Not Planning to Track - Is Sports Package Worth It?

I believe it's definitely worth it to get the sport package.

One more difference is that the 19's come wrapped in Potenza's while the base is on Yoko's.

As for the LSD, at least it makes drifting easier...

I don't think that would matter to a guy who is just making some spirited freeway runs every now and then.

I never track my car either, I still believe it's worth the better brakes, rubber, wheels and looks

Also I guess we need a better definition on what OP means with spirited back road driving... I guess this isn't what he's talking about?

Similar performance under which conditions? Same size tire different brand?Most likely there won't be a lot of difference no.

But the size of the tire should make a difference from 225/50WR18 to 245/40WR19 and 245/45WR18 to 275/35WR19 should make a difference...

If you can afford the extra $2500, get the Sports package. If can't, then dont'.

I asked myself the same question. When i see the two side by side, i had to get the Sports package.
