Can DSC be added to a base model?
Hi, I'm looking to pick up an 2004/2005 rx8, and due to budget was looking at a base model. However, I was wondering if the DSC can be added afterwards or is this cost-prohibitive? I live in socal, so I'm not 100% sure that I really need it, but just checking all of the options.
Thanks!

Even though you live in a generally nice weather environment, ahem like me, you see it work on dry conditions or the occasional rainy days. I've read where it has saved a few people's cars here on the forum. I'm sure if you search you can read on many members' stories about the benefits of dsc.

GolferJim--- Anyone who knows how to drive and lives in the warmer climbs, should have no problems with a non DSC car. I've drivin a 67 911's Porsche for years with no problems, you've got to know your and the cars limits. I've drivin a 8 with DSC and must say that it made me utterly fearless, so you'll have do weigh the pros and cons and make an educated decision. Good Luck

I agree with Grapes...I live in Toronto and my RX8 doesn't have DSC. I went through the Winter last year and another winter is here...so far, no problem. You need to know the limits for each road condition and respect them.

I had searched allready and saw some of the discussions about the DSC. It's just that I can get a super deal on one without it. I think that I'd prefer to get one with it if I can't add it later.
Thanks for the input.

One nice thing about the Sport package is that you also get the upgraded headlights. It's not so much a Sport package as it is a safety package (unless we're talking A/T).
