I miss my car :(
 
Been almost 3 weeks without my car now since the accident and they're saying up to a month still :( Im driving a shitty Cobalt LS I hate it. ugh makes me appreciate my car so much more though.

Which brings me to a question, the other day someone asked me why I didnt buy an STI for the money I paid for my 370z, and I know why, but it was hard to justify to him. I mean obviously looks is one huge aspect but performance wise I wasn't really sure how they stacked up, I know as far as 0-60 and qtr mile theyre not too different but on a track I really dont know.

How would you justify?

When is your Z going to be back from the shop?

Yeah...Me too...Mine's been in the shop for 1.5 weeks and probably won't be done til early next. Don't feel bad on the rental...I have a POS Town Car!

I stickered it up though and it Does feel faster....:-)

Nice ModShack ;P I hope its going back to the rental agent that way. It's amazing what a little Fluff Performance upgrades will do. I hear the chrome plated 6" drain pipe is good for another 268 HP....

yeah are you going to actualy leave the sticker on it? LOL

Does your stickers add 10rwhp? If so where can i buy

Here's how you justify the Z over the STI.

- The STI is fun on the track, the Z is fun on the track and EVERYWHERE else.
- You can fit 325's on the Z.
- The Z has an infintely better interior.
- When you show up to a place with nice cars you dont have to say "no no, its the fast version."
- The Z doesn't look like a Mazda 3.
- The Z's gearing doesn't completely suck for the highway
- The STI with a big turbo struggles to hold itself together at 400whp and suffers lag. The Z lives happily turboed at 400whp and has no lag.
- The Z doesn't understeer everywhere.
- You can put nice wheels on the Z with nice offsets.

Went for a ride in the new STi as an auto-cross instructor, it had good power once you waited for the turbo lag to go away but by then it was too late to use it. It understeered like a pig. The Z was 1st in class and 6th overall out of 80 cars.

Socal, the repair shop say they cant give me a definitive date for when it'll be done. They know it will be 2 weeks for the actual labour. But thats when they actually get the parts in, and because its so new, who knows how long that will be.
