Default About a 350Z (specs)

Would someone like to inform me on the different types of 350Zs there are and what there specs are?

What is the best model? the Touring? with the 6spd tran?
What are the engine specs on the car? SOHC, DOHC, etc?
What is their weight, 1/4 miles times, etc...

As suggested above, go to the Nissan web site & do some homework.

Enthusiast is most bang for buck.

Actually lately it seems like everyone wants Pikes Peak White. I know I'm getting one and there are a couple of other people lined up to get PPW as well.

Any allow me to translate for non-Z owners.....

DB,SB,SS,CS,RD and LS all mean Liquid Aluminum.....

So when they say SB id teh best it means Liquid Aluminum....

I Like SB a lot too...but some look darker and some have that coll electric bright blue.....but LA is the best cause it was the first limited color for the first upgraded model....and included in the $1100 was the right to say so...

I'll yield to that since you paid a premium for your limited color. But since they only produced 2404 BY's we owners of that color consider ours as rare. I'm not sure how many LA's were made but I'm sure it wasn't a huge number.

Bah... I just looked at the 2004 Annual DuPont Global Color Popularity Brochure... What's cool is that a Z was used to represent the Sports and Compact Cars category. Here are the popular colors for Sports and Compact Cars. According to DuPont, this category makes up 18.4% of all the cars out in the North American Market. Here's an excerpt:

In this category, where strong colors and color effects are often popular, red continues to climb in popularity, challenging silver. Black in the third position is nearly tied with blue in fourth. Green has shown a slight resurgence in popularity as yellow has strengthened its position as a top 10 color.

Rankings:
1. Silver 18%
2. Red 14%
3. Black 11%
4. Blue 11%
5. Light Brown 11%
6. White 16%
7. Medium/Dark Gray 10%
8. Green 5%
9. Yellow 2%
10. Others 2%



So according to the survey.... Chrome Silver *should* be the most popular Z of all the Zs out there. Here's what DuPont said about the following colors:

Silver: Elegant, loves futuristic looks, cool
White: Fastidious
Vibrant Red: Sexy, speedy, high-energy and dynamic
Deep Blue-Red: Some of the same qualities as red, but far less obvious about t
Light to Mid-Blue: Cool, calm, faithful, quiet
Dark Blue: Credible, confident, dependable
Taupe/Light Brown: Timeless, basic and simple tastes
Black: Empowered, not easily manipulated, loves elegance, appreciates classics
Neutral Gray: Sober, corporate, practical, pragmatic
Dark Green: Traditional, trustworthy, well-balanced
Bright Yellow-Green: Trendy, whimsical, lively
Yellow Gold: Intelligent, warm, loves comfort and will pay for it
Sunshine Yellow: Sunny disposition, joyful and young at heart
Deep Brown: Down-to-earth, no-nonsense
Orange: Fun loving, talkative, fickle and trendy
Deep Purple: Creative, individualistic, original


So... even though blue is officially in 4th place, we are still #1 in my book. Maybe for 2005 we'll be above black & red?

------------------------

However, Power Information Network, a division of J.D. Power and Associates already posted the following on top-10 colors of 2004 fourth- quarter sales about all cars sales for '05s:

Color % of sales
1. Silver 24.1%
2.Black 16.7%
3. Blue 12.7%
4. White 11.8%
5. Grey 10.5%
6. Red 10.3%
7. Green 5.7%
8. Beige 4.3%
9. Gold 2.6%
10 Brown .7%

Go DB! We're moving up!

Very small if you turn off traction control and use the right pedal.
