I think sports cars and cars in general should be red.

My '91 Mitsu 3000 GT was red. Our '01 Acura CL-S is red, my pre-order '03 Z was redline (R.I.P.) and my '07 Z is redline.

Needless to say I like red cars. We're probably going to replace our CL-S with a Murano, but since it's my wife's she has said it won't be red. Too bad.

For me, the color choice/option was very important.

I turned down two different stealerships that had a 350Z with the package I was looking for (touring) but not in the Daytona Blue color - they had Chrome Silver and Silverstone.

I waited about 3 extra months to find the Z I wanted and it was worth it!

i think its a pretty big factor... went with the black, after looking at countless Z's and still not knowing if i was gonna get a Z or a porsche boxster. then i saw the color i wanted more then anything...black..and went with it...and i am so glad i did

Im definately a color buyer. I passed on so many good deals cause of color. PPW was very dissapointing to me. SOMETIMES I see a Z that makes me wish I would have gotten SS,


Then I turn around and another Z puts that thought to rest very quickly,


SB is the color for me. My driveway is gravel and yes it gets dirty when I leave home but you know what? The SB Z is the baddest car on the road dirty or not. And when you wash it after a few days or a week of having it dirty it looks better than you remember and its worth it everytime. I love my car!

I wanted the Siltstone Grey, but I ended up getting Silverstone. Other than those two colors I would've gotten Black, but would've painted the handle bars or had them powder coated gunmetal.

PPW , SS, or Black in that order were my prefs. Chose PPW in the end because it is easier to keep clean than black, heat isn't as bad as black, and just had a Silver Jeep GC before. PPW FTW!

I really wanted to get the Daytona Blue. But after test driving one I changed my mind. Had to get Super Black. The car outshines everyone elses.

I love the color of mine! But if I had a choice for a custom color I really want like a dark forest green color! Dont ask me why, I just really like forest green!

Speaking of Purple, saw the ugliest Purple SRT-8 Charger yesterday. Those paint schemes only look good on the classic muscles, not the modern day versions

I love my silver...absolutely love it. But I'm eventually getting it a nice super black.

i didn't want a Z in the first place to be honest.

i went to the Nissan dealer cause my wife wanted to trade her Explorer in for a Xterra or Pathfinder. i test drove the Z out of curiosity and fell in love. it just so happened to be black..........now that i have it and took time to compare it to other colors, i wouldn't have it any other way.

ps - wife still has the Explorer!

I believe color choice is very important to an owner. Imagine if you were driving your car and always wishing for a new color...not very good feeling right? I myself am in love with Daytona Blue My other favorites includes Ultra yellow, Super Black/Magnetic Black, and PPW of course.
