Perf pack GT: worth the premium?

[Budnr22]

Get it. It is worth it i think. I would rather have it and wonder if I really needed to get it than not have it and wonder if I should have got it.

But that is my motto for about everything, so everything I have has some features I don't need - car, TV, house, wife's car, etc. not the most responsible approach, but it is who I am.

So......get the PP and don't look back.

Also, I love my 3:73 gears

I mean, you could just buy a non-PP car and stick Brembo stickers on the calipers.....:lol:

yeah there are plenty of people on this forum that have done that.

The stock brakes are amazing. Overall the PP is worth the money with regards to what you pay and what you get, but it was not worth it to me. Stock brakes are fantastic, and I'd rather take my $2,500 into some actual performance dampers and a mean set of tires. PP springs are still way too soft, the p-zeros are horrible tires, but the brembos are cool.

I've said it in the other threads you're looking at about $7200 in parts alone and recently in think it was discovered that the dash and gauges are 1300 so if you were to want to build it later you're looking at $8500 just in parts. So yes the PP at $2500 is well worth it

I double clutch on my downshifts

Double clutching doesn't do anything, if you are not using the brake or gas pedal with the clutch to match your rpm to your speed!

You can actually do all that with applying the clutch once, otherwise you will loose so much time pumping the clutch pedal for no reason.

I'm loving my Performance Pack so far -- and I'm surprised by how many of my female friends compliment my wheels -- they really like the black snowflake wheels, which is about the only thing about the PP I was iffy about -- everything else about it is a must have. Some magazines aren't getting as good 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, but doing loads better in the handling and braking tests -- if the gear ratio sheet is correct, you really don't need to upshift to 3rd to hit 60: at 64 indicated you are at 60.8, factoring in the 5% calibration error, and 6687 rpm -- over 300 rpm before fuel cutoff -- IF that sort of thing matters to you...
