If you're planning on upgrades short of FI then a Z is a waste of money (in the sense you're thinking). For under $1500 an Evo IX can run 11's. If money isn't an issue, then the Z is an easy choice (unless you need four doors). I'd sure as hell have a Z if money wasn't an issue.
These fucking threads have been beaten to death... all it takes is a test drive of each to make a choice.
And I'd realy like to see that Forester take an '07 in the 1/4 or on a track... that damn thing doesn't stand a chance. All it has is a slightly quicker 0-60.

Sure, they do it NA, but they have an extra 2 cylinders and 1.5/1 liter of displacement on top of the Evo and STI (respectively). So next time, try doing a bit more research before posting.
Mahalos.

The Z is a totally different car from those others. Again, it depends on whether you want power and practicality, or complete sports car with little practicality. I chose the Z because I don't haul people, or stuff. And when bad weather hits, I can take my girlfriends Chevy Blazer. Without her car, I would have never made it through the winter...we got hit with a freak snow storm that dropped a foot of snow in one day

OP-go test drive all 3 and see which one you like best. You are asking a 350z forum and the majority of them will say get teh Z. But if u are looking for something to haul others around or a bit more practical... then the Z isnt for u. If u are going to upgrade and if money was no object then get the Z. If u want pure cheap speed and power then get the Evo. I myself am not a fan of the Sti. Looks wise both the Z and the Evo look great in their own way but I think ther Sti is just plain fugly.
PS if u want something that will blow the doors off any z,evo,sti, or prancing horse then get teh RSX. Vtec FTW!

Not to mention faster, looks better, and is RWD.

how do you figure the z has more potential? with as much money as it costs to get a Z tt'ed and in the high 11's range.....you can be deep in the 10's for just as much....and we arent even faster stock....ive seen a stock evo 9 run a 12.9@105 with a 1.68 60'.....which brings me to another point why do u consider rwd better than awd? i dont think we can pull 1.68 60' on our cars...not really even with slicks....but yea we do look better....please dont bulls*** and hype up our cars for no reason man

When the lease on my sentra specV was up, I thought about the Evo and the STI. But one thing that always bothered me about the sentra was that it felt like a non-sports car that had been "sported up" by upgrading the engine, transmission, and the suspension. For my next car I wanted something that felt like it had been designed as a sports car from the ground up. The evo and sti just seemed like they were designed along the same philosophy as the sentra. I was also attracted by 2 seats, after getting tired of driving people all over the place.

Give it up . . . your evo is fugly! Z FTW!
