Default The Hardest Z to find

Is it true that PPW Track 350Z are very hard to find,and that not many of them are made.

they make them as demand requires, they are not a "limited" color or anything, it just isnt a popular color. theyd make every Z in white if thats what sold.

good in a way, and bad, your exclusive, but then again, your only exclusive because no one else wanted the color.

You can order any color and any version you want so nothing is hard to find.I personally have seen no Tracks yet.

Before I bought my Z last weekend I was scouring the online dealer inventory for about a month and a half. Of the 6 dealers in a 30 mile radius in my area, exactly one PPW Track appeared one dealer's inventory in the last week of March, and didn't move off the lot until this week.

I agree that PPW may not be the most popular color from a sales standpoint, but I think it looks terrific.

when i bought my Z there was a PPW Track sitting right next to it in the showroom. it was only a couple hundred more & i liked the Track rims/brembos a lot but the color really didn't look as good as the silverstone IMO.

i have yet to see a white Z on the road but, then again, i've only seen 2 on the road total (Redline & Chrome Silver).

not a lot of Z's in northeastern Ohio i guess.

I like all the Z colors. The PPW is tight, SB is sleak, SL in awesome... it's just that they aren't the color for me. I love my Brickyard and it's the color I can see myself driving. But as for rarity, today was the first time I saw another Brickyard and that one belonged to Iris. A few months ago I saw three PPW in less the 30 minutes. I see Silver everywhere. And see the other colors on and off throughout LA.

I'll defer to others opinion but I do believe the Brickyard is the least produced color.....and it is being discontinued.

Default Brickyard Performance

I wanted a Brickyard performance... my dealer and I searched ALL the dealers within a 300 mile radius (that's a LOT because it includes NY city as well as Philly and DC)

we found 3 Brickyard performace cars out there in inventory. 1 was already sold, and 2 were used as dealer demos. I wasn't going to wait for 3-4 months, so I went with my second choice... black

i waited 2mo until i could find my brickyard. i wanted an enthusiast model, but i ended up with the touring because we wanted the brickyard so badly! i love the touring btw..

ive never seen another brickyard in atlanta, though i see a bunch of reds and silvers. when we were searching the dealers, we found 3 other brickyards, and they all sold the same day they arrived at the dealership. the dealer i bought mine at now has a brickyard enthusiast that they got a couple of days after i bought my touring. oh well!

I think that all of the colors look sharp and I like the way nissan gave us this variety for personal choice. As for me it was the Lemans and I haven't seen many, Only saw 3 in Orlando.

Default Only seen one other Brickyard

I've only seen one other Brickyard (Touring/Frost) in NE Florida. It was at the dealership (Mike Shad Nissan Orange Park, FL).


I see a PPW every morning and a DB every afternoon.

Production wise I think Brickyard is the rarest color, but rolling the streets of NA, PPW would probably be the least comon color. You see in Japan White is the color of choice for most, almost like silver here. Look at most of the Japanese tuners, Mine's white, Top Secret white, ING's white, and tons more.

BTW I've only seen two other track cars besides mine up here in Van, DB track and PPW track.

I ordered mine in Oct and had to wait till the end of Feb to get her, but it was well worth it. So far I have the only Brick that my dealer has recieved and I hope it stays that way. I still get OMG what color is that? can I sit in your car ? on and on.

In the span of 2 days I saw 4 Z's on the road all CS. I still haven't seen a single SS on the road, but have seen every other color. The Brick is really nice, but I would have to throw white down as my least favorite color (if I can say that).
