Redline or Chrome Silver?
If you had to choose between the two, what would it be?
I thought I had my mind made up with the Redline, but after seeing some stunning photos, and one in person today, the Chrome Silver is rapidly gaining!

you decide..........
I voted CS because that's what I ordered. It really depends on what you are after - it's a personal thing. The redline will stick out more in the crowd; it's a louder color and a louder image. The CS is a little more reserved; it's in a different class.
I'd go with my first instinct because that's probably which one you'll like best over the years. You definitely can't lose with any color, though.
Good luck in your decision!

Don't get me wrong, I love the CS. In fact a few of my buddies in the local area have CS. But I absolutely LOVE the red. If I had to reorder, I would get the redline. I get plenty of attention in my Super Black, but the Red is absoultely stunning!! You can't go wrong with either, but the red is more attractive and attention getting IMHO and isn't as common as the CS.
Just my two pesos... (I'm sick of .02 and I'm in Texas, close to Mexico so I'll give 'em a shout out)

Pick a color, any color
I would pick red, how about you? Are you looking for a logical way to pick a color? Do you just want to see which color is more popular? What is the question behind the question?
I would like one of each please, and a Brickyard on the side.

my wife has been an automotive claims adjustor for State Farm Insurance for 20 years.
She tells me that red cars get in more accidents and attract more tickets.
the jury is still out as to why these stats hold true, but there are a few ideas.
one hypothesis is that those who pick red are more aggressive drivers.
the other hypothesis is that police notice it more (for obvious reasons) which yields more moving violations, and that the color can distract others around you, causing an increase in accidents
food for thought only. . .

Silverstone
If Redline is even an option for you, how could you possibly get the Silverstone which will likely be the most popular (and common) color available?
People who want to stand out or draw attention (more so than a 350Z already draws) will end up with Redline, LeMans Sunset, or Daytona Blue. Those who like less agressive colors will end up with Silverstone, Chrome Silver, Black, or White. I havent got an opinion yet on the Brickyard because I haven't seen it in person, and I'm told no photo does it justice.

make sure you research and account for the fact that red comes in all kinds. Look at all the reds on existing cars, and see which you like best. Then see if the the Z's reds suits you. The Z's red has lots of orange to it direct sunlight. This, IMO, makes the Z red UGLY!
Look at my avatar...that is acura red, has a purple tint, and is beautiful. The only true red I think is ferrari.

I truly think that all the colors are good looking, (except for brickyard, it looks purple). HOWEVER, at the top of my list is chrome silver, then black, then blue, then red. The only reason silver doesn't attract as much attention is because there are so many on the road. HOWEVER, if you placed all the colors side by side you'd notice the lines of the Z are best represented by the silver.
