this is gonna sound dumb, but is pwned the same as owned?
Owned was spelt incorrectly as pwned so many times it became a new thing. It means the same thing.

Oh and get a DB. I want my LS to be as rare as possible :kiss:

The DB looks dull IMO. It isn't as metallic as it should be. I can't take my eyes off of LeMans Sunset; it really POPS.

For me, DB was my 1st choice. I personally really dislike Lemans Sunset. Of the colors available for the 04 model year, Lemans Sunset was at the very bottom of my list. I'd put black as my 2nd to bottom choice only because it's so hard to keep clean (looking).

The LeMans Sunset really looks dull and ugly, i can't understand why it's even a choice. Get the Daytona Blue.

i originally wanted the lemans from seeing it in pics, but to get in a Z period, at the time i wanted one, i had to go for the db as it was available (i got #42). iwent back to the dealer a couple months later and saw the my db Z next to a lemans Z, and was quite happy i decided to get the blue. i have had tons of compliments on it and have had 2 friends now get the paint code and paint their street rods in the same color.

Lemans Sunset. I think the blue cars look cheaper. IMHO.

I was going to buy Leman Sunset but they said it would take 2 to 3 months to get it. If you can wait go for it, i'm still trying to make up my mind.

If you get the Le Mans Sunset, then buy the $10 promotional DVD from 2003, it'll look like you driving in the DVD!

The DVD I'm referring to is "The Run". It was available in Nissan showrooms back in 2003, but you can find it online now. I picked mine up a few months ago and it's well worth it (forgot the website). It was directed by John Bruno, 2-time Academy Award winner. It features an '03 Le Mans Sunset Z blasting through the cordoned-off streets of Prague at high speed, using 2 identical cars, 14 cameras, one take, multi-angles and even a helicopter angle.

It's awesome and a must-have for any 350Z enthusiast!

Two thoughts:
1) Consider that blue has a better resale in that it might be in higher demand if you ever sell her.
2) Better yet, what color are you passionate about? What makes you smile as you approach, then as you walk away, you turn around, look at her, and say DAAAAAMN!, it that beautiful or WHAT????

After reading your post, I downloaded the video and watched it. I was a little let down. The car sounded a little sick(and not in a good way sick). a lot of whiny noise, it was annoying. I didn't think it was worth the money they closed down the city for. Now if they would have closed down a Japanese mountain pass and make the Lemans go up hill first, then attack the downhill afterwards with some drifting, that would have rocked! But alas, they picked the Euro romantic path(which was by the way a cheesy ending with the reving at the girl.).

Sorry you didn't care for it. It's not Gone in 60 Seconds, it's a glorified commercial. The DVD has B-rolls, multi-angles and an interesting segment where they park the Z in different places in the city and watch people trip out on it (remember, this was before the Z first went on sale).

Everyone is amazed by my color almost as much as they are amazed that it's a 350z.

Be like everybody else and thier brother, get DB. As for resale being higher for DB, I don't think so. Every promotional video, poster, banner etc to launch the Z is all of the LS Z. I think that will be remembered for years to come.
