can some one please break down all the trims of the 350z..and what year in your opinion(s) which is the best including the year (03/04/05). also what each one comes with and what not..and i only see 'performance' somtimes..idk which year that is or what not..if it got discontinued or whatever? also..if planning on getting custom sound system and wheels..thanks.

 

oops i said year twice...but ya.. u get the point =]

 

get 06. Best of all. 300HP compare to 286 (03-05)

 

Sure. I’ll get right on it.

 

Damn I just lost one horsepower.

 

so you're being sarcastic?

 

Yes. You question is a major project.

The most popular 350Z is the Touring. Difference between models? Check nissanusa for a detailed listing.

 

btw, why is this in Feedback, Suggestions & Questions ?

 

b/c he's asking for other ppls feedback and suggestions on Z models and he is asking a question. What he doesn't realize probably is the "feedback, suggestions and questions" pertain to the forum.

 

The key to being a helpful forum member is not that you are smart, you just have to look and find stuff. Search is a valuable tool. 2003-2005 350Z below:
