I disagree with most of the above posts. The sports package can serve you just as well from a safety point as it does from the high performance. You get bigger brakes and wider tires which will help you stop faster in an emergency or get around objects quicker without loosing control of the car.

Aside from safety asthetically I like the 19" Rays better (and performance wise they are very very light for a dealer option 19" wheel) as well as the look of the fatter tires. The price of the sport package alone is worth the $3000.

Take the car to the track ONCE and you'll be happy you had the extra performance. Typically people focus on acceleration as performance but that is only one aspect - being able to go around the corner faster and come into the turn quicker are vital components as well. Going around the corner with more speed automatically gives you more coming out.

Lastly its a SPORTS CAR - the sports package is a no brainer (since this is actually a sports package and not fluff performance by increasing the size of your tail pipe or adding speed decals).....
