Default Base + Aftermark LSD vs. Enthusiast

What would be wiser? To buy a base and put a LSD in, or just buy the enthusiast? I'd be drag racing alot more than autoxing so keep that in mind. TIA

LSD alone, aftermarket.

but IMO base to enthusiast is the best way to spend 2grand. HID, TCS, Home link, LSD, cruise control. I know Im missing more. its just stuff that makes a sports car, have a little sense of luxury.

Its up to you really what you want to do with the $$$ you save or not but...

if you want unencumbered raw performance then go with the base and aftermarket LSD. Or you could ask what does HID and TCS and HomeLink and Cruise Control add to a cars maximum sportiness or performance bottom line of being a pure drivers sports car?

I have a base model and have been thinking aftermarket LSD -
What brand(s) would you guys recommend? How difficult to install? Thanks for any info.

speaking from a limited perspective since I only have one "a Kaaz"
I think its awesome..but there are others now like cusco and nismo and later quaife.

its totally worth it to get one and adds a ton to the fun factor and fishytail ness ..meaning its always nice to have power going to both wheels!

all things being equal you would think so but then again an open differential works fine going in a straight line sooooooo..hard to say how much benefit or gain in quarter mile speed over the open diff ....it still boils down to a decent launch and hookup instead of just wheelspin.
