You can go to the Nissan website and configure a new one and see the differences. This is sorta applicable to earlier years but there have been changes over the years such as the Track model no longer exists, some of the Track car features are now in the GT model.
I would not get a GT model though if you want to add wheels and brakes since it comes with Rays and Brembos !

If you dislike your ms3 because of lack of tunability, I don't see how getting a Z will change anything... The VQ35HR engine comes pretty much maxed out in terms of performance with bolt-ons causing loss of power in some cases. Read through the top 100 questions first.

The 350Z will be a fun upgrade for you. Just going to a RWD sports car will make all the difference in the world. The 350Z doesn't really need a whole bunch of performance upgrades (some are nice) as it's a really well sorted car right from the factory.
You will forget about the need for tuneability when you go from a FWD econobox to a real sports car. Might be easier to help you if you post what years you are interested in. There are some differences between years that make tuning and performance quite different.
