Sport Package Q?

DYNAZOR · 04-17-2012, 01:40 AM

Anyone who's driven a heavy truck for a living doesn't need SRM and probably will never use it. And like some others have said, after a while you probably will prefer matching engine speed/gear/road speed yourself.

I really didn't want to spend the extra dough on the sport package, but the car I wanted, Gun Metallic, had it, so I bought it. Having said that, I can still say I don't care about the differential or the spoilers, or even the wider tires, but the Rays are nice, and the brakes are indispensible. Could not possibly see myself having this car without those brakes now.

When i found my used one this past fall, had no idea about the Sport package. Now that I've learned some things about the 370 series, I wouldn't buy one without it....The syncro matching transmission will make you giggle each time you use it...Why would you take off one of the prettiest rims made for something else? The Sport package makes the cars look much more refined without being a "kid" car...

Not sure how driving a heavy truck compares to a high reving six cylinder... Seriously even if you are a master heel toer your still not going to rev match as well as the SRM.
