Spank? Evidently your friend is misinformed. Similar 0-60 times/Quarter mile times w/ a base Z, depending on how good a driver you are, you "should" take this one. Direct him to the new issue of DSport, the base Z put down better times than both the EVO and STI. Also while your at it, tell him to take his matchbox rally car back and get something that men drive, not a zit faced teenager drivin, turbo'ed family car.
