5,000-Mile 2003 Nissan 350Z Touring Stillen Supercharged

Description

In late summer 2002, Nissan released the eagerly awaited 350Z, the latest in the esteemed line of Z-cars. Acclaimed reviews swiftly poured in, with Car and Driver naming it one of 2003’s 10 Best and lauding it as a "reinterpretation of the groundbreaking Datsun 240Z that revolutionized the sports-car landscape in 1970." The Coupe lineup boasted a diverse array of trim levels including Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring, and Track variants, while the Roadster was available solely in Enthusiast and Touring trims. The Touring model boasted traction control, a viscous limited-slip differential, and cruise control while power across the range came from a 3.5-liter DOHC aluminum-alloy V6 paired with the choice of a manual or automatic transmission. Today the 350Z is a modern classic, appreciated by enthusiasts for its excellent combination of practicality, style, and performance – especially when equipped with a Stillen supercharger, headers, and cat back sport exhaust such as this example on offer.
