How can you find out what model you have?

Hello All,

This might be an easy question, but how can you tell which model Z you have? I bought mine 2 months ago 03 with 35k miles and the owner had no idea what model it as. Would it be on the VIN # or are there certain characteristics I should look for?
Thanks

What buttons do you have on the left underside of the dash, for starters? Not the gas tank release, closer to the steering wheel.
It might be helpful if you post a picture of the interior and exterior of your car.
