Is sport package a must?
 

I have a local dealer selling a new 09 Touring 6 spd in monterey blue with navi for roughly $30,000. Sticker is $37,365. I am very tempted to go for it, but wonder what I will be missing without the sport package. Is the syncro matching worth it, or just a novelty? How about ride and handling? Thanks...

syncro rev is overated imo...kinda cool but i never use it..i say just get the touring

Sport isn't really neccessary. The LSD isnt so impressive. The brakes are nice but not necessary. If you're getting the right deal, I'd jump on it.

it depends on what you want to do to the car if your going to mod it with a big brake kit, coilovers, swaybars and so on then no you really dont need the sport pack, but if you really don't plan on doing much to the car then yes the sport pack is worth it, looks better IMO plus better brakes and handling and has an LSD

I would say that the biggest reason to get the sport package would be for the 19" Rays. Personally, I don't like the look of the 18" standard rim, but you can always buy after market rims.

yes

I only problem with the sports package is that if you want to upgrade the spoiler to the s-tune spoiler the holes don't match up and need to be filled. So if the sport spoiler is a must go then so is the whole package.

Pretty much depends on what you want the car for. If you are going to mod the car to place all the items you don't get with the Sport Package, you'll wind up paying more for it than if you had just purchased the Z with Sport Package. However, if you aren't needing those upgrades and won't be doing them in the future, then get the base.

Is it "a must?" I personally don't think so. Is it worth it? Very much so IMO. The rear wing, 19' Rays + tires, brakes, LSD, & SRM is well worth the 3K.

i wouldn't have bought the car if it didn't have the sport package... so to me it was one of the key factors in my decision.

i like the akebono brakes. i like the 19" sport wheels. i also like the syncro-rev match not that i can't heel&toe, i like how it can quickly blip vs the delayed throttle input doing it with the gas pedal.

my G35C's throttle is quite a bit more responsive than the Z...

Yep -> and to all those who say SRM is not a must - you must either drive at the track too often or not drive at all :)

Totally worth it.. To the whole world the 370z is known for the SRM. I love how people bash the LSD, it actually DOES ITS JOB!!! What more do you want? A full 2 way clutch type racing LSD? To those who say the LSD is garbage and not worth it, go have fun hopping around on your 1 wheeler. The brakes are nice and sexy, no need to replace those, nice wheels and better tires. You can get a lot of money for them if you want to sell when you upgrade your rims.

Forgot to mention even if you do upgrade the sport package brakes you could easily sell those for $1300+ You should see how much the brembos go for off the Z and G from previous generation.

My Z has the LSD, but I honestly don't think it feels different in anyway than my base model felt. What's it actually supposed to do?!!

Spin both wheels. Which results in a lot more good/better things.

I have the Sport/Touring...its worth it.....plus if you plan on trading it holds alil more value....
