But really, if you do a white Z correctly it can look just 'good' IMO. Black, no matter what, will look richer and more sporty. My opinion totally though...

However since the options are white or black, I would go with white.

Black is the best looking as well as the worst looking color, but odds are it will be dirty far more than clean. It is very difficult to keep a black car clean, especially with the shitty paint on Z's. So get Carbon Silver,

I'm the proud owner of an '04 Black Z, but if I had to do it all over again I would've chosen white for sure. Black is super sexy and sleek, but that's only 5 minutes after you washed n waxed. An hour later it's already lookin dirty. It shows imperfections too much. PPW with a CF lip kit owns me

I Have owned 4 black cars. Black is nice and very sexy when clean but hard to keep it that way.
your location and the weather you have might help you decide. Also might want to factor in if you clean the car yourself or take it through a drive through car wash or let any spit and wipe car wash man handle your car (worst mistake and just plain torture)

Though I am not sold on the PPW (no disrespect - just not me) i think a plain bright white looks nice.

my opinion is slightly bias though. I changed mine from silver to Ibis White. No regrets at all! Find myself washing the car right after I just washed it.

Forgot to mention I have owned 4 white cars as well.

... is there a good number of senior citizen drivers in your area? There's a huge retired populace down here and I've had many friends that got their parked cars hit by "older" drivers that can't see black vehicles well at night.

My coworker's G35 is black with blacked out headlights/tail-lights and really dark tint... smashed two weeks ago by a senior citizen.

black is sexy as hell though... ninja.

that's good, sorry if i seemed like a kill-joy... i'm a bit of a worrier when it comes to other drivers.... but yes, i agree with all the other statements;

white - you can clearly see the dirt and it's harder to get that sexy shine from waxing.

black - easily see scratches, swirl marks, etc. BEST shine i've ever seen after waxing.

good luck.
