Thanks.

I'm 50% color blind. I just have a hard time with lots of different pigments. Especially purple, green and blues.

Ah, I was thinking about how you ended up with a grey car with grey wheels and grey brakes but didn't want to come across as making fun of you haha.

I think this is the best way to build up a Z: the sport package is $3,000 roughly. So, you get a real LSD and sport package brakes for less than that, plus new wheels and tires which most people installing brakes and LSDs would be inclined to do anyway. You end up with a better package than the regular sport package, at least that is my thinking and why I got a base+touring.

I never thought of it like that. Funny.

You can sell half the stuff from the sport package and get more than $2000 for it. I don't know why people would waste time modding the brakes and LSD if they didn't purchase the package to begin with. I can only think of the following reasons.

#1 Impulse buy, bought the one that was available and didn't wait
#2 You couldn't afford the sport package
#3 You are really bad at math
#4 Car is a dedicated race car
#5 You have too much money

I had made the same mistake before.....

I wish I had gotten the sports package, but sadly I fell into category # 2

Now I have to save up and rebuild it piece by piece.
