Definitely the Enthusiast model. I could go without cruise control, but I gotta have H.I.D.'s and LSD.

I went w/enthusiast because I couldn't live w/o cruise control. The other extras (other than being able to choose an automtic) on the enthusiast trim aren't must haves IMHO.

If I could drive stick better and the base had cruise control, I'd have gone w/that. If you don't care about cruise, just go with base.

I too got the Enthusiast. I'm having aftermarket leather installed by CST. Then I'm planning on an 18" wheel/tire upgrade and a cat-back exhaust system.

17 inch wheels are ugly on a Z.

Why spend the extra money on factory 18" alloys when a decent se of 19" Volks will cost only a little more? That's why I'm buying an Enthusiast. Now if you are not a fan of after market wheels, then by all means, buy a Performance, Touring, or Track model.

I'm going with the track model simply because I'm not into mods... I'll be having my dealer install the factory leather on the seats and the 3M clear bra before I pick the car up. Then the only thing I'll be modding is the sound system.

Question for you. I am currenty leaning towards Track for the rims alone. However, it seems to make more sense to get the touring since it has the stock leather seats which I think look better than aftermarket leather (just my 2 cents).

If you purchase after market wheels, how compatible are they with the tire pressure monitoring system? At least the 18's on the track support this. Do all aftermarket wheels support this? I'd be going for 19" volks probably if i went with a touring...

It depends on whether or not you listen to trance. If so, you can get trancetastic wheels, but they won't work with the monitoring system. Plus, all the rainbows and lolipops and candy bracelets won't fit in your trunk If you listen to techno, then you would just buy the Track model because you wouldn't waste your time buying aftermarket wheels when the track wheels are good enough. You would also realize that paying $900 for aftermarket leather is much cheaper than buying $2500 aftermarket wheels, plus you'll have the brembo breaks and the aerodynamics package. Also, you don't need seat warmers in Austin, TX.

Way to confuse childish raver stereotype items with someone who happens to like a genre of music that actually is not something played at raves.

Little candy raver wannabes play happy hardcore and gabber and that crap at their stupid drug parties. Rarely if ever would you hear something by Tiesto at a rave.

*Thread Jack*

You're way off base. The rave scene is dead. It's been replaced by spoon fed mass media trance and UK hard house. Trancetastic Vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Nth...

Tiesto, Oakenfold, PVD... all trance trixies with fluffy clouds, rainbows, waterfalls and angelic voices. Same garbage as PLUR.

That is the joke I was referring to. No one in the EDM scene takes trance music seriously. It's for suburbanite glam club wanna-be rock stars... MTV puppets who wear socks on their arms and *shiny shirts* LMAO.
