REVN302I believe it's certainly worth it. Just to be real, all of the modifications for the "performance package" you can do yourself or better. But lets get serious. How many people are willing to do this kind of work to a brand new car that's still under warranty. Here's the way I see it: the suspension modifications and the final drive ratio are things I will no longer have to deal with modifying myself. I've read that modifying a final drive ratio is easy and straightforward. However I don't care to do it. I think the 3.55 gear ratio is a solid compromise between performance and fuel economy.
As far as the suspension modifications go, I would really look into BMR suspensions anti wheel hop bushings they have. The demonstration videos look very promising.
I figured the same thing about mine when I bought it. 6 months of owning it later, I was throwing mods at it like crazy anyways. For $~2k, the performance packages are still pretty damned good and I got my fair use out of the components; still have some of them lying around for replacement if the need ever arises.I believe it's certainly worth it.

^^^ This, especially if you are like me and leased with no intentions of doing suspension mods. The 3.55 make a big difference over standard 3.15 with the 2.3I believe it's certainly worth it.

GT gets 6 piston brembos, Ecos PP get GT front 4 piston brakes with brembo compound pads I think. Regardless the brakes are very good, I recently put them to the test in Smokie Mountains. No fade, good linear stopping.Performance packs comes with front brembos right? Larger radiator in the V8 does the 4 get a larger Intercooler too? What is the upgrade cost 2K? If so brembos have to be close to that just for the fronts. And you get wheels and Tires larger sway bars gauges etc. My thinking was it was worth it and I got it on my GT.
Enjoy the car.
