Default getting back in a z after the wreck...

so i had an 03 track edition z and i became accustom to the vdc button and lsd rear...i brought my car to a couple drift events and it was a blast...i was just wondering if i got a base model z or any other would it have the lsd dif and same or similar traction control options???

All Z's except the base model have the VDC & traction control, also you should get a LSD. Just stay away from the base Z

Wrong. VDC on touring, track, grand touring. VLSD on all but base. Traction control on all but base.

the limited slip is defintely something to keep in mind if you plan on driving the car daily... otherwise the base 350z is the lightest out of all of them and therefore theoretically the fastest...

you should just buy my daytona blue one that i have for sale...

thanks....guess the base has no traction control (spin them without having to waste time hitting a button) but no lsd...so i guess i gotta pull the lsd out of my '03 track and swap it with the '05 open dif...that'll be fun...

If you like going sideways, get the enthusiast. No VDC to worry about.

I love my base, it of course has an lsd added by myself. I just hate any form of traction control, since i "know how to drive".. lol.

base ftw however I do plan on installing an lsd eventually. I personally don't have a hard time driving it as is though, even in the rain.

I love my base Z with LSD. Put it this way, i have just a few bolt ons, plenum spacer, polished lower plenum, injen intake, test pipes and the diff and it runs 13.4@104. Ive also upgraded to the HID headlights and my car had leather added from the dealer so i love it. NO shitty Bose stereo, no traction control and no damn cruise, which i wouldnt use anyways since i run a Nardi deep corn wheel. Base all the way yo!!!
