by far Black is the most flattering color for the Z (hands down and everyone knows it), but a definitely labor of love to keep nice.
DB is awesome and shows the lines of the car almost as well as the Black.
White, it is just wrong, does nothing for the car.
Redline, looks nice and does an adequate job of showing off the car.
Silvers, both silvers are beautiful, but neither one can get the color right (slight shade difference) for the plastic parts of the car (bumpers). I have looked closely at both silvers and the paint simple doesn't match, not on one single silver car.
Orange (lava) is cool, actually my wife has the color on her car, it does look good on a Z.
Yellow is yellow, and I'll leave it at that.

I spent 8 months on failed orders, dealer trades, being ignored by dealers, and transportation to get my Dayton Blue Z. I would not have the car in any other color. They are all nice but this is the only one that keeps me staring.

I am thinking redline. But I also like black(but black gets dirty too fast, right?), silver(only with nice body kits), but mostly redline. What do you guys think?

I really hate to be the one that admits this but.... I kinda like the pink one... I wouldn't do it to my Z!! I guess I'm allowed to like it.. you know me being a chick and all!!

It takes all color pigments to make black, actually heavier paint. Slowest?

My two favorites are DB and PPW. I think the PPW and SB look the best with kits on. I would never buy a SB. Black is just too frustrating a color to keep up,
No Way does the blue look like a little boy's car.

I have never seen a Brickyard colored Z on the road. That color is awesome, but I probably wouldn't have gotten it because its too close to the color of my Tahoe.
Hands down, nothing looks as good as a black sports car, IMO, but I've been down that road so many times in the past few years, I really wanted a break and went with PPW. I drove an Alpine White 944 for 6 years and loved the fact that every blemish didn't show up unless you were 6 inches away.
Now if I can only find a good and reasonable ClearBra installer in Atlanta.

When I was looking at Tourings I had them trying to find me a Redline one. That was my first choice. 2nd was Orange but my girlfriend called it "hideous" so that was ruled out. 
I really liked the blue and had access to one, but I had an '03 World Rally Blue WRX that I sold for this car, so that was out of the question too. Black was also a top choice, and when I found the 35th sitting on the showroom floor and discovered it was the only one in the state, I snagged it. The black looks awesome, but does get dusty pretty quick. I've had black cars before, the secret is just to keep it waxed and rinse it off. Not as big of a deal as people make it out to be IMHO. White was out of the question because I just don't care for it, and the silvers are nice but understated. This is my weekend toy, so understated was not required. If it was a daily driver, I'd have dont a silver touring to "blend in" a bit more.
