I shouldn't need to floor it to be able to use the rear to drive the car.

Hey RCZ, in hindsight: Do you feel like the sports package is worth it for someone who WILL be tracking the car and likely making the necessary modifications.

I'm assuming you are going to get a new diff, and probably some lightweight 18's with track tires. So thats already 2 major components of the sports package that need replacement (wheels and diff).
Would it be better to save the 3k and put it towards a set of AP racing brakes? For track I would most definitely get a set of coils, track wheels/tires, diff (eventually), and suspension bracing as needed. (And oil cooler but this doesn't have anything to do with sports vs non sports package)
So really the only thing left in the sports package is the brakes and the SRM.
Thoughts?
