silverstone all the way. You can get dark rims and it'll look hot.

I'd take the Daytona ... makes the car look bigger than the other two

That is a very tough choice. Those are my 2 favorite Z colors too. I'd prolly go with blue, because i have a silver car now, and that bright blue is not as common as silver or gray.

Even tho i have that blue on my CL and i think its a very sporty color, i'd go with the silver.

That blue is getting wayyy too common.

Dr. Cold's is darker than Zerodays? If so, take the darker, or silver but I like that darker silver, looks badass.

jesel- LOL..... yeah, in a few weeks hopefully the Z will be mine. btw, another good point about the silverstone is that I think it will be easier to sell down the road then the daytona blue......

Sounds like you like the silverstone, so go get it. Nice car btw. The handles dont stick out as much on silver either. You should think about painting them body color anyways. Isnt that what they doin for the next year model.

Have you seen the black??? AWESOME!!!

Of your two choices though (both nice), I would say silver... There is just something about that car in silver that is extra hot.... And it is easier to take care of!!!

I voted for blue. But if you follow the hotrodders words of advice:

2. Own at least one black car in your lifetime.

I like the Silver better. I have my Z in Chrome Silver, but my friend got his in Silverstone which I think I like better. Silver is SO easy to maintain. It always looks clean

Silver = gets lost in the crowd
Silverstone = nuh-uh .. doesn't exentuate the car's lines enough

I agree w/ people about the blue... a guy in a parking lot i use frequently just bought a blue one (still has the yellow licence tags) and it just .. well, it just stops me in my tracks every time..


I've been reading about how the 350Z's suspension is actually REALLY tight and many people complain about getting "seasick" after riding in it on average uneven pavement in the 'burbs .. and sometimes the back end will hop...

The vp of Nissan sales commented on this (see Chi Tribune, sunda edition .. transportation section) and stated that to change the stiffness of the car would 1) alter it's performance abilities .. and they were not going to do that ...

Reason #5,678 why the M3 is the best balanced car all-around .. (but the Z is still an awesome car that I would LOVE to buy)

No doubt Daytona Blue is hot...... but I question how hot it will be in a few years......(i.e. turqoise) and also, would it affect resale? I can see silverstone as a safer color down the road..........

Silver is one of the "in" colors right now (sorta like green was several years ago).

Here are the best selling automotive colors. [1]

1) Silver/gray
2) White
3) Black
4) Blue

I've read somewhere (acura style magazine) that blue is going to be the next "big" color in the USA. Blue is more popular in Europe (see link below).

RED Oh, that wasn't one of the options. I voted Silver. I saw Hammers new Silver Track model in person and it looks awesome.
