From what I'm seeing they are high 20's new, where as the base + sport (a must) Z's I'm finding I can get for high teens/low 20's. I'm not into the G's at all, and she's not into the style as much. Yes it will ultimately be hers, which is why I'll just trade in my Evo now and get her the car she wants, especially since I don't plan on keeping it and her car will be much less money. Why pay for a car I'm just going to trade is kinda the thought process.

Obviously it had a back seat too but neither WRX back seat was really ever used so it was no loss. The Z handles better and the no drop off after 5500 rpm is nice. Its nice to feel pull to redline. It was a torque monster though! But with RWD you don't need it. You can have RWD fun even at stock TQ. And from dyno's I've seen the 2.0 isn't a TQ monster either.

Just a boost controller and a midpipe will get me over 330whp/320wtq in the Evo. My STI had over 400. The Evo is stock now as much as I like fast car's I'm not going to put money into something that I'm just going to get rid of, you know?
