2005 Nissan 350Z 35th Anniversary
What's Special About It?
2005 marks the 35th anniversary of the Z car, and Nissan is ready to celebrate its big milestone with a commemorative 350Z. This unique Z uses a higher-performance version of the 350Z's standard 3.5-liter V6 engine which puts out an impressive 300 horsepower compared to 287 ponies from the standard V6. Power is increased by piston and camshaft revisions, along with electronic exhaust valve timing control. The only transmission offering for the new engine is a six-speed manual gearbox.
Additional 35th Anniversary distinguishers include special 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels, front and rear spoilers, Brembo brakes and 35th Anniversary badging. The anniversary edition coupe comes in just three colors — Ultra Yellow, Super Black and Silverstone. Black and silver car buyers can opt for new black-and-tan leather-trimmed seats.
What's Edmunds' Take?
With six 350Z models to choose from in 2005, the 35th Anniversary edition will help set you apart from the ever-expanding Z following. Choose the car in Ultra Yellow, and the liquidy luminescence of show paint topped with three coats of clear-coat are bound to attract even the most jaded Z-lover's eye. — Kelly Toepke
