3. Limited Slip: This will help you put the power down coming out of turns and launching. Once again more use on the track than the street, but still handy.
4. SRM: This will rev match downshifts for you This is most useful when downshifting and powering out of a turn. It allows smoother engagement of the gear you have selected when you downshift.
Since he said he's only looking at 7AT, SRM isn't going to be a factor for him in getting the Sport package (and I think all 7ATs have SRM). But the larger brakes and LSD are definitely worth paying for the Sport package, IMHO.
