Welcome to site and good luck w/ your Z purchase!

The trim you choose is all preference but if you're going to upgrade the stereo and/or seats, save some money and skip the touring model.

Best place to see whats included in each trim is here .

Let us know what you get!

Yep, Touring is the heaviest but not by much. Go for the Performance if you plan on upgrading a lot. I think that's the cheapest model that comes with traction control and 18's. I think...

I would go enthusiast if you plan on seriously modding. You get traction control, HID's, and Limited slip differential over the base.

The Performance is the cheapest with 18s. It has traction control and VDC. The Enthusiast has traction control and 17s. As a starting point for performance, the Enthusiast is a better choice than the Performance

Hells yeah enthusiast is the best. The performance model does have 18's, but the wheels are so similar to the 17's that it doesn't make much sense in my book.

Hey, glad to see your joining our little world.

I've got an enthusiast as well.
