Why Did you get a 350z over a WRX STi?

I don't know if the no radio is standard or what but the one i looked at was used and had no radio (no places for speakers either so it wasn;t ripped out, it was from the factory like that)
Maybe there marketing told them most young owners would simply take out a cheap factory stereo and replace it anyways thus better to spend the money where those buyers want it most, performance?

just look at this picture, okay, you have your answer. There just isn't anything sexy to look at on the rice machine. If only the hood scoop and rear spoiler were bigger

The 350Z doesn't have McPherson struts.

The Z jus looked so much sexier! It'll literally drop ur jaw!


IF a 50 yr old person was walking down a street and saw the Z and STI, which car would u think that person would admire more? Let jus say the person doesnt know a whole lot about cars etc.

Already had a nice looking 4 door and wanted a 350Z to replace my aging 300ZXT. I also didn't like the cheap interior with blue inserts. Reminds me of the Colt we built in autoshop in the 80's for a cheap autocross car. The 300ZXT was 20 years old and had over 200K on her. Finding parts was getting a bit challenging. So time for an upgrade. Eventually, I'm going to take the $7K I saved and mod the car. I just want to wait until my basic warantee is up.

Now that we've fixed your 'grammer' lets fix your spelling :-D!

The new STi looks nice.. the huge wing has to go. It might lift off at 120 mph down the runway

Well, I bought the Z, dumped about as much money as a WRX costs into my Z, to make it fast, then bought a WRX 2 years later as a daily driver..

Because I didn't want a pizza box on the hood and a potato peeler on the trunk. I wanted another Z, a car with a long rich history, a classic. I doubt the WRX will ever achieve the status and acclaim of the Z.
