My only decision was Redline Touring with Frost or Black interior. I had ordered the Frost without seeing it but found a Black available and took it. Saw the Frost at the auto show in DC and the Redline/black is better. Red has attitude which is what the Z is all about.

 

While I really like the redline, I chose the Chrome Silver. Chrome silver just does not show dirt. I own 2 other silver cars ( a Volvo and a GMC Yukon) and I've been very happy with both. I have owned red cars before and after 4-5 years the paint started to fade. I realize the Redline has clearcoat on it but I just don't trust red in the long run. My 1974 260Z was a cross between red and orange. It had very severe paint fade after 4 years. I kept it well polished but it didn't help.

Bottom line... To each his own.. I happen to like the Chrome Silver..

Well, I think you know what my choice would be....

 

But both colors are beautiful....I passed a chrome silver Z on the highway the other day and it made me think twice about the color....I love all of the Z colors...they are great.....Just make sure ya get what ya want.... :-)

 

While all the colors are gorgeous (except the white) I have to say go for the silver. I say this because I'm sort of sick of red. My 3000GT is red, my bike is red...having a red Z in the garage as well would have driven me bonkers.

I'm leaning towards blue. Guess I better decide since I'm going in this afternoon to order a touring with nav.

 

i dont know, seems like silver is way too common in car colors now a days. My past two cars were red and I always stand out since there aren't many red cars in my town.

 

RED RED RED

Changing your mind????

I think NOT


RED RED RED...you saw yourself in it....

 

Nope....not me. It's redline all the way now! This thread was started waaaaaay back in November!

 

OH.. must have missed the start date...

Ordering next week..

 

 

I spent a lot of time investigating colors like yourself. I went to the various lots in town "multiple times" at night like 11:00 p.m. and scoured the internet! I boiled it down to CS, DB, and SS. In the end when I had to make a decision ( I had to order a car within the window) I still was perplexed. In my mind there were too many CS, the DB just seemed to change color based on the light and did not have a homogeneous color ( the gas tank lid is a different hue) so I decided to go with SS which was my first choice to begin with. As it turned out, I didn't have to wait for my car. Five days after the order, the dealer found one from a nearby dealer that had just arrived that met my specs. With all the effort that I had put into the color selection, all the concern went away as I drove it home since the car is sooo awesome. I am glad that I picked SS since it makes me feel good (regardless of what anyone else says) and I think it will pass the test of time! However, any color that you choose for your Z will be a winner since there is no "ugly color" for this car!!!!

 

I did the same thing. All the colors look fabulous and I spent nearly a week widdling it down to blue and chrome silver. After finally seeing a blue I went with the gorgeous and classy chrome silver. I know it's kinda common...but it's still the one I like the best.

 

I actually ended up going with neither one of these colors. I had originally placed my order for a Redline, but changed my mind at the last minute and ordered a Silverstone

 

Congratulations! I'm sure you will be happy.
