LOL. I have to admit that is pretty cool. Why not ignore all the 350Z drivers here. Then you could talk to yourself.

I only ignore ignorant people (particularly fanboys), regardless of what they drive. I've dropped the ignore on just as many STi owners as I have Z owners and mind you, I've owned both vehicles in comparison here.

man i make a thread saying to PUT LOOKS ASIDE!!!!! and what do these people do talk about the daym wing. well aside from a few very helpful people the rest were just useless and some very idiot rants on how a '89 nissan is still running after 222000 miles. WHO THE HELL CARES?! i doubt if i get an STI or Z i will be driving it for 222000 miles. come on be serious.

N next if you need a car to get girls then u must be a pathetic individual who has no game and can't get a girl on your own. You need a prop or a toy to ring them in because you lack the skills needed to get a girl.
Man you can get a girl riding the bus or riding the train, in a hoopty or whatever. And if u can get a girl only with your Z then she is a golddigger n will leave your *** in 2 seconds if something happens to it.

btw i've seen subaru's drifting and everything u can still have fun with an STI. I've also seen the new limited STI n i don't really like it. I miss the wing. IT'S WHAT MAKES A SUBARU A SUBARU... lol

Besides least yall forget the STI is a FREAKIN 4 CYLINDER gettin 300hp n 300tq and it isn't a 100lb civic. Besides the new STI is projected to have a flat 6 with over 330hp maybe even 400hp and come in both sedan and hatchback.

SUBARU ALL DAY!!!

sorry for the rant but that guy bashing subarus get me a lil heated.

you should get the G35 so you can get the best of both worlds.. AWD with a good top end power like the Z. Modding it is a little easier then a Z but a Z is a sports car and G is more of a luxury so.

Also, what do you expect in a 350z forum? If you posted this thread in the WRX forum i can tell you this now, most people will tell you to get the wrx and not the 350z.

It kinda looks to me that you already made up your mind of which one to pick.

that is very true. the evo looks like crap on the inside even compared to the regular STI. you made a good point before but i didn't kno it was be that ridiculously biased. so a Z is better then a M3 now 2 please.

N to the guy who said he gets out of he Z lookin all nice at work. I hope it's not in the business world because uhhhh those guys drive cars like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Lexus, Porche, etc. Not a freakin Z so they would laugh at u just as if you would have driven up in an STI.



That car is HOT i don't care what anyone says.

I've driven both, STI is fun, but Z is much more fun. The STI gears wrap out too quickly.. I felt like I was shifting every 2 seconds... If i was still 16 I'd love this car.. I like the Z because I'm not into driving something that looks like a micomachine.. plus it has the VQ engine. The Subaru engine hasn't been on the top 10 engines in the word list for the past 12 years running like the VQ has... Z wins undoubtedly

Uh...I resent that comment.

I know plenty of professionals who are big Z fans and own one next to their commuter or "status" vehicles.

If you see it as "just a freakin Z" you should probably look elsewhere.
Nice knowing ya....NASIOC is a good impreza site. See ya over there.

sorry sir i believe u miss quote me. i did not say "just a freakin Z" i said "not a freakin Z" as in these professionals do not drive to corporate offices in a 350Z. which u have just proven my point. they may have a Z for liek weekends or after work but i am quite sure that is not their daily driver. That was my point. I apologize for confusing you.

Threads like this give the Z community a bad name, everyone always says the Z is better because "youll get more chicks." Please. if you need a specific car just to get women then you've got bigger problems. There both good cars. I had a WRX I've driven STi's on numerous occasions, I'd rather have the Z because I like it better and I like the way it drives better. Nothing wrong with the STi, the Z just feels right for me. Plus you can get a Z for cheaper than an STi.

But putting looks aside and based strictly on performance, and overall driving which would you choose the Z or STI? i've driven a WRX but not a STI i just kno they accelerate like a bat out of hell. Amazing cars

Yea tought winter up here in the northeast! its was 71 degrees out yesterday!

okay... well coming from a sti

i ask you this...
even if we told you to get a sti or the Z ( most likely a Z because this is a Z forum) it wouldn't change a fact of which car you really want

so really your just asking questions to get opinions that won't do you any good. And it seems like you just LOVE the sti for all the qualities that fit your needs. awd, wing, looks, turbo, sedan. SO go get it

the way you approached the topic in a Z forum, your going to get these responses byus (Z community) why we got our Z's and why we dont have this car with wing/awd/turbo

BTW. when i left my sti, i thought i lost the best car there was. But after i got my Z, it totally changed my perspective on NA cars and just cars in general. the Z has a look thats definately unique in all sorts. the sti is a good car to.

so make your pick and stop juggling off forums because im sure you posted this in Nasioc and your probably getting the total opposite responses because you know why? those guys own sti's and we own Z's
