might have mistaken that for the 350 as your mentioned...

but generally speaking, you will find the following on a Z w/ the sports package:

1. rear wing
2. red or grey brake calipers
3. 19 inch wheels
4. if 6 MT transmission, then look for "S" button on the top right.

If 7 AT and newer models (i believe '15+ - correct me if i'm wrong):
1. it will have paddle shifters (i read somewhere the new base models 7 AT don't come with paddle shifters).
2. the side Z emblem marker will not light up when you use turn signals on base models.
it's only the current year that did this. i think it's part of the drop the price drop some gadgets
