lol.. no sti or evo is a high performance car... those are cars such as vette, viper, ford gt, ferarri, lambo, r8, 911, ect.. and performance cars are mustang, rx8, 350z, evo, sti

1.awd always wins froma launch and will win if they have close to the same hp
2. it basically comes down to top end when going from a roll
3. you need a roll model cuz no self respecting man would consider this racing or even care this much... hope you fall off a cliff

wow. bench racing...

my 7 year old son plays a similar game with his friends. they have these cards with cartoon monsters on them. the one with the higher numbers inflict more damage and eventually wins. of course, no actual monsters are ever needed to play.

my brochure says I have 306bhp...yours says 305bhp. woo-hoo! plus, I'm a better pokemon trainer, so I win!

No it's not. It got a lot of power, but it more like a cruiser type. Evo and Sti are different breed, made to race and no compromise for performance. To me that is a definition of a high-performance car. Z is a different story, it a lot quieter in the cabin, it ride very smooth compared to Evo and Sti, and it got more comfort features that Evo and Sti lacks. If you call Z a high performance car, then what is Evo and Sti then? Put a thousand into a Z, how much power you will get? Put the same amount into Evo and Sti, how much you think you gonna get. I have own both cars that why I'm saying this.

If you still disagree, why do you think there are more Evo and Sti in competion race like time attack and so on (except drifting). Sure there are Z too, but how often does it get 1st place, 2nd place, or even 3rd place. How often have you see time attack in Tsukuba done in a Z? Mostly it just Evo and Sti.

If it would make more sense to you, I'll put it this way....Evo and Sti is like a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale while a Z is more like an Aston Martin Vantage. To me that what it seems like.

lol... evo's and sti's less luxurious than a 350z... either you have never been in a z or never been in an sti/evo... a z is not as comfortabe for long drives nor has rear seats. I agree they win alot of races but not stock... an evo is as fast as a gallardo but does a number on the gas tank compared to the gallardo and no 4cyl turbo car except a porsche is high performance. If the z came turbo it might actually be a high performance car like the gtr is.

Instead of us all internet racing, let's wait for the OP to come back and post the results.

Yeah, I wish our Z come with a turbo. Trust me, I don't just been in both cars, I owned both about 2 years for the Evo, and about 2.5 years for Z. Z is much more comfortable than Evo, I used both car everyday to school and when I change from Evo to Z, it's a big different. I drove my Z to TX 8 hrs straight and don't feels tired, as for an Evo, I don't even want to do 2 hrs in it. Everytime my friend ask me which one I like better, I just said if I want to cruise and pick up chick, it's the Z, if I want to drive fast, it's the Evo.

I don't really compared Japanese car to American or European because they have their own way of making cars (except for earlier when I want to give an image of what high-performance car is). With that in mind, their definition of sport car and high-performance car is different (maybe close, but still different).

your making it sound like evo's and STI's are freaken supercars compared to a Z, you do realize Z's are MADE for the race track also? and just because STI's and evo's finish better doesn't make them a high performance vehicle, I think your missing the point of what a high performance vehicle actually is, like racerfreak said, corvettes, vipers, ford GT's ect, those are high performance vehicles.
