Default Platinum Graphite, Monterey Blue & Illuminated Kick Plate Pics

Stopped at Autoway Nissan (Clearwater, FL) for an oil change today and snapped a few pics of the three 370Z's they had in the showroom. Pictures were taken with my crackberry so I apologize for the quality. I must admit I have been lukewarm on the car in pictures, but it really does look better in person!

Platinum Graphite


Monterey Blue


Illumniate Kick Plate

I'm guessing the rim on the blue car are the most basic available? I'm not feeling them at all.

Man, do you ever have it backwards. The split-tip 19" are from the sport pack. The five spoke 18" are the base. Note the spoiler on the Platinum Graphite one.

Me either. I much prefer the Sport package rims. The Sport package is looking like a good deal with the rims, tires and brakes alone.

Sweet. The split 5 spoke rims are the sport package, blue car is a base. Both of the cars we had here for the tour were sport package and had the split spoke rims on them.

I don't like the base rims all that much.

Correct. The PG Z also has the base 4 pot/2 pot Akebono brakes while the Blue Z has the upgraded sport brakes with smaller rotors and calipers.

Man, both of you are off. Check out Nissan's site to clear this up. The BASE model (blue and background plat graph) sport the 5 spoke 18" wheels and no aero (included as part of the sport pack). The up front plat graph has the split tip RAYS 19" wheels, spoilers and upgraded 14" rotor brakes.

Thanks for playing though.

I'm confused...why is the blue called Monterey Blue? That was the name of the Daytona Blue for Japan and Europe. :\

Is it true that Illuminated Kick Plates shave 1/100 seconds off your quarter mile time?

No, the LED illuminated kick plates improve your reaction time at night. It's a safety measure to prevent you from stumbling in and out of your car late at night.

Thats because the famous track "Laguna Seca" is located in a town called Monterey.
