For me, and 90% of other people who don't own Z's it doesn't matter. I laugh when I see the ego trip in the signatures "Enter irrelevant color code here-followed by trim that most people don't know, or care about, followed by weak excuse for modification*think floor mats*"

Leather = luxury.. who cares.
traction = for people that dont know how to control a car.
etc.
I mean for the price used base models are going its worth buying a base and upgrading it, rather than buying a "higher" model.

I have a 06 Base. Got it because it was cheap. I Spent about $300 and traded my seats for OEM leather seats. I have everything that I need and nothing that I don't. LSD and traction control just add weight to the car IMO. I'm careful when it rains and that keeps me safe. The 350z is a great car regardless.

Now people that want to make a drag car always buy the v6 mustang. Why? Because all they care about is the body and all the factory stuff was going to get replaced anyways.
Mustang v6= base model, cheapest, no options, intended for the people who like the looks but don't care about the performance
Mustang GT= middle model, more expensive, good options, intended for people with performance in mind

Bingo!
I have never been insulted by having a base, nor has anyone ever said anything degrading about it, maybe its just me,i got Exactly what i wanted.i thought it would be a waste of money to buy options i didnt want or have plans to replace.
Weird I have had my car for only 3 days here at work, and I get more compliments on my 07 so than I had on my 05 ss. And I have not even lowered or slapped on my V2front bumper and 19inch gunmetal volks ; )
