I liked the Daytona Blue also.It was third on my list.

1)Brickyard2)LaMans Sunset3)Daytona Blue4)Black

I went with an 04 and the Brickyard was only an 03 color.So I got the LS(orange)

The car is lots of fun and much faster then I thought it was going to be.I am really happy with its performance.

That light is a shift light.The 350z has a gauge that does all sorts of things (outside temp/mph/DTE/avg mph/how long you have been driving/stopwatch/shift light) one of which is the shift light, which you can change to whatever you want.

I like the door handels and lights.I think that they flow well with the overall car design.The door handels/wheels/Z logo/rear strut bar/ all have 3 small squares in them which also flows well.

Now all we need to see is that MPH gauge up as far as the tach :D

Nice pics. I got mine up to an indicated 140 at VIR. I think she had more left in her, but I ran out of track. I also think you got your shift light set too low (snicker).

I'm kinda surprised no one seems to like the color redline. I like redline best, followed closely by your color, jEzTeR, followed by that nice nuclear-waste blue. The blue really grabs you.

Regards.

I went from a 4Krpm shift light to a 6Krpm for now.I'll most likely change it to 6.5 in the next few hundred miles.

I think the RED looks good.I had a red car once and liked it a bunch.When I sold it I told myself that I would never own another red car again.Mostly due to getting tickets all the time.I guess the LaMans Sunset is just as much an attention grabber as red though.

:confused:

Can't beat blue. Those cars look a lot better (to me) in person. Same with the convertibles, crap online or in photos, sweet (but not as sweet as the coupe) in real-time!

I clicked on this link thinking it was like a drink or something, but now I finally got it! Hehe.

Nice cars, Id give my left nut for either of them. Mabey not good 'ole lefty, but like a kidney, you don't need 2 do you? Well, in any case, both kick major ***, and they look good together.

I'm a sucker for a black car, but I think the Sunset looks sharp. Pictures do that car no justice. It looks even better in real life, i agree nametakennow.

140?! I've gotten my J30 that high, bring it on! :D

How stable did your J feel at 140?

It's actually quite smooth going up to about 120, and once you start to climb further from that it still remains very stable. I never felt scared and needed to back off the throttle.
