I got the performance because of the LSD. I hate buying a lower model and not get the goodies. The lsd, to me, was somethign i wasn't going to want to pay put on. Plus i got navigation, HID lighting, dimming mirror.

Nothing wrong with base. It just depends what you want out of the car. They have diff models to suit diff types of people. If you are a person who knows you can buy and afford the extra stuff later, you are better off with the base.

I bought new 06 hids, brembo brakes, and burnt orange leather after i got the car. Good thing i didn't pay a lot more for the touring since i knew i could of gotten the leather seats for cheaper..

Meh who cares. I have base, I got it because I figured I'd save the money and put it towards the nismo lsd and 3.9fd. I couldn't car less if everyone hates the base.

The base has the best power/weight ratio.
I'd love go head to head with any BS autoxer in any trim Z out there.
Maybe except for Carter.

how about the 350Z FTMFW!!! Haters FTMFL. you can save a lot of money if u buy a base. i think mabye it was a mistake to post this thread, just brought out all the people that dont value the 350Z as a whole. arent we all just lucky to have One. we all love the Z. i think the thread should stop here!!

+1 I have to upgrade soon, the stereo is pretty bad. I own a base and im not heartbroken over not having all the bells and whistles. Having VLSD would be nice but not having it wasnt a dealbreaker either. I went from a 197hp wrong wheel drive econo car to a 307hp rwd car and only increased my payment 20 duckets a month, i can live with that

lol yea, i posted up some pictures and this kid goes "SICK BASE MODEL" i bought it for a project car, i just called him a hater, i think it's funny, if anything it's funnier to know he spent a few grand more than man for a dimming mirror LSD (which i already bought for less than they want for af actory one) and MAYBE leather seats. the only thing truly worth the upgrade is the brembos, and thats if you plan to stay with them.. anywho /rant.


I love all Z's :}
