Even if you're not, add up the rays, tires, bbk, spoiler, LSD, euro shocks, chin spoiler and see if they sell for more than $2600 in the for sale threads. Then you keep the syncro and sell the car for more money one day down the road. It's a no brainer and anyone that thinks a base is better is just

Yeah but then you have no spare parts.

I'm not sure those components sell for $2600 more than base components anyways.

i can tell you that i know how to heel and toe 2nd nature, but SRM on this car is a nice feature to have since there's throttle lag when you want to blip.

with the SRM, there's no lag.

Everything is relative, I think the answer to this question depends on if you are buying new or used as well. I was in the market for my Z and I looked at many different deals both sport and non sport.

I ended up purchasing a base model, The reason being is the price. I bought my 09 base model with 40k miles, 20inch black wheels and stillen intakes for 17,800. As far as the sport models were concerned I didnt find any for under 21-22k. This means I saved about $4,200.

In the month that I have had the car I have installed a number of mods including a ksport coilover system, and an exhaust that I got killer deals on which ive spent $1200 on thus far. I purchased a new vlsd for $300 which I will need to spend some more money on parts to install but overall I am very happy with my purchase and wouldnt choose a sport for 4K more.

Btw I love rev match downshifting myself as I have done in my past 2 350z as well in my G35S 6MT

To me the base was the way to go
