Hey there,

question(s)...

Was it possible to get VDC on an automatic 2003?

what model or year would have VDC ?

would it make a difference if it was US or Canadian?

cheers

looking at my 03 brochoure looks like you had to get the performance model, or the track model to get the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) both of which were offered only as manual transmission only for the 03 model year

so I guess thats a no

I think it's funny that they offered it only on "performance" and "track" models, anyone racing a 350Z will turn the VDC off first thing

and the Z is lighter, It'll be interesting to see what happens with the resale values on these cars as they age.

you do not have to wait, the resale value on the g35s are great, the 350z holds very little. My 2004 350z track package sold new for 34k and bought it four mounths ago (under 27k miles) for 21k. That is a drop of 13k in two years. I bought my 2005 g35 coupe, sports package new 32K and sold it one later with 6k miles on it for 30k, you do the math.
