You can easily recoup most of the $2628 or whatever simply by selling the stuff back out in the market. This is not a jab to you in any way, but I'll never understand why people won't/don't want to get the sport package with the Z.

Even if you've got a base model, you can still tag it as a "sport package" when you decide to sell your z.

Sport. Its well worth the cost. Especially if you plan to keep it relatively stock.

I have sport and specifically went for that and MT and Navi. I'm lovin it!
Lots of comments on the wheels, and it'll stop on a dime!
19's are beautiful if I don't say so.
Like another poster said, you get the best upgrades and they're stock. If you want to sell the car later (no one keeps a car a lifetime) then you've got the best package to sell.

Having said that, I would still go with the sports package.

The cheapest BBK out there(which is Nissan sport brake) will cost you 2K already.

Sport.

And no I didn't read your post, just the title.

synolimit · 05-13-2013, 10:44 PM

Lol wow that about sums it up, thanks guys. And yeah I guess it is worth it. To buy lighter wheels (and not by much) I'd have to pay a pretty penny. Plus the tires I want are an arm and a leg too and I'm sure these will be ok for some time. Buy the time I do spend money on upgrades ill be well over the $2600. Does anyone else wish you could pick and choose a few less options?? I hate big bulk packages in the end.

Haboob · 05-13-2013, 10:50 PM

Honestly, I don't. I like all of the options that the Sport Pkg. came with.

Chuck33079 · 05-13-2013, 11:34 PM

It's far cheaper to buy the sport package than to piece it together after the fact. I honestly think all zs should come with the sport package.

Amuse370z · 05-14-2013, 12:01 AM

Unless you live in Canada, I don't think it is worth $4000CAD.

To be 100% honset, I regret not getting the Sport. I have a base that came with the front chin and spoiler, and while i've upgrade wheels, I think I would of done it just for the brakes as the base ones do tend to fade.

Limited Slip Differential. If you want more details than that, Google is your friend

Frankly the open diff in the base model is about as useful

If you have any real need for an LSD, you probably won't be satisfied with the one that comes with the Sport pkg. However, for just a DD, it's no big deal.
