Touring...no brembos so it isn't track..leather seats, so it has to be touring (assuming they weren't added aftermarket).

Looks like an Enthusiast to me.
I do not see a Bose audio. Not sure where the seats came from.

Can't be a touring with 17" wheels. However the leather, splash guards, and wing suggest its not a base. More then likely a performance.

Leather + lack of brembos = Touring, but it is lacking Bose. Odd...

those leather seats were added after the fact. my burnt orange seats in my 03 touring look a little different. this car is definately a performance or enthusiast...

heated seats come standard with the touring/grand touring.

i guess it can be concluded that it isn't a track (no brembos) or a touring (no bose). The wing and splash guards are optional on all non-track/gt models, so that isn't a factor, and the leather seats are clearly added aftermarket. If the buyer can check whether it has xenon headlamps, then we can eliminate a base (2003 bases didn't come with xenons). If the buyer can check whether is has VDC (check for the switch), i think that would differentiate a performance from an enthusiast.

I am thinking it doesn't have xenon's (which would mean its a base) because it would probably say that in the specs...but I'm not too familiar with how the non-xenon headlamps look.

I just looked at the pics again...it looks like there is a VDC switch, which means Performance is a winner, right? Unless non-vdc cars come with a TCS switch.

okay...i got it...

The base doesn't have aluminum pedals, so base is also ruled out, leaving Performance and enthusiast.

Enthusiast has TCS (explaining the button) and it has 17" wheels. The Perfomance has 18" wheels...so Enthusiast is the winner.

Touring models and base 03-04 Z's come with 17"s. Performance ('04 model) comes with six spoke 18"s

What I think I see is the fuel cap button circled in green and the TCS button circled in red..it is almost impossible to see..but its there.

Also, navi is irrelevant..that doesn't come standard on any model..it is optional on all. And it can't be a base unless he added the aluminum pedals aftermarket.

So to sum up..

can't be base because of aluminum pedals. can't be performace because of 17" wheels. can't be track because no brembos. can't be touring because of no bose.

it has to be an enthusiast model with the leather seats added later. iirc, those burnt orange leather seats weren't even available on 03s...notice there are no power controls for the seats.
