I can assure you, The Z (stock) will beat a stock WRX all the time (look at the base numbers)... BUT the WRX will have an edge in the winter on snow covered roads...
Gotcha

stock vs. stock with equal drivers the z will win at any speed from any speed. my friend has an 04 wrx, and when we were both stock it was always easy to beat him. now that we are both modded it is a much closer race from a roll, and with a good launch he could probably always take me off the line.

+1 stock Sti or Evo given both good drivers Z will win ever time! From a dig the Sti can be hard to beat but from a roll no threats if the Z driver is at least decent at shifting and not granny shifting. Evo in stock form will get caught from a dig at around 100-120, again depending how good of a shifter the Z driver is. I've caught an Sti around 135+ from a dig. Good figure!

An Sti can win against an auto 350z, but against a manual it's the other way around. Giving the both are equal drivers and again. From a dig it takes a 6spd Z up to 130+ to catch a Sti but from a roll a 6sp Z will win.

On top end speed the 6spd manual is faster than the auto due to the gearing, including dragstrips. That's been proven so many times! Don't get me wrong an auto is fast down low but when your talking about speeds of 110+ that's when the 6spd will shine over the auto.
