Well, I was in the same boat before, but here is something I came up with

Evo-handles great, good acceleration, cheap interior
STi-FAST, good handling, FUGLY
Z-do I need to explain? Most people on this board are thinking the same, and I never regreted getting the Z~!

 

Read my post about me taking my Z to the track for the first time. I use to think the Z was a little too slow, not anymore.

Why are you guys splitting hairs over if this car is slightly quicker than that car? Get the car you really want. Truth is, put a better driver in the slower of the two cars you might be considering to buy and I bet the driver with some track time would beat you in the slightly faster car.

 

i keep seeing people saying used Zs should be available at under 25k. i've never seen one for that price...at least online.

 

Keep in mind two things about the test. One, the Z is tested with the biggest crap tires avvailable I think and, two, a skidpad number does not indicate handling ability. Also, AWD is slower in the dry pavement than RWD. That's pretty known. If it were wet around a corner the EVO would laugh at the Z. But not in dry weather. Also, on the top end, 60 and up, Z will pull. From a roll, without the EVO dropping 5 grand, it will be very close. If the EVO uses the AWD to launch, he will out-accelerate the Z but at the expense of his drivetrain.

even Mimi on The Drew Carey show looks better than a Evo or Sti

 

Buy a 6MT Z350 Machine and you will have no regrets. Make the mistake of not buying the Z and you'll always wonder what if? This car is fast! Sure a couple of cars out there are faster. That will always be the case with just about any car. but so what. I think most of'em are ugly and the rest are too much $. The Z is a special car. Not beacuse I own one, I thought that way before I did. It's rare that your expectations are exceeded in a product but the Z did. it smacks your soul. Those other cars make me wanna fart. Join the cult buddy. Trust Me...

 

A wise man once said: "There will always be a faster car, bigger boat, hotter chick. Make your decision and be happy with it."

I really don't understand the comparison of a two seater sports car to the 4 seater sports coupes. Its not all about HP and who has the fastest car on the street. When I hear that stuff I gotta think - grow up!

 

Of course you don't see those prices but believe me thats what they go for. People list them high...can't sell them for months because people would rather spend a little more for new. They end up moving them for much less than listed. If you cant get a used Enthuziast for less than 25K then you are doing something wrong.

 

hell if you cant get a base brand new at this point for 25 you need to work on your haggling skills.
