A WRX not an STI is a better handling, braking etc car then a Z??
I can't back it with proof, but I do know a few STI guys who have owned WRX's as well. When I thought about getting the WRX after selling my Evo X. I knew I would suffer some handling loss, but asked how close it would be. I was simply told the only way to keep that kind of handling was with the STI. They are comparable in a 1/4 mile run, but when it comes to handling it's not quite there.

This is what I was TOLD, not what I have experienced first hand though.
