i wouldn't have bought the car if it didn't have the sport package... so to me it was one of the key factors in my decision.

i like the akebono brakes. i like the 19" sport wheels. i also like the syncro-rev match not that i can't heel&toe, i like how it can quickly blip vs the delayed throttle input doing it with the gas pedal.

my G35C's throttle is quite a bit more responsive than the Z...

I agree 100%

The sport package was a must for me. I wouldn't have bought one without it hands down.

If the sports package saved me six inch's braking 70-0 down hill, then this alone completely paid for itself. My panic stop was SRM on, and it helped without question. A hard brake, down shifting into second, and revving 7,000 RPM's so smoothly, no rear wheel lock up, nose dipping down, wife sucking air to avoid screaming.

The SRM makes heel and toe obsolete, yet I tend to heel toe anyway.
