Quick reference Guide:

Base: no controls on steering wheel

Enthusiest: no Bose stero & TDC

Performance: no Bose & VDC (Eliiminated from line in 2006)

Touring: Bose & heated seats (Manual has VDC; auto has TDC)

Track: Brembos

The easiest way is to look at the pedals. If they are cross drilled aluminum, the car has an LSD and HIDs. All models other than Base have LSDs. Leather and Bose is Touring only. Brembo brakes are track models. Leather and Brembos are GT models (only available 05 and 06). All cars 03 and 04 have 287hp. GTs and Track models are the only ones with the new motor (300hp rev-up) on 05. In 06, all 6MTs have new motor and autos have the 287 motor. All 06s have HIDs. 18" wheels on Performance model. 17" on Enthusiast models. All 06s have 18s (track and GT models have 18 front and 19 rear).

Yeah, there are a lot of losers on this site. They are God's gift to the internet with their witty comments on how to use the search button.

I must admit the 350Z is kinda confusing with the trim levels. A little research though and its easy to grasp.

For a full listing of even the most subtelest of differences, you can always check out Nissan's own homepage: www.nissanusa.com

Under the Z car heading, look at the "specs" tab and click "Display All".
