Buyers of the Nissan 350Z are aware of the reputation of the car they are purchasing. The 350Z has been one of the premier vehicles of the Nissan line for years. It is considered an institution of a car and the 2003 model is no exception. The Nissan 350Z falls into the coupe for the family category. People who purchase the 350Z have been doing so for the last few generations in a family. It is a constant that only gets better with age.

Performance

The restyled 350Z Track is equipped with a Nissan 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 24 valves. The engine is paired with a Nissan 6-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Nissan.

The 350Z uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 2003 350Z is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.

350Z Track Statistics

The dimensions of the 350Z Track are 71.50 inches wide by 169.40 inches long. It sits a comfortable 51.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 104.30 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the 350Z is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $26,370 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $24,663. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The 350Z Track received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty in-city driving and twenty six when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In 2002 and 2003 the 350Z Track was availble in the exterior colors of Brickyard, Chrome Silver, Daytona Blue, LE Mans Sunset, Pikes Peak White, Redline, Silverstone, and Super Black. Additional options were made available by the factory.

In Summary

The 2002 model began the promise of the Nissan 350Z. The 2003 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Nissan hopes that the 350Z Track will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
