performance difference between no sport or sport package

jhtran13 · 11-13-2013, 03:34 PM

hey guys im wondering,

how much of a performance difference is there between having the sport package vs. no sport package.

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

What do you plan to use the car for? The sport package gives you better brakes (still not up for track use) wider rims, and better stock tires.

2013 has stiffer dampers. List includes, spoiler, front lip spoiler (under the bumper), upgraded brakes with hardened lines and GTR brake fluid, synchro rev match for manual trannys, viscous differential, and forged Rays wheels as opposed to the base cast wheels. It's a great buy if you are looking for those things in your car.

I totally forgot about all those other things since I went aftermarket. lol I think you definitely covered everything!

It's a sports car. Get the sport package.

The sport package brakes are excellent and worth the cost, the syncro rev match is irreplaceable, and everything else is just icing.

It will cost you a lot more than the $3k the sport package costs to piece together the aftermarket equivalent.

Plus you cannot bolt-on synchro-rev matching...

sweet thanks, yeah

im deciding to go for a 2013 base + sport + auto

kfull · 11-13-2013, 05:45 PM

Sports package totally worth it

2xtreme1 · 11-13-2013, 05:51 PM

Honestly sport is a must for this car imo unless you're making a track car aka modding it.
The rims and lip spoiler are the icing on the cake for the car.
The small calipers on the base looks weird on a z..

If you EVER plan on turbo-ing it or supercharging it. You don't want the auto. Besides that, awesome transmission!
(Also, every auto comes with revmatching, that's another reason why it costs more)

And try to get a 2014

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.

kenchan · 11-13-2013, 06:33 PM
