Sport adds:
19" wheels
Viscous LSD
Akebono brakes
SRM
Rear spoiler

19" wheels
Viscous LSD
Akebono brakes
SRM
Rear spoiler
+wider tires
+chin spoiler
+gear indicator on tach.

The good news is that you can get aftermarket parts for almost all of the above except the SRM.

Just not at the same price tag, which is why so many people go for the sport package. Though if you are serious about drifting then this probably shouldnt be an issue.

Can you elaborate on this?

Does this throw warning lights?

I've noticed when I'm at the track, on a good launch with VDC off, the traction light will still come on and cut my power.

Will unplugging that solve that issue?

:eekdance:

True, which is why the SP is such a good value overall. For those turning the Z into a drift car though, most of the SP options get replaced with more heavy duty goodies.

The slip light will flash yes. It can happen even in a straight line, particularly in the base, or in either the sport or the base if you lift a wheel a bit in a corner.

Unplugging the module will eliminate the intervention and allow the base owners to do a full one-wheel peel :)

It doesn't cut your power, it just apply the brakes to slow your power...

Don't feel too bad, it's not like you can't get one installed. The sports package comes with a VLSD anyways. Won't do a single wheel peel, but it won't lock up under heavy torque in the corners. Not as effective as an LSD. Plenty of threads on LSD on this site. Should run you around $1,200.

Around town is not really the place to be trying any of this, please be safe and take it somewhere that you dont endanger other drivers.

Paul Walker taught me how to drive, I am all set!

Im pretty sure he was saying that he's going to spend thousands of dollars on performance parts so he can tool around town, not to drift around town.

Money well spent!
