Edmonton tends not to be the first place people think of when it comes to sports cars. The cold winters are enough to deter anyone from considering it a place to spread the wings of a high-performance vehicle. Well, those people have never visited Alberta. The blend of mountains and plains makes Alberta’s capital the ideal place to hit the open road in a speedy ride. Thankfully, Nissan has just the car for the flat farm roads and twisty hills of the Rocky Mountains: the Nissan 350Z. The predecessor to the Nissan 300ZX, the Nissan 350Z was available between 2002 and 2009 before being discontinued in favour of the upgraded Nissan 370Z.
Background on the Nissan 350Z
The Nissan Z-car line is the manufacturer’s star sports car offering. But in North America, production stopped for a duration in the late '90s after Nissan withdrew the Nissan 300ZX from its lineup. Afterwards, the corporation attempted new models like the unreleased Nissan 240Z but struggled to discover a layout that would provide the appearance and performance they were searching for. It took some time, but in 2000 design began for the Nissan 350Z with it finally hitting the North American market in 2002.
Nissan 350Z Edmonton
During its seven-year run, the Nissan 350Z was available in many different variations. Starting at the base level, trims include Performance, Touring and Track editions. Additionally, a Nissan 350Z Roadster was introduced in 2004, available in another two trim levels. The car received two facelifts: one in 2006 and another one year later, each modifying the engine for higher performance. Meanwhile, many variations of the vehicle have been modified for motorsports purposes.
