showing the lines of the car. Solid Red has a tendency to flatten the car out a little bit in certain lights.

Silver is one of the most popular colors, if not the most popular, whereas red is one of the least common. Silver is more relaxed... you won't stand out in a crowd based on color alone, which can be a good or bad thing. With the red you will stand out everywhere you go, which can be good or bad.

Silver is a very classy color... red is more aggressive and... raunchy. In red this thing gets a ton of attention so if you go that route... be prepared.

Red is also a PITA to keep looking good. Not as bad as black but still tough.

Not the best pics... but here are all of the colors, sans white, in one group.

KakimotoRift · 11-29-2009, 01:21 AM

wow! thank you for the pictures.

KakimotoRift · 11-29-2009, 03:18 AM

Ok, I've decided. I am going for Red.

KakimotoRift · 11-29-2009, 03:23 AM

No, wait....

Red for the track Silver for the street. I had a red car, got pulled over all the time. Red is the perfect color for a sports car, it just stands out too much. Probably didn't help its a hard decision, good luck.

I love my red Z!

AK370Z · 11-29-2009, 05:29 AM

Go with RED! I am a big silver fan too but between silver and red, I'd go red.

Why is everyone constantly staring at my silver Z then?

LOL some guy in an AMG Benz actually stopped in the middle of an intersection yesterday to stare at me while I was stopped at a red light.

I must admit tought, they don't call it "Arrest Me red" for nothing.
