Base (Trim Level)

Overview

• MSRP (2006): $27,650

The base model is exactly as the name implies: a base configuration. This trim level of the 350Z comes with the bare essentials, making it the most affordable trim. Because of this, it is a good platform choice for those planning heavy modifications to the car immediately. The lack of a Limited Slip Differential could sway some buyers to go with the Enthusiast model. However, there is no shortage of aftermarket differentials from which to choose.

• Note: This model is not featured worldwide.
