Default ride difference between track and performance models?

Hello, I have driven a friend's performance 350z many times and like its handling and road-manners, but am considering a track model for myself.

For people who have driven and ridden in both, how would you describe the ride and road manner difference between the track and the performance models?

I'm considering purchasing a track 350z, but not having driven one yet, wonder what everyone thinks about its road demeanor.

Are the suspensions setup differently, or are differences due primarily to the lighter wheels on the track model?

Thanks!

The Track model has lighter wheels (Rays) and a better braking system (Brembos). The suspensions are the same.

One major thing to consider is what you are going to do with the car. If you plan on replacing the wheels and you are never going to "track it", you may want to get a lower model and save the money for newer wheels.

yeah, brake feel would be different, but its the same car minus brakes and rims. same tires on the rims, so the same traction, and same sidewall feel.
