performance difference between no sport or sport package

SS_Firehawk · 11-13-2013, 03:51 PM

2013 has stiffer dampers. List includes, spoiler, front lip spoiler (under the bumper), upgraded brakes with hardened lines and GTR brake fluid, synchro rev match for manual trannys, viscous differential, and forged Rays wheels as opposed to the base cast wheels. It's a great buy if you are looking for those things in your car.

It will cost you a lot more than the $3k the sport package costs to piece together the aftermarket equivalent.

Plus you cannot bolt-on synchro-rev matching...

If you EVER plan on turbo-ing it or supercharging it. You don't want the auto. Besides that, awesome transmission!
(Also, every auto comes with revmatching, that's another reason why it costs more)

And try to get a 2014

Yes agree with DEpointfive0, definitely get the 2014. The price has dropped for 2014.

I bought base after driving the Nismo. Not sure about others, but I am not into track driving and thought the suspension for normal street and daily driver was too harsh for me. Bought an aftermarket spoiler and that's it. The base brakes are perfectly good enough for normal street use. I really depends what driver and what your plans are.

The sport is awesome, and you get synchro rev matching on the downshift with the auto. I got the touring too to get the nav.
