My cost on a sport package over a base is $2628. On a lease that ends up being $69 a month more on this particular car ($368 vs $437). Of course the sport package includes RAYs 19's, synchro match, LSD, bridgestone potenzas, rear spoiler, sport brakes, aero chin, and euro shocks.
Here's the thing...euro shocks are going to be nothing like KYB's or Koni adjustables right?? The sport brakes are they really better if I just upgrade pads and rotors? The wheels I may upgrade anyways (or sell here if people will by them), the synchro match i know how to heal/toe as i race, the LSD would be nice if it works good, the spoiler I may get it anyways or the Nismo or aftermarket, and the aero chin i could care less about.
So what do you all think that have a sport or not since i havn't test drove either? |
Sport package because

The sport brakes are they really better if I just upgrade pads and rotors? Sport brakes look better. Plus resale value is greater than base brakes. Nobody's going to want base calipers. Just too ugly.
The wheels I may upgrade anyways (or sell here if people will by them) Again, resale value. Sports > Base
the synchro match i know how to heal/toe as i race Yes, but the 370Z was the first car with such a feature, so IMO you should get a Z with it. If you don't like it, you can always turn it off
the LSD would be nice if it works good No idea.
the spoiler I may get it anyways or the Nismo or aftermarket Again, resale value
and the aero chin i could care less about. Resale value

Based on what you've said, it seems like you're better off not getting the sport package, HOWEVER, like I've said many times, resale value. You can easily recoup most of the $2628 or whatever simply by selling the stuff back out in the market. This is not a jab to you in any way, but I'll never understand why people won't/don't want to get the sport package with the Z.
