Is the LSD worth it really?
I'm thinking about buying a 2006 Base model Z... I really really wanted HIDs and now that theyre standard the base seems like the way to go. I know the Enthusiast offers the LSD and some traction control devices, but I am wondering... is the LSD worth it?
I plan on using the car mainly as my second "toy car" and taking it to the drags on occasion, but not doing any road racing or auto-x of any sort. So I ask you... Does it matter that I get a base instead, does the LSD make THAT big of difference.
Thanks
Also .. relocate this thread if needed.

I can’t tell you which model is best for you, but I can tell you the most popular models with 350Z owners.

if you arent racing/doing high performance driving why you need LSD?
LSD is for putting all the power to the ground on both wheels...
I have VDC disabled and running just with stock LSD
I am in south eastern PA and you can come and check out my car if you like...
thx

and ricers get cooked into legitimated tuners here

Well no ... I'm not a non-modder. I mod... a lot. I will likely have all N/A bolt ons on this car (less cams) within 18 months from purchase, probably stock wheels but better rubber and suspension upgrades too. I just plan on it being a street car mainly with the occasional (once a month or so) drag race day.

Well consider this, the Enthusiast model is priced as over $2000 more than the base. If traction control and cruise control are not important to you, I would go with the base and just upgrade to an LSD... if you even feel you need one. The parts/labor will be a little less, and you have choice of what LSD to get. In the end you could save some money and have a more agressive LSD than the factory one the Enthusiast comes with. I have the base and plan on purchasing the Nismo LSD sometime soon.
Also, I see you are from PA. You might want to check out Concordville Nissan. Look it up, right near West Chester on 202. Those guys are great. Gave me a huuuuge deal on my base model. I walked out with the Z for just under 26000 (Base model remember). Their service department is top notch as well. Ask for the salesman Tony, he was a real nice guy. And if you do end up going to Concordville, tell them to throw in the Nissan factory car cover for no charge. They will..
