The Nissan 350Z is a coupé and roadster-type automobile built by Nissan.

The Nissan 350Z six-gear two-seater was introduced in August 2002. It is the fifth generation of Nissan's Z-car line.

A special 35th Anniversary model will be offered in 2005. This version comes with a 300 hp (224 kW) 260 ft.lbf (353 Nm) version of the VQ35DE - exactly twice the output of the original 1969 240Z. Automatic versions of the Anniversary model are limited to 287 hp (214 kW).

The 350Z was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2003. It was also on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list that year.

Released August 20th, 2002, the 2003 350Z was available in 5 trim packages, including the Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring, and Track Editions. Pricing started in the $26k range for a Base, and went beyond $34k for a fully loaded Track model. Nissan's performance and motorsport division, Nismo, began producing performance and aesthetic upgrades for the 350z shortly after its release.

The (350Z) is referred to as a Fairlady in Japan

. It carries the chassis designation Z33. The and it has a 6 cylinder with 287-horse power. The coupe has ABS Brakes and it has driver passenger air bags. The coupe has a six speed Manual Transmission and also the car is rear wheel drive. But only the bad thing is that there are only two seats so that means you better not have more then two people in the family. It gets pretty good miles per gallon in the city it gets twenty miles a gallon and on highways it gets twenty-six miles per gallon. Also the car comes with Air conditioning for the hot days and a CD Player so that you can listen to your CD’s. It also comes with power windows and locks. It also comes with side Impact door beams other cars don’t come with that so this car is kind of a good deal. But there are some Cons one of them are that there are no standard child safety locks. Another is that there are no standard child seat tethers and no standard side air bags. One more theirs no standard traction controls. But there are a lot of good things about this car there are six different trims ranging from the base to the anniversary edition. But one of the best 350z would have to be the (anniversary edition) because it has a V6 with 300-horse power. This 350z has a wheelbase of one hundred and four point three inches. The car over all length is one hundred sixty-nine point four inches. This vehicle has a height of fifty-one point nine inches. The vehicles width is seventy-one point five inches. The front headroom is 38.2 inches and with the legroom its 42.6 inches. But the interior is all cloth, which is carbon. But you can never go on vacation in this car if you pack a lot of luggage because it lacks luggage space. There are four different colors of this car there’s gray, blue dark orange and white. The gasoline capacity is twenty gallons. The Nissan Z’s started in the early nineteen seventy and made it through the eighties and in to the nineties and until now. The first Z to ever come out was the (1970 Dotson 240z).

The Nissan 350z weights 3188 lbs.

== inside of the car ==

The inside of the car it has a leather steering wheel, a front stabilizer bar and also a rear stabilizer bar. It also comes with a automatic climate control. For lights it has halogen headlights. For the glass they are tinted. The seats are buckets with front cloth. For steering there’s power engine speed sensitive rack and pinion variable assisted steering. So basically this car is a really good car to get if you ask me.
