Enthusiast is best bang for buck. Lots of added goodies for not many $$$.

Go to Nissan site to see features for each model.

lol @ all these base owners justifying their purchase by saying there is a weight advantage. seriously, lol @ you.

its what, 50 pounds of a difference? 99.9% of people wouldn't even notice the difference between the weight of a base and a higher model, and even if they did, performance wise, it wouldn't make **** for difference.

stop watching fast and furious, and go learn how to drive.

I went with the Enthusiast. I like my cc too much, and the stock vlsd appealed to me also. Now that I got used to the garage door opener on my mirror, I don't think I could go without it. Not to mention all this was only $1000 more than the base. Good deal if you ask me.

i got a base model. I'm perfectly happy. The only feature i'd be willing to pay money for is the Brembo's. But to get those you have to pay waaaay too much more.

Uh, what? EVERY POUND MAKES A DIFFERENCE. If you're buying the car to mod, what's the point of paying extra for all that other crap? Half of it doesn't need to be in a sports car anyways. I had an '03 Base and never had a problem driving in snow/rain. You need to learn to drive if you need TCS/VDC, not the other way around.

What model do you drive? - EDIT - N/M, you paid way too much to get Brembos.

I got a 07 base, but later regretted not getting the enth because of the lsd, steering wheel audio control, cruise control, auto dimm mirror (why does no one makes side auto dimm rear view mirror?), Home link transceiver (great feature), aluminum pedal (easier toe heel), traction control, and ONLY 7LB HEAVIER on the '07 model. Those options sounds more than putting custom ones. If you are looking at 07 model, get the enth, unless that's only going to be your track car.

What the hell did you do to my pretty chart!

I'd get the Base since the stock vlsd sucks, don't need CC (I'm not THAT lazy...), I'd put different pedals anyways (I know of a DOPE set) etc. Don't really listen to the radio much, so don't need the controls, auto dim mirror not really needed etc. IF I ever got a model other than Base it would be the Enthusiast though.

I paid 20k for a track model with navi and 27k miles. Every pound counts when you are at the top of the top in competition (like F1), but when you are just an average joe like yourself, or any other base owner, 50 pounds will not make a difference.

You know, why don't you go put some TypeR stickers on your car, I hear it adds horsepower.

Congrats, you paid $20k. And you got nav (like that's important enough to post...)... whooptie-doo.

I shed as much weight as I can from my cars. So I say again... every pound counts. Especially when you ad it up and you're past 250lbs.

So I guess all base owners are now average joes. Whatever.

fr0ng

Your logic is retarded. I'm not even going to try to convince you...it would be a complete waste of my time.
Enjoy those Type R stickers.

oh and the navi sucks get an aftermarket unit, much better

bboypuertoroc

iTrader: (4)

No, your logic is retarded. Type-R stickers don't add horsepower at all.

You should have no reason to convince me of anything. I auto-x. Tell me how shedding 250lbs isn't gonna change the way the car feels/performs while auto-xing.

Posting that you got nav is retarded (and borderline ricer if you ask me). Who gives a flying **** that you got something on your car that came from the factory? It's like me saying I got Brembos on my Evo.

Base is not the best bang for the $. Enthusiast is. If you can live without cruise. lsd, vcd, steering wheel controls, dim rear view mirror/ home link, aluminum pedals, go for base. If these things matter much, go for enthusiast. Remember you are getting alot more for a couple of grand. Personal preference is all that matters at the end. I had 04 enthusiast, and I luv it. Only reason I went with base is I got great deal, and it came with HID and 18". If this was not included, I would have opt'd out for enthusiast. Good luck with whatever you go with. When its all said and done, you will have a Z.

I got a Base and about the only stuff I wish I had in it is a LSD (plan on getting one), the homelink mirror (can buy it later) and the VDC & TCS. Anybody know if it's possible to add the TCS to a Base?

Playboy's Z

base is base if you like base sure go with it. the best model in my opinion is the enthusiast, some gadgets and one of the lighter zs, best thing is having the traction control, limited slip differential, and cruise control. not too expensive either. best bang for your buck hands down.

Chart doesn't represent the "best you can get". It shows what trim level most 350z owners have.

I got a base because I don't need cruise control, steering wheel controls or any of the other little gadgets. LSD would have been nice but might as well get a better after market one with the money instead. TCS might have been nice but I can live without it.
