The important thing is to learn to drive and drive properly. If you do that, you will not need the computers.
This. I always turn off VDC as soon as I start my car.

So would you get the blue over the silver with leather/gps/vdc?

I keep looking back and forth and I think I will end up going with the blue, I just can't stand the boringness (sorry silver drivers) of the silver Z. I'm sure I can live without leather and vdc

The base doesn't have an LSD (limited slip differential) either which is no fun. Could let that be your first mod though.

Which silver is it?

Mine is "Liquid Aluminum." I always hated silver, ended up buying one (options/price/mileage), and it's grown on me. I wouldn't give up cruise/leather/heated seats/LSD for a different color.

I too, like the Canadian, was not a fan of silver cars before I got mine. The 07 Base I originally wanted was San Marino Blue (my favorite Z color) and I desperately wanted one but after looking for over a year I gave up. Ended up settling for my Silverstone and I do not regret it one bit. It's grown on me a lot more than I was expecting.

Tbh I'm not sure which silver, I'd look up which but I'm on my way to a baseball game. It's the lighter, more everyday car silver, not the nice dark one. Yeah it seems like silver can get decent with black rims and some tints, there's another blue 350z I found that has all the goodies but is 15k so I'm prayin I'll be able to get that but if not I'll prob go silver. Here's the blue one I now want. http://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sal...earchType=both wait a sec it's 16k so I won't be able to. Back to the base vs silver haha
