Performance package

Performance package

A performance package is a set of functional enhancements to the driveline of a vehicle, sold and priced as a unit.

This package may contain one or more of the following enhancements
*Greater engine torque
*Greater engine power
*Lower ratio gears to enhance low end performance, now rare due to requirements for model specific emissions (smog control) and mileage (CAFE) certification
*A greater number of speeds in the gearbox, manual or automatic
*Clutchless manual transmission, usually including steering wheel "paddle shifter" controls
*Turbocharger or supercharger, perhaps with intercooling
*Cold air induction
*Dual exhaust system
*Special low back pressure mufflers, often with a distinctive (and sometimes quite loud) sound
*Special cosmetic badging, hood scoop, or grille color, not usually related to performance but making the presence of the package obvious
