Default Determining what model Z?

I am going Car shopping this weekend for my new Z, havn't decided if i wanna buy a new one or a used one. The used ones usually dont have the model type and some sales people do not know what model they are heh, Is there a way i can tell which model Z it is? Any info would be great, thanks.

Here is what I usually look for.

Track: Big orange brembo brakes.
Touring: Leather Seats and rounded spoke 18" wheels.
Performance: 18" wheels with no leather.
I have a hard time telling the enthusiast and base apart except that if it is an automatic and it doesn't have the leather then it is an enthusiast.

From visual appearances alone (given that both are 6MT's), I typically look at the steering wheel. The Base will have a nice clean and even look on both of the aluminum side arms, while the Enthusiast will have the CC buttons on the right side.

The Enthusiast, Base and automatic Touring has 7-spoke 17 in wheels.
