2013 With track pack or Brembo Pkg??

Dealer ordered me the car with Track Package, Recaros, and Tech pkg. 8 week delivery time.

Today I found a car same color only instead of Track package it has the Brembo Pkg, Tech Pkg and clothe Recaro seats.

Do think there is a big enough difference between the (2) setups to warrant waiting 8 weeks? I run the car at the track a few times a year....

Yes, it's worth the wait. The Torsen Diff, 3.73 gears, and added cooling will be real nice when running on track.
I ordered the same thing, and have a build date of May 15. I cannot wait until it comes in

seeing that you are actually going to track it (and be your dd??) probably worth the wait for the track pack. get that extra cooling to help your times and protect the parts on track day.

I drove the Brembo car today and I agree... I decided to wait it out for my car I ordered to come in. I drove with track pack and without back to back and the Track pack FTW!!!

Just curious as to what felt different...the differential or braking? Those are the changes connected most directly to the driving feel, unless you were zooming around and getting that oil temperature up

If you wanted to get the Brembo Package anyway then go big or go home. Even if you don't need it.

I felt the difference from a dead stop going thru the gears. The Track Pack car felt similar in a straight line to the Boss. Oddly, when we did a height check the regular Brembo car sat 1/4 higher than the Track Pack car. We checked this on a few cars equipped the same.

Wait for the Track Package. My '12 Brembo package with 3.73 is good but I wish they had this in '12. I can add the torsen, Boss oil cooler, and Boss radiator and have the same thing. If I traded the car in on a '13 I would probalby lose too much to make it worth it. I also really like the Yellow Blaze color and they no longer have it.
