Default How can I tell the difference between Z models? (FAST)

I've been looking for a used Z for a while now and just found one... it looks good and all, but how can I tell what model it is for sure? The sticker says it has a LSD and traction control, but are there any markings on the car to verify it?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks... I'm a retard in a hurry. I didn't know what to specifically search for. Going to test drive a 2004 performance or touring (not sure) right now. I saw it but couldn't tell from the carfax or by sight.

Touring will have Bose stero & factory leather; performance will not.

Quick Way to Tell each Model;

Base does not have HID (Until 2006+) No TCS or VDC Button.

Enth has Cloth Seats, HID and has 17" wheels Standard, has TCS Button

Performance has 18" Wheels Standard, Only in Manual Tranny, Has VDC instead of TCS Button

Touring has Leather & Bose & VDC Button

Track has Brembo and Cloth Seats with VDC Button

Thanks!

And thanks to everyone else for all the quick responses. The car I saw was labeled kinda vaguely, so I wanted to make sure it was one of the higher models.
