I'm not really particular about getting certain colors, just particular about NOT getting certain colors, mostly ones that will attract alot of attention and/or be difficult to resell. ie Yellow, gold, blue, red, although I do like the blue and red colors. I wish they made Brickyard in '06, I would have liked it, but I am happy with Silverstone.

Honestly...I held off my purchase of the car for 4 months until I could finally find an LMS.

I drove 50 miles just to see the Brickyard color in person.

Then bought my Brick from dealer 300 miles away and upgraded from Enthusiast to Performance just to get the color I wanted.

I keep cars for a long time so getting exactly what I want is very important.

I would have to agree Rat. I waited almost 5 months for mine. I love the Brickyard color. I also wanted black, but I think I got the best of both worlds. The color during the day is a sick black cherry and at night it almost looks black. I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm even moving to Alaska in December and I'm keeping it. I don't care that i can only drive it 3 or 4 months out of the year. Im sure I will be the only Brick in Anchorage, maybe the only Z...

i pre-ordered a brickyard back in 2002 took a chance because the pic in the catalog looked a little dull, had a 65 chevy almost the same color but without the pearl,not that i dont like the other colors on the z they all look great, but the brick stood out i was always ask if i had it painted it is a great color, my new Z a solor orange, i guess i just like to be a little different than the rest

The pics don't do it justice. The color looks different at different times of the day. It looks iridescent blue in most of the pics, but it looks best on cloudy days when it's a super light lavender tint. Looks awesome moving too...
Say anything about my rims and I'll shoot you in the face, lol...

For me, I love my ppw cuz I like the clean look. Plus it is a lot easier to keep a ppw clean than the darker colors. I love super black too, but its just too damn hard to keep it clean. I love my ppw with gold combo

I wouldn't have settled for a non-magnetic black Z.

I had picked the Silverstone the first time on the lot. I just like the classic color of the care. Not to flashy just classy looking. My second coice was black, classy color as well.

redline FTW!!!

I'm extremely happy I went with this color. It truly stands out whenever I park and gets people to look twice compared to my black bmw.

color for me is an important factor when I go to purchase a car as well as price and options that i deem important.

For the 350Z my color selection is black fallowed by white and possibly blue.

As some one else stated above colors of cars can vastly affect the re-sale value of a car. Safe colors are Black, White, Red. While silver has been nearly popular for over a decade, I would assume it to be a safe color in todays market.

Blue, Orange, yellow, green color cars are too subject to trendy styles mostly due to the various shades and tints that are popular at the time.
