The '09 is horsepower heavy. It needs work for doing trackdays. If you haven't done trackdays before. It will kill you.

The '15 has a lot of stuff already done for the track.

Don't know how much experience you have in doing trackdays.

You said 09 needs work, do you mean the stuff from 2015?
How about put all the stuff from 2015 to 09?
No experience at all, but i will learn by driving "slow " at first.

I'm assuming since he's asking this he will be inexperienced.

The 09 has no additional aero to deal with the extra power to the wheels. That alone will be a headache to deal with even with a decent amount of track time, I know. No car is built to withstand track abuse, eventually something will go and cost money to replace, I had to replace my transmission when fifth gear's synchro disintegrated. Not to mention all the times I came very close to walls that could have turned out to be a complete loss of the car.

What you really need to have a good 370Z track day car.
Oil Cooler, Sport Brakes and track pads + fluid, Good tires, Anti fuel starvation system

Optional (this will negatively impact daily driving (noise/comfort) but give a good boost to track performance)
upgraded coil overs, upgraded sway bar and end links, Upgraded diff

Any other money should be put to seat time and instruction and safety equipment (which can easily be +$10K).
Seats, Harness, Harness bar/roll cage, data logger, etc.

In the very long run the 09 will be better if you & it make it there. Its kinda like starting off with a 1000cc superbike instead of going through the normal progression of learning from a 250cc one. Sure you can do it but it's a bad idea.
