i think the color is kind of....well crappy

(dont hate cause mine's gold either, i dont necessarily like the color of my car too much either)

but why would they make way more greens than any other color?? BTW were talking S14 here

When I was looking for my 240 a while ago, I only saw one red one on autotrader. I live in Ca, and it was in AZ, and I would have went there and bought it, but it was automatic. 240's look real sweet in red don't they?

nope, its too expensive and the zenki grows on you after a while.

Also, I'm not a big fan of 240s (or any cars) in red... I don't mind the greem, though there are a ton of them (my roomate actually just bought a green 95 s14 cause he liked my car. I like my white, though blue would be my first choice... followed by black... then white :)

I like that Greenish/Silverish color on 97-98 240's. I think it looks really cool.

Green was the "it" color in the mid 90's in the northeast. FYI, when the 240sx was first introduced in '89. All of it's ads/brochures featured it in "hot red". I liked it and bought a red one. I think the 240 looks dang sexy in red, as long as you keep it clean/waxed.

Mine is green and black, Which is the phatest color combo available for the 240sx. You cant touch this, and when my hydros come in, it will be super fly.

are the green u guys talking about "blue emerald"? thats what i have and at first i thought it was a ok color but now i really like it. same thing with the zenki front end. when i first bought it i thought the front end was pretty bad looking, now i love it! i find it so much more aggressive with a factory front lip spoiler too, which i sanded, painted, and installed myself.

i never noticed that untill you pointed it out, and my friend gary has a SWEET dark green 240, i dont really care about the colors of cars, its all about how they run and feel. By the way, his car is runnin low 13's, and we are way up in colorado, at sea level might drop a half sec or more.
