Why pay more for touring/sports pack when it slows the car down?

Simple answer: Not everyone buys this car for the track.

Personally, I wouldn't drive the auto. That's too boring for me. Even with paddle shifters, it's still too boring. And the sport package is a good value, so you can add that on for me. And the touring is more comfortable with heated seats and Navi.

If I were going to build "the fastest straight line car possible", the Z wouldn't be my base platform in the first place.

The above is my answer. This is considering that a base with auto only weighs in at 50 pounds or so less than a touring with sport and manual. Apparently the Z is a purebred race car.

Crash, in case you don't know, this idiot has been trolling ... just look around for the "crashed the Z on test drive" and "auto comes with paddle shifters."
