Wheels (volk), vlsd, and potenzas which are very sticky on the street. The base Z gets about .94g on a skidpad. A sport pkg 1.01g. Big difference.

Also, the 350z wasn't just a raised hood. The engine was redesigned to be the VQ35hr. Which the 3.7 is the bored out version of the same engine along with vvel technology. There were upgrades in interior quality as well.
118ft? I had no idea there was that much performance difference between the two braking set ups. I assumed it meant that the brakes would be fade resistant and would sequel when they were not properly warmed up.

Since this car does not have the sport package, can anyone recommend anything that would decrease the stopping distance without having to invest in a BBK?
