Different than a stock 05? It'll have a rear spoiler, Brembos, and 18" rims.

How can you tell if a Track is an 05? I don't think there are any visible clues.

Look for the higher redline on the tach.

The new Vin Diesel Edition track models shoot blue flames out of the exhaust.

Cloth seats, 2005 track rims, and a factory sticker that proves it :-)

Dual VTC bulges on the front of the motor is another clue.

The interior and the new rims are only for the 35th anniversary. Just look at the tach on the Track model.

The track model won't be on the lot. There still isn't any here yet.

the 35th anniversary first is only in three color.

Silver, Black and Yellow.

Second the fender Z emblems are a little larger that normal an
have a champaign color rim instead of a silver rim.
