Sport Package Q?

snizzle · 04-16-2012, 06:43 PM

im in the market for a 370, and just wanted to see what you experienced Z guys thought of the Sport Pkg. I guess im just trying to convince myself the $3500 difference is actually a wise investment. i would more than likely change out the Rays, and wasn't sure how much of that $3500 was being eaten up by those in the upgrade pkg....

thanks alot.

most guys would get base + sport. the sport package i would say is the most essential package for the z. it's not just the sports rims that come with the package. there's the akebono brakes, the rear lsd, syncro rev matching, rear sports spoiler and front chin spoiler. but if you're planning to change most of those out anyways, then just get the base

+1.....

FYI time is ticking to get the sweet interest rates.

well not change out most of these, just the rims... and thats a possibly. i do like the spoiliers, front and rear, but saw those can be ordered for a total of $800

the sports package is well worth it imho. even if you sold the wheels/tires you can net 1800-2000 if brand new.

get the sport package unless you're going to change your brakes and get a rear diff later on.

synchro rev alone makes it worth the sports package

I don't see him saying anywhere he is getting a manual transmission.

thanks. i thought was probably the best bet to go for my budget, and just wanted to make sure if i spent that extra few thousand, that it would be money well spent.... i guess i kinda knew deep down it was the best route, but i just needed a little nudge from others who have it...

brucelidat · 04-16-2012, 07:15 PM

i wasn't aware SRM was only on the sport package

snizzle · 04-16-2012, 07:27 PM

svm?

brucelidat · 04-16-2012, 07:31 PM

synchro rev match

snizzle · 04-16-2012, 07:45 PM

ahh gotcha

USMCASA · 04-16-2012, 07:55 PM

listen to me when i say the syncro rev is worth the 3500 in itself. i've got 88k+ miles on the car with the original clutch, no slipping and pulls just as hard as when i got it with 59 miles on the odo. well worth it by far
