06 is heaviest, and has less torque. probably the slowest year, as if that really matters. the "300" horsepower comes and goes too quickly for it to be an advantage over "287." Plus, the Track comes with 4 pot brembos and a limited slip dif. you're looking at 3k to add on to the 06 to get the same level of handling.

^^^"Every Nissan is backed by a 36-month/36,000-mile limited vehicle coverage and a 5-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain coverage. "
it's whichever comes first my friend, whichever comes first
and if the 06 has 60,000, the time is up for that little guy

crap. i forgot about that. the headlights, not to mention taillights are way freakin better. the LEDs, while not as sexy as the G35, are pretty hot. so pretty much, you have a car that performs marginally better but looks marginally worse, or a car that performs marginally worse, but looks marginally better.

Go for the O6!!! Something is fishy about the '03s mileage, it sounds way too low. On the other hand the '06s sounds a little high but, honest. Go for the '06, if it consumed oil it would’ve been fixed taken care by now.
PROS for 06
-updated headlights, taillights, front bumper, interior, active power steering, redesigned intake box, bigger front rotors (on the base), and no tranny problems like the 03's had.
+ it's not a 6 year old care!

so i got around 15k to play with and have found a fully loaded 03 track with 50k and all the goodies (nav, leather, etc) and a .... both are 6mt.
now WITH THE 03!!! car i get i plan on doing at least i/h/e with a tune along with some suspension work. which of the two would you guys recommend? keep in mind that performance is my number one concern. thanks

I have an '03 with 50k on it. The intake box isn't really a pro considering he said he was going to put an intake on it, and as for the brakes, bigger front rotors on the heavier '06 are still no comparison to the lighter '03 with brembo's.

Id keep looking honestly.
I spent a year looking for my Z.
got an 04.5 touring 6spd for under 17k with only 29K miles on it back in January.
Of the two you are talking about, the track model would be the no brainer...though you'ld have to make sure the tire feathering was not a problem on that 03.
but honestly I think you can find one with lower miles. Id stick with an 03 or 04.5 You might have to travel a little to get it (I drove 450 miles to pick mine up)..
but the lower miles are worth it IMHO.

i would think an 03 fully loaded track with 50k for 14,500 is a steal. i was planning to try and talk him down a bit too. is past 50k something to worry about with these cars?

It is a steal.
I paid 14,200 for my 03 Enthusiast with 45k miles on it in really good condition back in March. I found cheaper ones but I wanted Daytona Blue. Either way, I was looking for a track for a long time. If it had been a track, It could have been Black, Red, Maybe even Le Mans and I probably would have still wanted it. I'm satisfied with my 03 though. Pick up that track for me though! It's a steal with the leather and Navi
