Limited slip, worth it?

Worth it? Of course it is. The difference from one wheel drive to 2 is pretty significant. As one rear wheel begins to slip, the other is engaged through a viscous coupling (sport package feature). If all you do is drive on the street, don't drive aggressively and don't have to deal with snow or seriously inclement weather than No, it may not be worth the cost to you to install an aftermarket unit ($1000+). Apparently you didn't see the value in the sport package, so the money (for you) would probably not be well spent..
