Sport package questions

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.

Sorry for asking but never did know what is the LSD for? How does it work and how does it benefit one with LSD?
