Question about the Sports Package

plato · 03-03-2011, 01:37 PM

I think so. I really regret not getting it as I lust over those darn Rays and the spoiler. I got my akebono brakes put in finally (red version like the 40th) and that alone ran me quite a bit of cash but I REALLY wanted them. I'm looking into a decent LSD and I might pick up some RAYs somewhere down the line or maybe even some other sexier wheels.

Yes

Yep!

What if it was 4k? (CDN version)

Yes, sports pkg is worth it if you are buying a manual (synchro rev match). Especially so, if you don't plan on modding the other components that comes with the Pkg. But, you can't get synchro rev match any other way.

Let's try it this way:
Rays or Volk 19" Wheels and Bridgestone Tyres: $????
LSD + Installation: $???
Front and Rear Spoliers: $???
4 Piston Brake Calipers: $???

100% worth it do the math....come on why buy a sports car with just basics, the BBKs are a plus alone..

I'm only going to bring up one point in this thread, as I knew I'd get slammed and insulted for my unpopular opinion.

When I nose into an apex and slide around a corner, or when I gas it and take off, I'm not thinking to myself, "blah so boring, wish this was going faster." I'm thinking "WHEEEEE". The BBK, LSD, and SRM are nice, but not necessary to enjoy the Z. And as far as the appearance elements, they're nice, but I still get several compliments every week on how my car looks, and I think it's gorgeous. So, to me, sports package wasn't worth the dough, and I stand by that.

flame on.

it all comes down to personal preference. but here is something to think about pay the extra 3k and get the sport package and if you want to change things down the road or even immediately you could easily sell the rims and brakes and make more than enough to cover the initial cost and have more to spend on upgrades if you can live without the parts unless you are a baller. I vote yes and I like the nav system for the styling and function.

I have heard alot of talk, even from my friends that the rev sync takes away from the "driving experience" and is cheating because we dont have to heal toe to downshift. I agreed with him up untill i downshifted through all the gears effortlessly and had a grin from ear to ear.

Def feel that the 3k is worth the sports package.

Even if that were the case, your friend could turn it off whenever he wants, so...

I thought I would too, then after a few weeks of having it on and hearing that beautiful downshift every time I pulled up at a light made me change my mind... now I love it!

They are indeed Touring models. Leather seats and heaters etc. The Sport and Nav are the only options.

and oh yeah, the 40th Anny came with Nav here.... nana nana booboo
