Default Need buying advice

I have been researching 350Z's for about 2 weeks now while waiting for the perfect 2007 Touring to turn up. I have always wanted one and now it is time.

I am wondering if the VDC is worth having due to the fact that it is affected by what size wheels you go with - the sizes must be staggered, I guess?? 20"s all the way around look so good on the Z!

I would think traction control and VDC would be ideal, but I would rather check with experts before I purchase. I MAY throw on snow tires and drive it in the winter too.

Thoughts/buying advice??

If you live where it rains/snows a lot and plan to drive to the Z in those conditions, then TC and VDC is a must. If you're set on buying a Touring model, then you don't even have to worry about that cuz both features come standard on a Touring.

I live in Tampa, Fl where rain is a normal monthly event. Lots of it sometimes. I own a 2004 Enthusiast model, 19" rims and great tires that can handle rain. I think that VDC isn't necessary.

Good luck with your purchase!

Welcome to the forum. And when you do find the right 07, irrespective of what size rims you put on make sure you maintain the correct rolling radius. Do a search on here, if you're not sure.
