Why????????? Why another worthless thread. FI is easier to mod than NA. NA costs a lot for power gains over 80hp. Figure out which one is an NA car and there's your answer.

i think the OP was saying the STI can handle more chairs and book cases, and bike racks and such.
where as the Z... the folding rear seats are a $2000 option you know.

potential for what? potential to look like a factory rice box with an airplane wing? or potential to look like a sleek sexy beast with chicks throwing themselves at you when you drive by?

STi way easier to mod... 5K can get you almost 100 whp , while for a Z you'd probably be looking at 10-15K for 100-150 whp. The fact that they come factory boosted means its easier to make them faster, however, if u want to go ALL the way (and your wallets are never empty) - I'd say the Z

is that right? if you want to go ALL the way wouldn't your wallets be always empty? or is this like saying something's bad for good? or sick for cool?

"my wallets empty." means you're loaded (with crap)?

I just can't get over how plain the STI looks and how similar it is to an EVO
Power aside I wouldn't get it for myself
