Turbo's don't have "instant" power. You'll only get power while in boost. Out of boost you gotta wait for the turbo to spool. Try a 3rd gear roll from ~2500rpms and you'll see what I'm talking about. With the Z, there's no lag in power. You step on it at any rpm, you go. You just won't feel it come on because it doesn't go from lag to boost... it's already there.

yea the SRT-4 will FEEL faster because its turbo. Zs aren't exactly 1/4 mile cars they do handle very well. Go test drive one and take it around some curvey back roads then u'll understand the difference btwn the 2 cars

I hate those little buggers
but damn they are quick. As for the Z, its all a matter of what you are looking for. RWD Sports car, or FWD Turbo sedan. IMO personal preference goes AWD>RWD>FWD.

Just stick with the SRT 4... your wallet will thank you.
You can test drive a car if you got a license.

If you can out-launch him, you'll have a small lead, but he'll close the gap quick and if modded WILL pass you. Depending on mods you might be able to walk him back out.

yeah, I've been looking for a Z under $20k for a while now and its either at ~70-80k miles or just beat to hell in general. (thats going for 6 speed man, dunno about autos
) but anyway I've given up on trying to spend less than 20k im at the point where im giving up about $26k

I cross shopped the STI. A bit more $ than the Neon, but just about as fast. Once you drive a perfectly balanced, RWD Z, you'll see the #'s even an STI can produce means nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love a fast car (and the Z IS fast, don't kid yourself), but the Z FEELS like a true no compromise sports car. At 1/2 the price, you're getting a car that can do the same lap times as an E46 M3. I know because it was another car I was cross shopping. $ for $, nothing could touch the Z (and it's brand spanking new!).
