SophiaZ, play up the safety aspect of the limited slip and upgraded brakes. Safety first!!!
There's no "safety" advantage in either of those upgrades - and neither of them is good under moderate-to-heavy track use. The base brakes WILL stop your car within +/- 5 ft of the sport brake package in a single-stop, panic-type stopping situation. Guaranteed. AKA waste of money.

The only reason I'd pay for the Sport package is for the wheels and SRM on the 6MT.

But will HE know that? When I said "play" it up I meant exactly that.

Doubleposting, but yes, have her use deception to make an irresponsible choice. This is a great idea.
