Any half decent driver willing to go at least a quarter mile on the road would totally smoke our cars, the 4.8 timeslip is no joke.

Spread evenly over a track. Although you might get a little burned at the corners, the center straight aways will always be tender and good to eat.
Enjoy!

How about adding a little BAM!

I've got an WRX 2.0 turbo Impreza guy saying he is going to kick my *** at the strip. He has a downpipe/ecu/pulley. Does he stand a chance? I've run a 13.78 on the Potenzas and now have a set of 295 toyo t1-s which I have not run yet. Those WRX's only have like 227hp right?

Thanks for the replies. I'll find out this weekend. I should be coming in around 13.5 with the new tires so we will see. He said he's not going to launch hard because he's afraid to blow his tranny. So, I'm not too worried. But I know those things with mods can get in the 13's pretty easy.

About 2 months ago, walking towards the car in a nightclub parking lot there was two girls and a guy around my age (mid-twenties) looking at my car up close. It just so happened an STI was parked 2 spots over. When I got to the car, one of the girls (the hot one) said "SUPER nice car!" and the guy asked me some of the usual questions about it (how do u like it, etc.). I walked over to the STI and looked at it's exhaust and the small group walked over too. The girls looked around and inside the STI and one of them said... "uhh, eww." the other nodded with a disgusted face.
I'd say I beat that STI that day.
STI no doubt is a performance machine. But that's about it.

If you bought the Z expecting to beat an STI right off the bat you'll most likely be disappointed. The Z may not perform as awesome as the STI stock, but close enough for how much better it looks than the STI IMO.
