I wanted the Recaros so bad, but the only cars locally that had them were silver and red.

Are the seats too tight for someone with a 38 inch waist?

You guys have a unique car. But let me ask this.

basically the only thing in PP is the suspension upgrade along with the 3.31 gears. Some different wheels and black mirrors.

If you don't track it, what have you gained for 2K? It's like the Z51 package vette guys always talk about at 55 mph

19" Wheels - Heavy as hell, too narrow (8.5" I think)
Summer Tires - Decent for the manual cars (Pirelli), garbage on the Autos (Goodyear)
Sport Mode Stability Control - Never used it.
Painted Mirrors - OK
3.31 Gears - Awesome
Upgraded Springs, Sway Bars, and brake pads. - Better than stock, but still crap
Front Strut bar - Looks cool, guess it does something.
Engine Cover - Looks cool
edit: No Spare tire - Sucks

yeah, it's not REALLY worth it, but I don't regret getting it one bit.
I love having the extra set of decent wheels, and the gears. The rest of the stuff I could do without.

I just make V8's look bad in the Mountains, exactly what I bought the car for, then again I work 20 minutes from the beginning of Tail of The Dragon

BTW, my 2013 has pulled almost 1.2 Gs by the built in g meter with the stock Suspension and tires, so it does do what it was designed to do.
Oh if you look, there are 2 in this pic

My 2014 has the PP, manual, leather int, conv pkg, etc., list price was 31,500 I got it for 25,400 so I don't think I paid $2K for it, but I do enjoy it!!!

You do not need to track your car to appreciate the benefits around the street. I can roll into those circle round abouts to enter/exit highways at 60 mph and have complete confidence that I will come out the other side alive. While the car still sits much higher than I'd like, it provides a much more rewarding car straight from the factory.

As a side note, I do not see why everyone hates the goodyear supercar tires. They stick like glue...but I live in Texas where it's usually hot. Also the sides of the tires protect the wheel which I really like. My wheels still look pristine.
