I own a few toys now and have owned my share in the past.Quite a few of them black. I got my Super Black roadster last year and it looks great. I am not a fanatic about it. I go to many car shows, but I never show it because like I said I am not a fanatic. But, it is garaged and I wash it maybe once a month and usually wax it after each wash. It is not that much of a pain to keep clean but it does look terrific. My 300zx roadster is bright red and I have to admit that looks pretty darn good too. I like both colors equally as well. A lot of the guys in the Z club have the variations of silver and they are easier to keep looking clean. But I would not trade Super Black for silver.
Get the Black.

Super Black is the way to go; it is an 'eye catcher' in the gleaming sun. When the weather is 'frightful', that snow, salt, etc. is the ugliest mess you've ever seen. However, just keep it clean and you won't be dissapointed. Black is just 'sexy' no matter what angle.
It all comes down to preferences. I bought white for a reason - it looks cleaner longer between washes. Very dark colors will be much, much more prone show dirt, scratches, waxing swirl lines, dents, and chips.
Let me ask one question - how often do you want your current car? Let us know what you decide.

My previous car was black. When it was clean NOTHING looked better. But after about 4 years the swirl marks were killing me. Especially in the bright sunlight it looked like someone took a brillo pad to the finish. I ended up having to have it buffed VERY often just to keep it looking good. After that I won't buy another black car.
i have both a silver and a black Z.. true the silver is easier to keep clean... but nothing can match the mirror shine that the black has.. i know its a bitch to keep up but i figure 3very 4 to 5 months i can clean polish and wax it to keep it from getting those nasty looking swirl marks .. plus i had the dealer coat my car with that magna shield.. helps keep the dirt from sticking to the finish of my car...
