performance difference between no sport or sport package

SunsetZ · 11-14-2013, 04:05 PM

Like someone said, the 2014 is over $3,000 cheaper, why would anyone consider a 2013? Are dealers dropping those below the 2014 deals?

I actually bought it with 8miles on it so it was a new car. But I guess we will never know what is truly the best bang for your buck 370z since it can go so many ways. From what I get out of all this is personal preference. If you are happy then that is all that matters in the end.

The sport pkg gives over $7000 in quality equipment for $3000. Even with the $1200 in mods the package may need to be track ready. You still keep $2800 in your pocket for more mods going with the sport pkg.

The akebonos are 10x better than the base brakes. Definitely worth the money.

I know it kind of does look better since it comes with a spoiler/rims

I bought a new 2013 base in April and if I could do it again I'd get the sport every time. Synchro rev alone makes it worth it, but you also get a limited slip diff, better brakes and tires, and stiffer suspension. The base is a great car, but with the 3k price reduction on the Z's a few months ago it's worth it to just pay the extra money for the sport package.

I believe the sport package also comes with euro tuned shocks, but not sure how similar they are to the Nismo shocks? I got the sport package just based on the LSD and Brakes and got 19 inch wheels with it so it's definitely worth the extra money you pay.

You're right - for some reason I thought he was asking about the performance difference with just the base wheels and sport wheels and spoiler (was somewhat distracted while reading), so I redacted my post.

I thought like you it was eg. 68 Mph vs 72 MPH etc.

I got a base because I want to build the car my self. Why throw out money on parts that you are going to change out anyway. Do what is best for you and what you like.

This is my mentality too. However, I'm planning to mod it once I pay off the car. One thing I really do want NOW is LSD. I literally get stuck turning into a drive way sometimes.
