The bottom line is that coming from a boosted car myself, when I test drove the Z and the rep said to cut it loose... I was left a bit dissapointed AT FIRST because of the obvious lack of that boost but with the right mods it can feel pretty quick. Plus you'll be stepping into a car that is more refined and you won't always feel as if you're heading to the prom as my wife always told me about my Evo.
