Default New 05 350z Owner PA

I'm happy to say that so far I think this is the best car I've purchased.

I am a little confused though.
When I used the VIN Decoder it doesn't tell me much.
I'm trying to figure out which trim I have.
I'm thinking it Touring
1. Heater leather seats
2. Bose sounds system
3. Cruise control
4. HID headlights
5. No Brembo brakes

Daytona Blue

Nice! I'm in the same boat. I think I have the touring but not sure. Same as yours with the heated leather, bose, cruise, hid, no brembos. Insurance company marked it as a track but I'm relatively sure it's not a track edition.

I used a VIN decoder here: http://www.vindecoder.net and it said it was Base model
When I used it here: http://www.decodethis.com/, it said it is a performance model

EH, I quite I'm happy I finally got a Z.

To be honest, I only plan on tinting the windows, fixing my hatch struts, and maybe finding a OEM GPS and head unit besides regular maintenance. I may have plans later down the road but for know I love her just the way she is. Sexy clean curves and better performance than I'm used to. Hell, its stock and just spanked my old Prelude that I put a good deal of work into.

Good plan. I miss my stock Z. So many options. Now I'm at expensive-er stuff that I have to save for. Plus the Zs are no joke. I came from an RX8 and it's interior was waaaay better but the Z has this thing called torque that rotaries dont....

Yeah, the first wet day I had in her, I took out to get control of that. My goal was not to spin my tires in the rain. My Brother had an old school IROC-Z that he spun and broke an axle on a curb on a rainy day.

It took a try or two but I got it under control. This is also my first rear wheel drive.
