HEY, YOU'RE FORGETTING REDLINE!!! It's a sports car, it should STAND OUT!!! The redline is a beautiful color, and while it's not metallic, it's a pretty "deep" paint. Wanna see pictures?

LeMans and Brickyard are the two you won't see on the road very often......if you don't mind looking like others you might be good with SB. It's aggressive and mean. (all beautiful choices by the way)

I'm biased to Lemans because of how it reacts to various lighting situations. Gets TONS of compliments. Either way you are gonna be set. The Z could look good in guacamole green with brown interior.

It's not on your list but my DB is a great color. In my opinion it's the best blue on a car that I have seen. If I were buying again I might go with Lemans, it's a beautiful color too. But I've had white, red and silver (daily driver is a silver MDX) cars before so the blue is something different for me. I am sure you will love whatever color you decide on.

Hey guys, Thanks to everyone for all of the helpfull opinions, it seems like Superblack, and PPW are getting the most love. I've never owned black cars but judging by the responses its a love/hate relationship when it comes to keeping it clean.

ColeKatz- Thanks for those last 2 pics its amazing how different the color is with and without sunlight. Your Z looks great..

This is frustrating, but a good type of frustration atleast it comes attached to finally getting a Z...Decisions, Decisions

Anything but Lemans.
All i hear is negative and "arg thats ugly" from non-Lemans owners.

Black is awesome, but looks dirty.

Go with the one that you like the most, they ere all great colors.
you will turn heads no matter what color you choose. For me I think Lemans is the one, there is not a lot of them out there and the color is all together different from all the other colors and it`s very forgiving it seems to look good even when the car is needs a wash.

If you buy a superblack Z and have the entire car covered with a clearbra will it help it keep/look cleaner?

I picked the LeMans when I was debating over over Daytona blue and SilverSton. I have absolutely no regrets at all. The car looks fantastic in any light and I always get compliments on the color.

Since I own a Brickyard and you couldn't get that now even if you wanted to, I'll offer up my unbiased opinion...

I'd go with the Super Black with Orange leather. I had completely discounted how good this combo would look when I ordered mine. The orange seats really do look good in SB and on the Silverstone.

NismoKid, those are some nice pics. It's a shame you have that datestamp in a couple of them.

I used to have a pic of my Z as my desktop until I noticed some stupid red flag sticking out of the ground behind it (the landscapers in my development but it there for some reason). It drove me crazy and I've been too lazy to Photoshop it out. Now I have a pic of a GTR.

SB with Burnt Orange interior is an awesome combination, but If I was getting a Touring, I'd only go for PPW with Frost interior. If I could go back to when I ordered my Z on 1/2/03 ( ), I would've had a lot more trouble deciding between Brickyard and LeMans. I thought Brickyard was a nasty brown/purple, but when I saw it for the first time in the Florida sun, d@mn it was nice. If I ever look for a used Z in a few years to mod the hell out of it (I plan to keep my Z NA for the rest of its life), I'll definitely look for a BY Track Z, no doubts about it

Thanks DiRN! (notice how I didn't copy and paste your username, lol ).

EDIT: Frost, not Front

I didn't copy and paste either. For some reason when I'm talking to someone I bold their username and keep it black. I'm OCD like that.

My bad. About the dates showing up in the pictures, my brother said he could "crop" the pictures and have them taken out, whatever that means. I don't know anything about computers, in fact, I don't like them much

I looked at and collected dozens of photos of LeMans after I totalled my Silverstone. I was torn between PPW and LeMans. Have no regrets on the choice and I get lots of compliments. My buddy just bought a PPW, so atleast I get to see one of those now too.

Hope this helps with your decision.... you'll be happy either way but we all want you to be pleased with your decision.

I also agree with the above reccomendation.....If you go with SB....you HAVE to get the burnt orange seats..... it's a beautiful combo.

last one.
