it seems like it comes down to the driver... there are videos on this forum of i believe 2 Z's taking a lightly modded STI from a roll

 

chrisle7220,

Sorry to hear your accident. I had the same thing happened to me a while ago. A lady cut me off in the summer of a wet rain. The body damage was identical as yours.

Welcome!

Tony

 

I have purchased many new cars. The Z was unusual in that it seemed to get stronger as I broke it in. It might take you a few thousand miles before you reach your Z's peak horsepower.

I am a former Mustang (289, 302, 390, 428 Super Cobra Jet) owner too. In my opinion, the Z is a better all-around and fun to drive vehicle.

 

First of all when your previous ride was putting 500whp and compare it to the Z. Off course your going to be disappointed. The Z only has 240 or so whp stock.
