so should I just skip the sport package and go base model and get aftermarket LSD?

will I benefit alot from an LSD for aggressive street driving?

i shoudlnt really be commenting due to my race knowledge = pure garbage BUT, from what i read on others on this forum, the LSD it comes with is great for street but not so great for the track. At least thats what i remember.

Street driving no, heavy track use, yes. A Quaife/Torsen will serve you well. Dont skip the SP solely because of that. Keep in mind, if you do get the sport and want an aftermarket spoiler, there may be a few residual drill holes that need to be filled. If you have the money, the SP is a great deal, but its not going to be everybodys cup of tea.
