Been tryin' to find some good pictues of an Ultra Yellow Z, but there isn't much other than magazine and manufacture ones. Is yellow just not a popular color amoung Z owners? Or does it tell otehr ppl that you're kinda "different" for buying a yellow car. I know I'd get a yellow one if it was a Ferrari lol.

lol.. it`s completely preferential with yellow. For most people who don`t care about what color the car is, they wont care and go for silver/white/black. But for the most part, people who get red/blue/orange/yellow are the people who prefer those color cars.

Another thing is that yellow just came out for the 05 models, so it might take some time to see a bunch on the road, not to mention it costs $500 MORE than any other color to get a yellow Z

1. Search should yield some people with pics of the UY paint.
2. 2% of the Z population should be yellow.
3. I think you need to have a preference to drive a yellow car.
4. Sometimes people drive a yellow car, because their wasn't any other color available for a paticular model (this was my situation) at the time of purchase (at least I got a nice discount).

I would have had a yellow Enthusiast if it was available. I think Sunset is still good!

z=guy's car. yellow=not guy's color, imo, but to each his own.

I'm personally not too fond of the yellow they used. It's got a weird sort of... creaminess to it.

I still say yellow looks good on boxy cars, and red looks good on round cars.

Ya, i've been looking on Nissan's site to filter out all the available 6sp ethusiasts and I've only come up w/ 2 yellows and 1 black w/in a 75 mile radius! I really hope there isn't only 3 of those cars left in the Bay Area, that seems pathetic, lol. Maybe Nissan just doesn't update their dealers' inventories very much, lol.

Is the yellow on this car a Ferrari yellow? It seems that way on pictures since i haven't seen one in person. If u want creamy yellow, try WRX, it's nasty lookin'. But if the Z looks like that, i'll pass on yellow lol. I think White is for sensitive guys, lol.

I guess pictures don't really do it justice. I'm hoping to see more Zs tomorrow in person when i go check'em out. Thanks for ur responses, been very helpful.

The resaon i asked is because I'm in a dileama of choosing a color.

Black = I already have one, looks like $hit when dirty, but prettiest when clear imo. And classy.

White = Too sissy for me

Silver/Stonesilver = Too blah. And makes me feel 35

Red = Maybe...no contrast between headlights and car color :/

Blue = Damn it, my cousin has the same color on his Mazda 6, i don't wanna look bad lol. But i do love this color. ruined...

Yellow = Maybe (isn't it the same yellow as the s2000?)

LeMans = It looks like bird poop in certain light, and a bit too bling for me.

No offense intended, just my opinion Guess i'll need to see more pictures first lol.

The paint job is beautiful on the yellow Z. It has a gold metallic flake in it.

The yellow paint is special and looks great. Like most people I got something else ... I figured a yellow car would attack too much attention.

Zcarboy

I like the UY on the Z. I would have gotten it too if it was around at the time I got my 2004 DB Z. Plus I was just returning a 2001 lease yellow Mustang GT so I kind of wanted a different color car.

I think it looks great, especially in the sun. It was either a PPW or the yellow, whichever I could get cheaper. They both had the same options.

The yellow paint looks great in the sun, but it takes a unique person to drive a yellow car. The salesman gently tried to get me to pull the trigger on an Ultra Yellow roadster, but I just couldn't see myself in it.

Mystery Guest

Blue IMHO looks the best. Red being my least favorite, reminds me of a Ronald McDonald shoe..haha

As opposed to people who got silver, white, or black, eh? They don't/can't prefer that color? They preferred to get red or yellow, but ended up getting silver?
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if people actually think before they type.

I personally am not too fond of the color. Its OK, but I think it could be better. As for comparing it to the ultra exotics paints, I compare it to lambo yellow, and no its not really the same. Its a bit darker/more pastely pale imho. But I havent seen one up close, only ones coming the opposite way in traffic, so I may not have the best perspective. I think it needs to be brighter, a more neon-ish tint to it. Maybe even a slight bright orange undercoat to give it depth.

The Z screams "look at me." Yellow screams "look at me!"

Imagine the same bright yellow as the SpecV or Xterra, then add gold metallic flake. The color stands out, and does even more so when the sun is out.

I liked James Chen's Axis yellow Z car when there were no other yellow Zs. I think a lot of people thought it was really nice because it was unique. And, I bet someone over at Nissan thought, wow, a lot of people dig the yellow. Hence we have yellow.

Seeing the yellow that's come out, I don't feel it at all. The fact it's one of a few colors available for the 35th Anniversary Edition makes it a little quirky too. But, I'm sure there are people out there that really dig the color and it is nice that there are options. Me, I like the metalic paint jobs and think they never should have cancelled Brickyard.

Don`t be so arrogant, it`s ugly. That was all in MY opinion, not yours.

Even if I wanted to "defend" myself toward your unneccesary comment, I`d simply say that on the road [where I live anyway], I see about 75% silver/white/black in ALL cars. Those are the most common colors, it`s a FACT. So someone who doesn`t care about what color they get will MOST LIKELY [imo again] get the more subtle color, rather than colors that stand out ie. RED, BLUE, YELLOW.
Plus with red blue and yellow you`re just asking to get a ticket.
