My Z, brother's M3, and best friend's WRX w/STI treament
Some shots with my 5 year old sony cybershot, but I love our cars and decide we should do a little shoot. My new Canon DSLR and Poweshot are coming soon, Ill do a "real" shoot then. Enjoy for now. BTW my best friend didnt get a chance to paint his new bumper yet, a tire on the freeway ate his last one.

I'm not really much into the Subaru scene, but do the guys over there condsider it rice when a WRX has the STI wing & parts? I know for alot of the other cars that is... but from what I remember, STI is a parts company which would make it alright for WRX's to rock the parts.

I dont consider that rice.

I hate to admit it but that freaking SMG is fast as hell. The shift speed is unbelievable, it actually shifts faster than a 360 Modena. I know M3's dyno around 270-273 rwhp stock, but his car has AC Schnitzer full exhaust, its over $2000. Even still, the E46 M3 cabrio weighs a hefty 3700 lbs. ,my car is about 3300 with 263 RWHP. When we do highway runs in 3rd gear his starts to pull a bit on the top end and eventually paces away. M power for the win I guess, but he complains like hell about the lousy *** gas mileage 17 mpg FTL 
My buddies WRX is quick as hell too, he goes neck and neck with my Z but I pull on the top end all day.
