Is the Grand Touring Model Worth it?
well you can get NAV with Touring, but do the brembos really stop that much better, or is it the ususal you dont see the differance until your tracking, and sometimes brembos are known to sqeak like crazy

I, personally, would get the GT model strictly for looks. I really like the look of the new rims also.

If you don't track your car you'll be hardpressed to notice any difference...and if you do track your car often, you'd probably be better off buying your own BBK. I tend to think its a good medium for those that "may" want to try tracking their car eventually or if you are somewhat of an aggressive driver that consistently pounds on the brakes in daily driving.

The Enth Ed with an great Aftermarket BBK is probably the best "Sports Car" option for the lowest price. You can source an '07 and Install the Kit for the Price of a Touring Ed.
If you want all of the bells and whisltes, the GT is your cup of Tea.

Of course it's worth it...to me.
Whether anything is worth something is completely subjective, so I always scratch my heard over such questions on a forum. To me it was, so I bought it, but I understand if anything other than a base isn't worth it to another buyer.
So tell us, is the GT worth the added cost to you? Nothing else matters.

If there was a GT in 2004, I would have definitely opted for it. I had a couple of occasions where I could actually feel brake fade on mountain descents and once around town. Stock brakes are pretty good but it's always nice to have the extra power in reserve even if only tapped on rare occasion.
daily driver go with the luxury of the Touring.
How often u gonna be running it at the track? If u got a lot of race days planned go with the track model.
But touring will be better in the long run for the resale value and I also like having some luxury in my sportscar. best of both worlds

You can improve your braking tremendously by just putting on better rotors and pads. For example, power slot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. You'll see pretty much the same performance as the Brembos on the Z. If you want, you can get some stainless steel braided brake lines too. Paint your calipers and next thing you know, you have a bada$$ brake set up for a fraction of the cost of a BBK.
