If you can spare the 1200-1300 (if automatic) cheaper for manual then that made a huge difference for me. Its confidence inspiring knowing that LSD is working for you. The sport package has an LSD by default, drive someone's with an lsd vs yours with the open diff, you'll want it especially if you plan of doing a lot of track days. I knew once I did one track day I would be hooked.

I'll be doing a track day once a month probably for the next 4-5 months or as long as they have them. I knew this would be the case which I why I got the LSD. Good luck, btw if you're still on the stock tire size I went with 245/45/18 in front and 275/40/18 in the rear to replace the stock sizes and it has felt great ever since.
