Touring vs. Track, and why?

First off, if there is another similar thread, I apologize for my lazyness...

Anyway, at first I wanted the Track model because of the rims, Brembo's, and the front/rear spoilers..but now I am starting to think. I also want heated seats, leather, and power seats. I don't really care too much about the sound system because I've read that it sucks. I know I can get aftermarket parts for the seats and body, but I don't know what I should do. What do you guys think and why?

Outside of the Brembo's and Ray's wheels, the vehicles are identical mechanically. You can add an Aero pkg to the Touring and look very close to the Track. All the engine/driveline & suspension carry over from the base 350Z up to the Track.

I have to say I do like the factory Leather!

Well, the touring model will do great at a track event - can't wait to take a Z to Thunderhill! - since you still have the 18" tires and the same engine. The track model is just prepped even more for such an event especially with the bigger brakes and the aero set up.

It all comes down to your needs. Are you gonna be racing all the time? Get the track. Do you need a sports car with a GT appeal? Get the touring.

Personally, I think the enthusiast model encompasses all the needs for a fun car! I had an Audi TT with all the bells and whistles - nav system, heated seats, Bose, etc. - and it was great but I think that the 350Z gives you so much fun with its driving experience that the last thing you'll be thinking of is heated seats or leather!

Cheers!
