why 17s. If you get non sportpackage I doubt you will feel difference from stock 18s with advansport tires to whatever your gonna run with 17s.

So I guess it just coming down to open diff vs vlsd.
Let me tell you they have different personalities. With an open diff you CANT really slide the rear around (you can but will be much harder than vlsd).
Im not saying you wont have fun with open diff but less fun. With open diff there will be Higher entry speed on a turn and lower exit speed. On a LSD lower entry and higher exit speed. With lsd you can start throttling it earlier after the turn than an open diff.
Pretty much open diff is for daily driving, cause when you track it you want more exit speed.

I dont understand why your gonna buy a Z and not willing to do a few HPDE events. Canyon Running your never gonna find out the potential of the car and the potential of your skills.

to conclude NON sport for serious tuners, and daily drivers
Sport package for Normal Z enthusiast that want few track days out of the year. Im not saying race. Its just better not to mess with anything stock if you dont have too.

Long post and I dont even have a Z yet. Haha, I know I was bored...
