Let me ask you something how many silver and black Z do you see now how many redlines do you see?............Exactly REDLINE is just plain hot and red doesnt affect your insurance and I've actually get alot of compliments from cops at lights. REDLINE is whats sports cars are supposed to be, but I really wouldn't mind if you didn't get it the less the better.

I love the color yellow, but I never had it on a car before. It seems like it would get ALOT of attention, too much even. Probably the most expensive for insurance. This color also has the highest accident percentage for automobiles believe it or not.

Red is said to be the safest color. Red is not my fav though.

Silverstone would be my choice in the Z, but seems like alot of people have the Silver and Gray colors.

The orange does not appeal to me.

Blue reminds me of WRX's and Civic Si's. Just a personal thing

Some the questions you are asking have nothing specifically to do with the Z. They are applicable to every single car in existance. At present, there is no extra charge for any specific color. Daytona Blue, Yellow, and Lemans Sunset are definitely the most dramatic and are definitely the biggest head turners, so a big part of it depends on whether you want to avoid attention or draw it. Silver and Silverstone are stealth...can easily go unnoticed. I think red, black are intermediate in this regard. White is unique. Stands out in bright sun, stealth when overcast.

this is a lesson why you should never, ever, let a welder smoke crack at a Nissan Dealer. I really feel sorry for the guy who got the front of the Murano and the back of the Z...

Yeah, but the same car would draw more attention in Blue, Yellow or Orange. The kit has a lot to do with the attention factor, here. I still think that while red is certainly not a stealth color, people are used to seeing red cars more than the DB, LSO, or yellow.

Red is the best color, it's the only color that looks like its moving while the car is standing still, and it's attention grabbing, like a sports car should be. I love black too, it has this classiness that the other colors lack.

IMO, black and blue are the shiniest. Yellow costs 500$ more than the others, and red has the highest insurance.

But I still say silverstone is the best. classy
