I see 350Zs on the lots, in the papers and on the streets daily some people say thats a bad thing I like seeing people that like a nice sporting looking sports car, bc I damn sure do.
Not that the STi and Evo are not good fast cars they just take a while getting use to looking at them standing still, but they run like a striped ape!!
I'd love a STi or Evo if I lived in Colorada or Wyoming, but in the sun its the 350Z, 330ci or C5.

We lose torque up top due to the nature of the factory turbo. We lose no power at all (if I can ever find my dyno sheet from '06, I can show you how it keeps climbing until ~7250rpms).
The problem we have from a roll is our 5th gear (in the GSR and RS). Click the vid in my sig to hear what I'm talking about (that vid will also disprove your Z winning on the highway theory). The rpms drop way off since it's the overdrive gear, and it kills our >120mph speeds. With a larger turbo (even a modded stocker) that is a non-issue as there's more top end power to counter act that.
And modded? No way in hell.

If you're talking about the clowns that put an intake, cat-back and BOV with no tune then not only would you win, but I'd be cheering for your team as well.

haha you gotta love the evo/ sti guys that put cbe, intake, and bov's on their cars. ya when pegleg has his evo we would race (me in my sti) when we both were stock he would pull me untill we both hit our 5ths then i was able to pull back.

at least there is no trash talking on each car. you cant really talk trash about two very nice cars though. i guess now were just talking trash on the fanboys that have no understanding about cars.
im a huge fan of evo's. I was actually inteded to buy an evo9 instead of my new Z. But I knew the modding bug would own me and I just simply didnt want to go down that path again. I needed something that would stay reliable and would not break. And the Z being N/A kinda makes it stay that way lol...if I had the money to make an Evo fast, id have one of those too!

i wish i could keep my sti as well. all we have to do now is win the lottery. but i guess if i won the lottery i would get a GT-R and own the road. Well if im going to be a millionare might as well have the sti as a trackcar, a 350z dragster haha and a dd GT-R.
