Not Planning to Track - Is Sports Package Worth It?

spearfish25 · 02-06-2010, 07:51 PM

Track days aside, there are a few things to think about.

1) Aesthetics of the sport pack. The 19" rims are really nice and look great.

2) SRM. A nice feature, great for smooth downshifts, but you won't miss it if you never experience it.

3) Improved brakes. Probably make no difference for street driving.

4) LSD. If you drive in snow, you'll want this. It's helpful in more places than just the racetrack.

5) Perhaps resale value. People love buying cars that have 'all the options'. SRM is a big ticket item that gets lots of attention. People may look for this in a used 370 down the road.
