2006z

Backstory: Since 2003 when I stumbled upon a redline 350z and got molested by a salesmen till I nearly bought it, I've wanted a Z. I've driven them, I've been back many times getting numbers but its just never happened. The most recent was a silverstone 2006, amazing car and I was completely ready to take it home, but still no dice. I always had my eye on LeMans as my color of choice, but for 2007 obviously thats no longer an option. I saw an 07 Solar Orange at the Atlanta car show this past month, and while I didnt like it nearly as much as LMS, I still havent decided if I like it enough to own it.
(Currently driving a 2005 Xterra SE)
Request: Solar Orange owners, I could really use some pictures of these beasts in the wild. I did a search, I've looked through some threads and I've seen some pics, but only a couple. I remember there used to be separate threads for colors a while ago, but I cant seem to find those anymore.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Pictures do not do this car justice. You have to see it in direct flourescent lighting or sunlight to appreciate it. Pics make it dull and boring, unless you have an awesome camera + lense + background lighting.

Would I own it? Probably not. But its a really nice color IMO.

I've seen 2 of these in person now and both times I've just went, ehhhhh. LeMans was so much better to me. My choices were down to MB or SMB... both are the sex. If some assclown ever decides to key my car, I'ma do it up in Brickyard though.

Just keep in mind, S.O. costs $500 extra.

The one-year colors were always extra. Brickyard, Liquid Aluminum, Ultra Yellow, Interlagos Fire, and now Solar Orange.

Some pics I posted a while back:

In the dark, or away from the sun the car takes on a pure orange look, the metal flake is not very visible. In fact the metal flake is only visible fairly close up. This gives the car a lighter appearance in the sun.

Did any of that make sense???

I knew Liquid Aluminum was $1000 extra, looked closely at yellow and did not notice it was extra.

To me, the main thing that throws it off is it doesnt match the GT breaks and leather seats. The Z's "official color" was lemans. The concept car was lemans, the breaks and seats was close to lemans in color. The car they used in "the run" was lemans. Now SO doesnt match the brakes and the seats. And the Z lost its "official color".

But SO is fun to look at though.
