It's all preference and what you're looking for. If one was "the best" they wouldn't make 5 models..

If you can afford the Track, I highly recommend it. The stock wheels are by far (IMHO) the better-looking of any of the others. The Brembo brakes do an excellent job of stopping the car from high speed over and over again, and when things get hairy, 100-0 can more important than 0-100.

If you plan on driving the car hard, get the Track. That's why they made it.

gets sticky, street racing track will do it. for all out competitive racing, some of the parts that your paying for arent as good as aftermarket parts. this basicly includes brakes and rims. there are rims out there that are lighter and wider. and there are brakes that stop shorter with even less fade; they also cost more to upgrade.

also if you damage a track rim, your screwed, only one place to get them, most private parties selling track rims are selling sets of 4, and a single track rim from the dealer is like 1500$.

if your going to modify but plan on daily driver, its enthusiast or performance IMO. straight up all out performance, base.

luxury is obviously touring.

out of the box performance is track.

but base + LSD + rims + brakes will likely be a few grand more than a track (1000 + 3000+3000 +26000= 33000) sorry base would be cheaper but with those modifications it would be able to outperform the track. you would be missing the stuff like xenons, cc, VDC, and homelink; but only considering performance parts.

hope that helps.

IMO to run hard on the street go for the track. That's what I got. The stereo sucks but you want to replace that anyway, leather seats suck so the cloth in the track are better and the brakes are smokin'. The rims are light and look great, just keep it off the curbs cuz they are expensive (bragging rights too)...decide what's most important to you-mine will see track duty on open track days.

C'mon, dude, you're embarrassing yourself. Do some research. Don't ask for it to be handed to you on a silver platter.

no touring gets the upgraded sound, and is also the only model with leather seats, power seats, heated seats and mirrors.

also this statement

leather seats suck so the cloth in the track are better and the brakes are smokin'
is a bit off track, while the leather seats have their drawback(weight) I do not think anyone thinks they suck once they sit in them, particularly on a cold winter morning.

and the brakes... according to testing they provide 3feet shorter stops from 60-0 over 10 or 20 stops, and 5 feet when you bring it to 100-0. Im not so sure that difference is gonna be winning any races.

better for sure, but not like you have glue under your tires.
