Default Z Shopping clarifications

Well, I'm in the process of selling my S2000, and I'm looking at the Z's. I've been trying to do my research but Im not clear on a couple things.

This is what I'd like in my Z, so I'm wondering which "model" you'd suggest:

6spd manual
LSD
HID's
Traction Control

Anything things you guys decided you really like and are glad you optioned for? This would be a weekend car, so no trips or daily driving(i.e. no NAV needed).

I'm thinking my choice's would be either Track or Enthusuiast.

Suggestions?

If money isn't that big of a factor, get the Track with the '05s having the 300 HP motor. Otherwise, you can get everything you want listed above in the Enthusiast model for thousands less.

I personally would go for the Enthusiast unless you really wanted the the 300hp motor in the new track models.

Definitely enthusiast unless you actually plan to take the car to the track, then I would get the track. If you plan on heavily modifying the car then I would definitely get the Enthusiast.

Its 13 hp and $6000 more. Now if you are going to heavily modify the car then you are going to replace the wheels, brakes, and increase the hp. With that $6000 you can accomplish quite a bit of that.
