Default 350Z is gone, Hello STi !

I loved the looks and handling of the 350Z, but the time came when it was time to move on. I traded in for a 2004 WRX STi w/ only 20k miles and ready to autocross !!! Wow these are so responsive/FAST!!! We get snow and will be nice to have room again for friends and family, things to haul. More practical for me as a commuter and to race.

Thanks to everyone for answering my questions and I will miss this Great forum!!

Mark

Trader or Traitor? I guess a little of both!

At least he took the Subie over the EVO!

Not a bad purchase by any means.

what's wrong with the Evo? Evo handles better than the STi.

The Subaru is a smart choice for snow. Enjoy the safe ride.

I too have contemplated the same trade. Congrats to having the nuts to trade one of the most beautifully designed sports cars EVER for a weird looking but fast sedan. STi is a quicker, safer, more practical, less expensive to mod ride. Have fun.

If my Z gives me any more problems(3 trannys) I might just give it the boot and get an STi, throw on TBE, Accessport and a tune and I'll be good

I test drove an 05 STI was not impressed at all, it was actually a used one at the Nissan dealer where I bought my car, was actually modded intake,boost controler exhaust, had gobbs of power but the handling is way too numb no feed back at all, I would have gotten an Evo instead, better handling than the sti. Good luck with the sti. I would never trade in my Z for either cars, but I would love the Evo as a second car.

People ask if my car is a $40k+ car, and I say yes XD.

People have told me the STi looks like it's a 15k car. Lol.
