If a car im looking at is actually a Track model... it doesnt have the Rays wheels but it does have brembos. Is there anywhere I can run the VIN to see what package is on it?

 

I do not believe VIN# specifies the model. Easiest way to tell if it was made a track model is to push see if you have VDC OR TCS.. VDC is only available on track and touring models in 2003 i believe. So if you have VDC its a track... UNless you have leather seats, and bose stereo , its a touring.


Truth is , it doesn't matter what model it is, Because the only differences in the models are the , brakes, wheels, seats, stereo.. Except base model.. Which misses the cruise control and LSD

 

wtf is the point of the track model without brembos?

 

pretty sure you have a track, don't think there was a grand touring for 03 - 05. someone prob sold the rays for some money

 

The Performance model had it as well.

 

he has brembos, just not the rays

yes you are right, well in that case if he had a performance model, the only difference would be is he has upgraded brembos, if he has a track model , the only difference is hes missing the rays.

Most likely the owner sold the rays for money

 

Thanks... ive already got a Track Model, looking at this one cause its LS and low miles... just havent ever been in one that wasnt a track to look for diffs haha.

 

No.

 

Is he the original owner? If so, maybe he has the window sticker.

He could have added the Brembos to a Performance model or sold the Rays wheels. Which did he say he did?

its on a used car lot, and they were told it was a track edition when it was traded in.

 

There are a lot of Franken-Zs out there. You can't tell from the VIN, but a dealer can look it up in their system by VIN and tell you what it was delivered as.

 

Something else to look for, if the Brembos were installed on a different model they probably cut the dust shields to accommodate the larger rotors.

 

Good call.

 

Some data:

"The Track model ($34,079) gets vented Brembo brakes, 18-inch rubber mounted on lightweight aluminum wheels, and front and rear spoilers. It comes with the cloth, is equipped with VDC, the viscous differential, xenon headlights, tire-pressure monitor, HomeLink, aluminum pedals (of course), the electrochromic mirror, and illuminated visor mirrors"

 

i'm betting it's one of those Franken-Z's according to Dave. Since you don't have all of the parts that complete a Track model

 

Unfortunately, with the exception of the Brembos and Rays wheels, that also describes the Performance model. A true track also has the underbody diffusers, something that came as part of the Aero package only offered on the Track.

 

what about the rear wiper? does that have any influence on the model?

 

no.
