Default Some newb questions

Hi everyone,

I'm in the market for a new ride, and fell in love with the looks of the 350Z with the NISMO wing, cat-back, and the body kit/graphics don't look half bad either. The other cars I am considering are the 2006 Subaru WRX STi (comes out in the fall), the 2005 Roush Stage 1 Mustang GT, and the Z (either Performance or Touring if I want leather, from what I've learned about them so far). As you can see from my list, I really like factory-modified/underwarantee, unique, cars. Anyways I have a few questions:

1. Looking at the specs of the Zs, why do the 300hp 35th annv and Track models have LESS torque than the 287hp engines?

2. Is there a redesign scheduled for anytime soon? I think the Z has been out for 3 (?) years, and if they are going to redesign it anytime soon that would be something else to consider.

3. Goes with the previous question; any known changes for 2006? And when does Nissan usually release their model years, late fall? I'm a hardcore Subaru guy, so I have a lot to learn about both the Mustang and the Z that I'm considering.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I'm not gonna answer your questions. They have appeared here in this forum over and over and over from many other writers.

I am going to recommend that you test drive all these cars over and over and over until you know in your heart which car will make you forever happy.

+1 for the test drive. I had my heart set on buying an evo VIII for over 2 years. When I test drove the Z for the first time it changed all that. Proud Z owner ever since. Drive all of these cars and buy the one that you like the best
