Sport package questions

actually i just spoke with the dealer they dont have the sport package anymore

. Many dealers have only 2012 basics now. I still want more info on it especially the lsd and handling if incase i do find one.

They can find one for you, trust me. I had to wait 3 days but they found the color w/sport package I was looking for.

I never drove one without the sport package, but the brakes are really good, the syncro rev match is something I thought I would turn off but I actually love it.

I think most people don't give the Speed Matching a chance. It took me a month of so to turn it on and leave it on. I absolutely love that feature now. For the 5 grand, you get a lot of bang for the buck. Plus, when you go to sell, the person will by yours first because it does have this package. Lastly, can't stand the way the base car looks without the rear spoiler...
Just my 10cents...

What color are the calipers on the sport package brakes? I read somewhere that they're red, but mine are gunmetal gray.

For 2013 it's red now

I began shopping for a Z with the notion that I wanted a manual with Sports package for the synchrorev. Salesman convinced me to drive an auto also. Loved it. Especially when I got stuck in rush hour traffic while test driving another manual. That reduced the value of the sports package.

The deciding factor was then the ride. I have back and neck problems that were in a flare up from the accident that put me in the market for a new ride. I could feel a substantial difference in comfort level between sports package vs base. Feeling that much difference after a 10 minute test drive was a real signal that longer drives would be a real problem.

So I went with base and love it. Only 1800 miles on it which isn't a fair review but as some one who has never owned a sports car before, find the handling and the brakes a thousand times better than anything else I have ever owned so I am happy as a possum in a pig trough.

I just picked up a 2011 with the sport package and I'm in love! In my opinion, a 370 without the sport package isn't much better than my 350. Sport package all the way!

I agree...It's the larger wheels that are very loud but look great. Also, I went with auto after driving both in Houston.
