Default Need Some Guidance Please

Hi everyone, I am in love with the 2003 - '05 350z and I really want to buy one next summer but I have been looking around a lot at the different types of cars for sale and I am having a tough time figuring out what package is right for me.

The three that stick out to me the most are: Redline, Track, and Enthusiast.

What are the differences? Is there somewhere on the internet (wikipedia didn't help) to look at what the differences are?

I am the president of a fairly large sport and modified car club in Minnesota and my current fun car is a 42K mileage engine swapped 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT:





I love the car, but I am getting tired of how old it is. I want a new project/driver car that is just as much fun to drive with the new car technology and more power.

Please help me educate myself on the different models available.
Thank you!

Thank you for all of your help! I guess I will be looking for a 6 speed, turbocharged track model. 2003-2005.

I have 6000K HID Headlight bulbs and when I take pics they look super blue, but in real life they do not look very blue at all - more white. It's kind of odd...

Of course not! However, I see Z's for sale all the time that have had a proper turbo kit installed and tuned for sale. That would be my goal: To pick up someone else's project that has already spent all of that extra money.

If the motor is in rough shape, I have no problem tearing it down in the future and building it up better.

They sure LOOK like Audi Wheels! They came on the car and I haven't ever changed them. They are not my choice, but they are OK for now.
