i might be getting a 05' Z...its Ultra Yellow. anyone in here have a ultra yellow Z?? just curious to see if this is a rare color to have..please input ur notes on a Ultra yellow Z so i might change my mind b4 buying it

 

Color is a personal preference. You shouldn't worry if other people like it or not and make up your mind based on that, what matters is if YOU like it.

 

yellow does look better in person. not my preference though becasue it reminds me too much of a taxi or school bus, no offense

 

When I was first shopping for a 350Z, my first choice color was PPW (White). However, the only Enthusiast model that the dealer had at that time was an 05 Entusiast Ultra Yellow. My color preference in order was:

1. White
2. Le Mans (Orange)
2. Black
3. Silver/CS (either)
4. Daytona Blue

Red, Brick, and Yellow were out of the question in buying. I was never fond of Yellow or Red, just way toooooo flashy for my taste.

To make a buying story short, I ended up with an Ultra Yellow with a nice discount (poor car had 76 miles already and no buyers, probably raced like hell, but it sured dynos fairly high for a stock car). I obviously knew the dealer, didn't want to keep this one around and negotiations were rather uncontested in most parts.

The first day, I was pretty wishy washy in owning a "Yellow" sports car. In some ways, I felt even with the discount, I still preferred white. Most of my time was spent driving the Z the first day, so I didn't get alot of time to gwak at what I bought. After spending time to wash the Z, I finally realized that the Ultra Yellow color did have some kinda nice glittery shine (when looked at very closely). At night, the car does kinda stands out a little more too.

The amount of attention you get with this color is incredible. It feels like everyone is staring at you and chances are you will see someone eyeing you. However, you get the bad part of ricers thinking your the 35th aniversary Z (unless you bought the 35th aniversary), and cops eyeing you if your speeding. In addition to police, due to the color, I would probably keep mods pretty light for the time being since the color stands out ALOT.

It took me about a good 2 weeks to finally get confortable with the color and I pretty much accepted being a yellow attention getter. On Z events, you'll most likely be sticking out like a sore thumb (you won't have trouble finding your car). In addition, my car dynoed 242 WHP 235 WTQ (1,500 miles - Stock) not SAE corrected at ~55 F and Humidty off the charts (it was a rainy day), no dyno fan was used. The higher than normal dyno numbers made it sweet owning a yellow Z. (Of course, I plan to do some more dynoing to confirm the numbers). NO, the color doesn't mean your car dyno higher btw.

A few things bother me about the yellow though, the color kinda makes the rims look cheesy (except for the 35th anivery). If you want an OEM or Nismo spoiler, you'll have to wait till Nissan releases the product code . You will need to invest in a clear bra, the paint is too special to chip .

If your a person starving for attention (and I do mean you gotta love attention and accept the other unfavorable attention), than the Ultra Yellow is for you. If you don't like attention, time to look at some other color that best suits your personality/preference. As of date, I have seen another Ultra Yellow pass me, but I has in my beater.

 

yep, I definitely get LOTS of looks in my yellow out on the streets as well. I'm a big fan of yellow though. In the sun the metal flake glimmers through and it's gorgeous. The yellow is a special order color though so should be pretty uncommon. I've never seen another one on the road yet and I haven't seen another one at any of the 2 local dealer lots either.

 

I love my Yellow -- and it is very rare (less than 5% of all 2005s will be Yellow).

FLZ_Boy got lucky with his Yellow. Many dealers are asking for mark-up w/ yellow. It's in very short supply versus demand.

 

Whew...thanks guys/girls for informing me about ur Yellow Z.. well peace and have fun with ur Z..im already having fun with mine..even though i dont have it yet but i do go to the dealership to even SIT on it... lol

 

The yellow is really nice. I just have to have black.

 

How well does the Yellow hide dirt? I've got a CS Z now, and it looks clean from a distance even when not washed for a bit.

Blue gets more looks then yellow :P

dirt shows really easy which kinda bites....especially for a clean freak like me. It's just about like having a white car in that regard.

 

I haven't seen the Z in a color I didn't like.

 

I got an Ultra yello Z... oh well, it does stand out a lot.... it really looks better in person..... and uy has that special paint .... that glettering thing.... kinda cool.... My first choice was Daytona Blue... and I ended up w/ ultra yello...heehhehehehe... can't have everything u know.......

 

That's what I have ordered, an Ultra Yellow 35th. If it ever gets here. The order was reset and delivery moved to the first of march.
