I'm planning to get a base model. Actually, i have to cuz i want a black one and there's only one black 350Z in the whole Oregon, which is a base model.
I would like to know if the LSD and the traction control really make a big difference.

well, Oregon is not the most populated state i believe, so if the dealers are short on Z's i wouldn't be surprised...
As far as LSD's:

I bought the base model a year ago and drive the car hard through corners, after all I live in Southern California. I dont notice not having the LSD in my car. I do hard starts as well and dont feel that it hinders my performance. I do regret not buying the enthusiast for the xenon headlights and the cruise control. If I had the traction control I would switch it off. The dealers in San Diego had all touring packages except for one dealer with a base model in a silverstone, the color I wanted. Overall I would do it again.

Hey, which Nissan dealer did you check? Tonkin has a black touring and I know beaverton nissan has a few black ones too. Check them out. Oregon is small, but, it's not that small! There are four Nissan dealers near the portland area and a few on the coast and another one down south somewhere, so you have your options. Are you sure there's only ONE black 350z in oregon and it's a base??? You do know you can order one, right?

Shop around until you find an Enthusiast...............you get soooooooooooo much more for the extra 2 Gs.
And do not believe anything a car dealer tells you.
In your shoes I'd call a bunch of other dealers until you find your combination. When I bought mine, I used the Nissan site & searched 3/4 of the dealers in ALL of Cali before I found my Brick 300 miles south of me.
I'm a big believer in "don't settle" when it comes to buying a car.
