Question Le Mans Sunset Z?

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Le Mans 350Z! I was wondering if there is anyone out there with a pic of either there own or one they photographed in person. I'm sure the colors are different from the press photos. Hopefully the color is more orange than the browinsh gold it appears to be in some of nissan's pics. Plus i want to know just how many Le Mans Z's were produced so far so if anyone owns one, pic or not, please respond to this thread. Thanx.

Actually I saw one on the freeway 2 days ago and the color is more concentrated and darker than the press photos.

Saw the car in person finally yesterday. It is definitely very unigue. A 350 Z will turn heads but a Lemans 350Z will give them all whiplash!!!! I had some doubts before but when I saw it in person I could not stop drooling. It will definitedly stand out. It is a color that is hard to describe. The Nissannews pics are very close to the actual color but it is definitely better looking in person. I especially love the rear end. You can see the curves and lines of the car if you look at it at a slight angle from the front. I have never seen a car so hot at even double it's price range. I am dying to get my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am really suffering here!!!!!

picked up my lemans fri. and let me tell you it is fantastic. In afternoon sunlight no overcast the color is a beautiful radiant copper orange just like a gorgous sunset not dark but more orange. it is awesome. The color does though look copper a lite to med. copper in the morning or in heavy shade. What is so unique is it changes color often with the light,but is definetley litter than copper in most lighting aspects. It is a head turner and you will not be dissapointed.

A photo from about a month ago but a good one.

Brickyard and LeMans Sunset are the two colors most difficult to photograph. Very few people expose for the car and thus make the colors look dark and unappealing. If photoshopped lighter the color balance is altered and/or depth of color lost. Grey, white, black and blue photograph normally. The highlights in the Brickyard and Sunset are difficult to capture as they are presented in reality. Few who have seen the colors in person seem to be disappointed.

Great pic Jmanz & bayarea sunset!! Thanks
The pic by bayarea looks a little lighter & golder than the other ones. I'm hoping that it is more of that lighter gold color.
