But as far as that Serious mods post, i can tell you this the STI has crappy handling compared to the Z. The EVO, and S2K are in the same league with very slight differences. But the Z for stock can out handle with the best of them.

Most may agree though that the EVO destroys them all as far as handling, i can vouch for that. Hence why i love to drive it when im not driving the Z!
I have to agree as far as the Evo goes stock for stock... that thing has the most amazing steering response i have ever experienced. You can literally say "no, i want to be 5mm to the left", point the car and go. Sometimes my IX would get a bit taxing on really screwed up roads simply because it would take an effort to keep it pointed in the right direction because it would react to the slightest change in the road surface but that felt great even when the going got rough. Why did i sell my IX MR in that case? It is a long story but in the end i am glad i did and i am enjoying the Z more vs. when i got my Evo. Hey, it might be due to the age thing (thanks to all that pointed that out, i will have to get back at ya with revealing pics of my various hot female comanions ) but it might have to do with something with the Evo being an extension of a compact shitbox vs. the Z being in a league of its own. I could probably try to explain but i'll spare you the "wall of text".

This is why I stop making threads.
Maybe you shouldn't quote posts that you do not have any contexts to comment about...and who "chased" anyone away from any board, you Maple-Syrup-slurping-wanna-be-gixxer rider? What you don't know is that there was about 4 posts that was deleted from this thread! So, not only are you quoting out of context, but you are a ridiculous failure yourself.

I stopped posting on this thread because it became argumentative and pointless...and I thought Dave the Mod killed this incendiary thread.

Now I'm back cause you wanna be a side-busting idiot.

My car isn't paid off... neither are my student loans... and I don't own a house or live with my parents... aka my money goes towards my living expenses. No, I am not going to put everything on a credit card and get more in debt. I know that if the time comes and I need to, selling a stock car is one hundred times easier than selling modded. And my warranty stays in tact. And I can't have a boy-racer look when pulling up to work each day...

Upgrading the sound system is fine, along w/ tasteful rims (Nismo), but anything else, in my opinion, is excessive. If I want a faster car, I will buy one. Stock Z is great the way it is.

I must confess... I have sinned, i replaced my antenna with the one from the RDX.

I've also reached the decision to go with Work Meister S1 3P. Black, polished lip.

2005 Enthusiast 6 Spd, bone stock with 26k, I bought it new and I just bought my first set of tires for it. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I paid it off last month and I'm keeping it till the wheels fall off. I love this car just the way it is.

2006 Touring 6spd Roadster. Got it in June of 06. It stayed stock until Sep 07 when I put on a nismo exhaust and a popcharger at about 9k. Now at 13k June 08 I just got nismo headers. I have 5 vehicles: 2 cars, a truck, a bike, and a jetski and they all have exhausts. For me, driving, riding or whatever, is nothing without the sound that goes with it. If I had a Honda Fit, It would probably have an intake and exhaust too, as ridiculous as that may sound. Not an obnoxious exhaust, but a proper sounding exhaust. I absolutely adore the exhaust note on this car even in its stock form. It's just too quiet for me. Believe me, I have nothing against modding or anything like that I just don't have the disposable income i used to. This car's job is to get me there and be fun to drive and it does those, and that's why I bought it in the first place.

By the way, what is FTW?
