Hey everyone,

I just traded in my 05 white base 350z for the 2006 350z track w/ the staggered rays wheels and brembo brakes. I am almost speechless at how beautiful the new Z is.

I will post more pics tomorrow and try and do a small write up later this weekend.

Initial impressions:

staggered wheels: smoother feel in handling. (less jerky)
clutch: adjusted very low (race style)
brakes: a little mushy (they arent broken in yet)
exhaust: sounds alot deeper than the 05. (gargle = really nice!!!)
handling: took it about 100 on a corner in 6th(breaking in) and holds like its on a rail.
interior: despite all the hating from reviews. it is more planned out and comfortable than the prior.

more to come soon.

here are some pics i took(bad b/c its 2 dark at home. hahah)

hope you enjoy.

 

more pics...

 

Nice man. The 05 wasn't cutting it? heh

 

thanks. the 05 was my baby, but i let her go for an 06 monster.

the pictures really don't do justice. the wheels are some of the best quality i have ever seen.

 

thats soooo hot! Im thinkin about pickin up an 06

 

daym thats nice......

 

how does your silver compare with the old silver...have you seen the new black yet...how does it compare to the old one.

 

thanks. i'm not sure about the new black as my car is 1 of 3(track models) in California for the next few weeks. A guy bought a silverstone gray in long beach and i heard there is a black in palm springs. the silver is just plain beautiful. it goes perfect w/ the wheels.

 

Going from a base model to a track model is going to impress no matter what year you get...
LOVE the rims!

 

My girlfreind works for nissan I think I can get my hands on a 06 for a really good deal. Does anyone think its worth it? I paid 22k for my 03 touring with 9k on it. Anyone have opinions?

 

That's a great looking car you have there! Our local Nissan Dealership has the exact model on their lot and it looks awesome.

I'd really like to pick up a set of those rims!

Congratulations.

 

yeah the wheels are great! i just installed the nismo intake, short shifter, and shift ***. i also put the car on my buddies hydraulic lift. i will post pics of the carbon driveshaft later and hte changes that were made under the car.

 

What did they give you on the trade-in for your 2005 350Z base model?

 

Thank goodness you got rid of that old 2005.

 

Out with the old, in with the new! Grats on the 06 undRgrNd350z.

 

Day pics!!!!!!!!!

 

if you ever get rid of the wheels....look me up lol

 

big step from an 05 base to a track 06, please post day picks and run the 1/4 for us does the torque and pull feel more powerful

 

Dude you have hgot to be kidding me.
Exhaust: the same as 05
Suspension : the same as 05
handling: the same as 05 although since you had a base your tires werent as good.
Interior: minor changes at best. The biggest changes in 06 are the headlights and tail lights.
Next your going to be saying it definitly feels faster etc. When its actually a slower car.
