05 rsx-s to 04 350z enthusiast

now the driving experience is a different story. rwd>fwd-enough said...
the torque difference is HUUUGE!! drive-a-bility...i love being able to pass traffic and not have to leave 6th gear
the exhast note on the z is amazing, and was half the reason that i had to have the car lol
i had the rsx lowered on tein springs, and still, as far as handling is concerned, it is no comparison-handling goes to the z.
finally, as far as speed goes, as i stated before i miss being able to rev past 8 grand
and surprisingly, with the intake, header, exhaust setup in the rsx, it felt just about as fast-minus the torque. the one time i took it to the track, i ran a 14.2 on my stock tires. as a matter of fact, i raced my boss' 05 z when i was in the rsx, and he beat me by 1 car from a stop consitently. From a second gear roll we were even.
Over all, i am very happy with my decision. The rsx was VERY fun, but the z is a much "true-er" sports car..
one more thing-my fiance is getting pissed because of all of the looks im getting from girls in this thing!
haha

Z is fast but not as good a daily commuter as the rsx plus 4 seaters.
Gas price is reaching 4 bucks a gallon.
2.0 liter v-tech kicks @sss.

How bout 2.0 liter v-tec with a turbo
That's what I'm getting rid of for the Z. I'm getting my money together in the next week or 2 to go get it. Paid in full. I got an '02 si turbo'd.
Good luck with the new Z. Hope its as great as I'm told.. RSX is a great car but upgrades are niice.
