Default My almost new 2006

Finally got around to snapping a few pics of my new Z today. Picked up this 06 GT a couple weeks ago. It only had 1600 miles! The previous owner had the windows tinted so i think it looks great as is. The only thing i'd like to add at this point is a rear spoiler, so if you guys can give me some options (websites) other than the OEM spoiler i'd surely appreciate it.

Nice car, and nice color!

But the rims look like they're only 17". Do you have the specs?

Umm...Grand Touring comes with rays lightweights 19" behind 18" in front. FAT365/35/19 rubbers on the rears. The owner could have had the wheels replaced sure but at that low of milage?? Rear spoiler comes stock on Grand Touring. I cant see the picture from work but I think youve been had cuz GT comes with EVERYTHING including the pretty orange brembo brake calipers.

Okay i had to do some research since you guys called me out on the GT label. Honestly, i didn't realize there were two different touring models offered, so i learned something today. Anyway, it appears that i have the base touring model. No matter - i still love the car.

Nice car have always loved that color!

Hopefully the last owner didn't sell due to oil consumption issues.

Interesting point about the vehicle not being a GT. Did Nissan start including Brembo brakes on GT's in '06? Or were they always a part of the package?

Well, i don't 1600 miles is enough to tell if it's using or not. I will keep an eye on it though.
