don't listen to what some of the people on here say, they are just biased and ignorant people who think they are 2 steps ahead of the game cuz they have 2 less doors. not to mention that most think the Z is a F430.

performance has nothing to do with the number of doors ! congrads on the new car. I absolutly love the STI and would take it over any Z ANYDAY. the Z33 is nothing but a JOKE as a "performance" car compared to the STI, specially when modding potential is considered.

drive an STI and you will understand why. preferably one with a BOV and a catback. The car is basically an insanely fun vehicle to drive. The exhaust note is by far my favorite thing about the car. killer traction, extremly short gears, insane acceleration, awesome brakes, sharp and precise steering, great handling, aggressive ride quality, back fires, bov sound.... the list continues !
overall, its just one sick car that will make you smile EVERYTIME u drive it.

These forums were great for me over the past 2 years, but the time has come to move to the STi forums, where the real powers at.

PEACE
Bye

I wouldn't jump into conclusion on that. VQ35HR's responds very well to mods. On top of that, FI vehicle's life span is far less than the NA. Yes, STI's are fast, but if you look at the maintenance aspect of ownership, STI will undoubtedly cost more in the long run.

i'e been driving VQ for 6 years, 3 of which has seen 12 lbs DD. I know how these engines respond well to mods but at what cost? the VQ35HR is a GREAT engine but mod for mod, the STI is easier and cheaper to make fast.

350z = Sports Car
STI = Rally Car

I used to think of Sti/Evo's as "family cars with a hairdryer" / "fast sedans" like some of those who arn't really fans. But then I realised I was just becoming one of those closed minded people who think their car is all that and a bag of chips, without any respect for anyone elses car.

Open mind ftw ?

Whenever a r32, r33, r34, supra, mr2, sti, evo, 350z, s2000 rolls into work I always chat about the two cars with the owner, admiring features of both. I have no issue accepting someone else's ego and car are bigger and faster than mine... so oblivious is Jerry.

^ +1

some people like to twist the facts in their favor. reality is that both cars go for the same price, one that can afford the Z can also afford the STI. no need for all that. give credit where its due !
