I am in the market for a 350Z track edition and am finding that some dealers who have 350Zs on their lots don't know which model they have. I am new to 350Zs myself. While I am aware that the primary differences between the Track Model and other models are the brakes, wheels and tires, I'm not sure how to be certain I'm when I'm looking at a Track model.

The car I'm currently looking at has the Track wheels, I'm pretty sure, anyway. But I otherwise don't know if this is a Track model. If someone can tell from the pictures, I'd appreciate the information. Also, if you can let me know what besides the brakes and wheels/tires differentiates the Track for other models, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Here is a link to the on-line ad. I know it says in the title that it's a Track model, but when I called the dealer, he wasn't sure. http://www.internetautoguide.c...false

I have close up pictures of the brake calipers, but I can't figure out how to post them here. I see the "insert image" button, but I'm not having any luck even with that.

It's not track edition, brakes give it away right off the bat. Track models have gold brembo brakes on them. Another thing is that track/gt models come with Forged Rays wheels.

Thanks. Are the wheels on the car in the ad from a Track model? They look it to me. If so, they were apparently put on a non-track car at some point. But, if they aren't, then I know I need to do some more work to learn what the Track wheels look like.

And do the gold Brembo calipers have "Brembo" painted on them? What else about Track models identify them as Track models?

I know these are pretty basic questions, but I'm new to 350Zs and don't want to end up buying something other than the Track. Thanks.

Track models come with: Rays forged wheels, brembo brakes, textile seats (as opposed to leather), Manual transmission only, front and rear diffusers (hidden pretty well, you need to know what you're looking for to see it), rear lip spoiler.

Wheels on the ad are NOT track wheels. 03-05 track/35A will come with 18"x8 front wheels and 18"x8.5" rears. While the 06 track will come with 18"x9 frontand 19"x10" rears

03-05 track

06 track 07/08 GT
