Sport Vs Base Model?

Duc_Z09

Get the sport model. You can always add "better" aftermarket components than what factory premium packages offer, but in this case it's going to cost you a whole hell of a lot to get something that's really not all that much better. The sport brakes and wheels are pretty awesome out of the box and 99.9% of people only "upgrade" them for looks anyway.

The LSD is worth it over the base rear; I've heard some track junkies bitching about how they needed to replace it, but IMO either they're super-demanding, highly skilled drivers or they're full of $h*t. I have no issues with mine.

SRV is a cool feature and you won't be able to install it on a base model.

You can always get better suspension but chances are you don't need it unless you're Ricky Bobby...

I feel that for most people the only things really worth upgrading (not talking just cosmetic here) are things that don't come on the sport models anyway like performance intakes/exhaust, short-throw shifter, etc. I'm also willing to bet that very few people on this forum are able to drive this car to its extreme limits anyway, even in stock trim.
