Black or Red 370Z?

370ZBLACK09 · 11-30-2009, 12:26 PM

I am getting a 370Z soon and am wondering what color I should get. Black or Red? If I get black i will be doing a two-tone black and red interior and if I get red I will leave the interior alone. Also I will be changing the amber leds to blood red no matter what the exterior color is.
So what color do you think I should go with BLACK or RED? Yes I know black is very hard to maintain but that is not an issue with me, I am OCD about that type of thing.

i am a fan of black cars, but the 370 looks amazing in red... u can black out the fangs and good tint and you're pretty much set, wheels will be a plus, but red has me jaw dropped..

I had the very same dilemma. I am thinking Black with Persimmon.

I was looking at a red and a black Z. It came down to the better deal as I would have been happy with either. So, get what you want and either way you'll have a smile on your face!

def go black

SmoothZ · 11-30-2009, 10:06 PM

Black is not a color, so the poll is invalid.

370ZBLACK09 · 12-01-2009, 01:00 AM

Ha yeah I know I will be happy with either one. The thing is I like the black one because it shows more i think since you can actually see the red tailights and on a red on you cant they just kinda blend in, but on the other hand the red color is more amzing than i thought it would be so I am torn

m4a1mustang · 12-01-2009, 01:09 AM

Red is faster.

370ZBLACK09 · 12-01-2009, 01:55 AM

red looks faster to everyone including the cops

darkROAM_1 · 12-01-2009, 08:05 AM

As much as I hate the color red and the fact that I even have a black Z, I actually prefer the Red one in looks.

If they had the choice I woulda gone brown but that's me, I like brown. /shrug

Black shows more all right...shows more dirt and every goddamn scratch.

370ZBLACK09 · 12-01-2009, 12:32 PM

I clean my car a lot bc I'm OCD about it so dirt is not an issue with me, I have a black car now and it is never dirty and scratches are almost nonexistent

Both colors/shades are good to go. You should evaluate your practices for keeping the car clean. If you are a stickler for perfection, get black, because there is nothing like a clean black car(even the ugliest cars look good in black) , but remember it will take a little more work than the red to maintain it's appearance. The black is more classy.

If regular cleaning is not your thing, go with red, as it takes a little less work, besides red is sportier on a two seater car.

Either way, both are good choices. As for me, I have always gone with black vehicles, with the exception of my sunburst yellow pickup.
