I just got my 2014 touring sport, I used to have an 03 touring and this was a hugeeee difference oh my...what a dream machine it is..I never had so many 'looks' people taking pics, pointing and gawking. Feels like Im in a Ferrari sometimes!

i never use the srm, call me weird but i don't like it :/

SRM was what kept me coming back to the Z. I looked at Camaro SS and Mustang GT with all that 400+ HP. And I like the looks/performance of the Camaro SS with 1LE package. SRM kept pulling me back. Thank God it did, I'd have to kill myself for joining the masses of Camaro's on the road.

Z=unique

I guess the question for the OP is if you think you are missing anything without the sport package. Are you interested in the performance improvements? Are you autocrossing, tracking, or some such? Then I could really see the desire to have the sport package. If not, take that $9K and go on some driving tours. Yellowstone, Glacier, Acadia, Grand Canyon. Some cool stuff to see.

Earlier he had offered a $9000 difference on a base black 2014 370z and lots of folks here had discouraged me from that trade, saying it is essentially the same car. The sports package comes with the synchromesh,larger wheels and brakes and the spoiler.

My problem is that I am 66, do not have any more sports cars in my future and no other new cars in my money range appeal to me, not the Genesis nor the FRS/Subaru and I do not go for the General Motors or Ford cars, period.

I should just stay put with my car but another year or two and its too late to buy sports cars.

Not a problem.. You are not 66... In todays world your 56..... Than again I'm not a real doctor....

id do it, or go nismo.

OP, I'd do it. If you love the Z and plan on keeping it for a long time, why not? A $9,000 depreciation on a 4 year old car with 41k miles, plus getting an upgraded new version, sounds like a win to me. Good luck on your decision!
