NO Brembo on Z350 Touring model, what else?

Why we can not have the brembo brakes as an option on the Z3350 Touring model, What else is missing from the track model?

Thanks... can we custom order ALL-Out fully decked options Z350?

Well if you check www.nissandriven.com they can prolly answer your questions over there. The 4 pot Brembos are on the track edition because that model is susposed to be more performance oriented hence the bigger brakes, body work and I believe a different suspension.

for the price of the brembo brakes, why not just get the track model?
If you want brembo that badly, get it aftermarket.

Why can't Maxima GXE owners get the GLE parts such as climate control or leather? because if you want the better part, pay the higher price. That's how companies make money.

I don't know about that, maybe because a touring has more options than the track model since the track probably has them standard?

If we are talking about base price, the Track model is more than the Touring. You know how manuals are usually less costly, for the touring model the manual is more (msrp) Track comes only in stick.

That is true a loaded touring model cost $37.5k.. Track model would cost $36.5k...

I do not understand, if I need leater, powerseats and all the nice luxury options of the touring edition plus Brembos... why not..

I guess I have to look into the G35 coupe instead.

Edit: Uh... the rims are ultra-light weight too on the track model... also they have front and rear sppiler diffuser.... these are the only performance mods missing on the touring model...

First of all, are you actually drive the car in situations when the brembos would be useful? If so, you prolly would either to have to buy the touring and swap in a brembo kit or buy the track and get a leather kit.

I wouldnt pay extra for the Brembo's unless you plan on racing the car. The stock brakes are very impressive. If you want a big brake kit later on you can go with many aftermarket applications. I plan on trading my Max in next summer for an Enthusiast and then slowly modding it.
