Who but an elitist would report himself?? ;)

tenkies, good choice on the sport model. Good luck finding one and when you do, you'll appreciate it.

Have you considered a Nismo? They are so sick looking, you get it all and more, that is if you don't care to get the Touring Pckg.

I'd argue that from a purely performance standpoint they're not "worth" the extra cost over a sport model, at least not at MSRP. Also the interior is a bit spartan if you like things like leather, decent quality sound, nav, and a backup camera (a very useful feature on the 370). If you're talking used then all bets are off.

I love my NISMO anyway though.;)

listen to duc. his mods are all homedepot :rock:

base AT with no paddle shifter =

Only because I can't afford PhotoShop.:ugh2:

All my mods are "stolen" from the classified lol:happydance:

Sports Pkg
 

Don't pay Msrp ! I paid about $1600.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned. The suspension is stiffer than base. Rougher ride.

Yah never mind the tires and 18inches. Just stiffer ride..!

SRM = sport no brainer
NISMO if you are going to stay stock maybe, but if you are going to mod it for track use definitely go sport. A lot of pricy NISMO stuff will come off for better aftermarket stuff from Stillen, Z1, etc.

First lets get out of the way that I really am kinda full of $h*t... However with all respect to Duc,

For track, the sport LSD (a.k.a. OEM VLSD) does not really cut it. I drive mine pretty hard and hands down my best mod, (with oil cooler a close second) is is a real LSD (I went with a Quaife from Z1). The sport VLSD is pretty weak and makes the tail end VERY unpredictable in over-steer (power-slide) situations.

Drive an OEM VLSD then swap to a real LSD then send rep to thank me cause it is a BIG DEAL upgrade. (probably about 1500 bucks installed and worth every penny if you drive hard)

We'll put you in the < 1% category that actually uses their Z the way it was supposedly intended to be used.;)

For most of us it's a non-issue, but yeah... I haven't had an opportunity to test the limits safely yet (i.e. at a track). For "spirited" driving on public roads my only complaints are the high oil temps and massive blind spots. I haven't run into brake fade or fuel starvation (yet).:eekdance:

If you need an LSD at all, you need something better than the sport diff.

I guess maybe the VLSD is of value if you drive in the snow.

I tested both and went with the base. 2 reasons.

1) I own a Civic Si and want to murder myself every time I hit a bump since the suspension is so rough. It's not graceful or smooth at all. So the base model Z felt soooo much more comfortable than the sport package for me.

2) I plan to eventually blow up the engine and tweak every living aspect of the car just like my previous 2 POS's. So the sport packages were negligible.

Ive got so used to SRM that it felt weird the other day i turned it off lol, but then agan my daily is also a stick without SRM so that helps...
To the OP, yes is worth it for 3k you get beefier suspension, SRM, Rays wheels, bigger brakes, grippier, bigger and wider tires, a spoiler (dont know if that applies to 15+ models and up) and a front chin spolier... did i miss something?
