Default Allow me to introduce myself

Hello I'm cavallino33 I'm from campbell, CA. I traded my WRX for a magnetic black 350Z yesterday. (You may have seen my wrx to 350Z thread) I loved my WRX but the Z is just 1000 times better. Anyway I posted alot on clubwrx so I thought I'd find a Z forum. This seems like a nice forum with alot of good people and I'll enjoy posting here.

Heres some quick pictures of the car

Well every thing in the Z is much smoother. The WRX has ok performance but everything felt like it was laboring to perform well. The biggest differenct is the transmission, the WRX had a long throw, and was very notchy at times I would have to force it just to get into gear. The car had not been beat on or launched in fact if anything it had been babied. The interior and paint is much nicer in the Z. The andling is much better alot less body roll, and it has much more power, no more turbo lag. Oh and I almost forgot the most important thing, the Z isn't so sensitive to weather. The WRX felt slow (think civic towing trailer) in anything but cool weather, a side effect of force induction + top mount intercooler + tiney engine.

Welcome!
Thanks for sharing.
Pity you couldnt compare the Z to a WRX Sti version.
The WRX is ugly compared to the Z.
Enjoy it, mine is still only a few weeks old and it is by far the best I've owned so far.

cheers
