Daytona Blue = more awesome

j/k, though I kinda wish I had gotten Sunset, but there wasn't a single picture of the Z in Sunset when I pre-ordered last month...

And I have 69 posts to my name.

I knew it was a crapshoot when i ordered the color in May, but the distinct copper/gold color was to unique to pass up.

I was stoked when Vandyz pics came out, my bet's paid off. I was really hoping that the color would resemble the concept car and still it hope it does.

Anyone really seen the color in person?

Just went out and got the Car Magazine. It'll have to do until I see one in person.

3rdpower, Samamish is certainly not too far.

Hey does anyone else realize that on the cover of the magazine, it says 300hp instead of 287hp? Are we not getting the same car as they are in Europe?

I saw one of the two concept Z's down in La Jolla, CA while it was on display last year. It was the Le Mans Sunset color.

It was the combination of that color and the aggressive look of the Z which sold me.

Lemme tell ya... pictures don't do that color (or car) justice.

Um yeah those pics are pretty good... but I think cause of the overhang the color is a little darker.

But more or less it has that "striking" appeal.

Nissan should retire both of those special colors after the first model year's production. If the two silvers won the lion's share of buyers as some reports implied, that move would keep Lemans and Daytona somewhat special.
