I just searched my post history, I remember that now!
You got me, I'm busted! Yeah, we were talking about brakes and I said (sarcastically) that they're a HUGE problem on the street when you have to haul the car down from 130 MPH a dozen times in a row. Last edited by Davey; 08-16-2012 at 09:33 PM. |

Here is my take on this topic. There is no denying that the STI and Evo are fast and very good handling vehicles. As a matter of fact I test drove them both before making the decision to buy my 370Z. When comparing all three, I felt the 370Z edged them both in all around performance.
However, what you're about to read was the big deal breaker for me not buying the STI or Evo. After test driving the Evo and walking out of the showroom with my son, he pointed to an elderly lady (around 70-80) and said "Dad! ... look, that old lady just purchased the car we drove." I had to explain to him that the older lady purchased a Lancer not an Evo. He said "No ... I remember it read Lancer on the back of the car we drove." And that's when it dawned on me ... "No way in hell am I buying a suped-up four door granny car. The same goes for the STI. I wanted a two seater sports car and nothing else ... period. When you compare the styling/looks of the Z to the STI or Evo, they just don't compare. The Z looks freaking awesome. So ask yourself this question. Do you want a suped-up four door granny car, or the three year in a row DSPORT Magazine sports car of the year.* The choice is pretty simple!

From Bergen County, then yes.
Your Z would get crushed by most Sti's due to the fact that none of them are stock. Most of them are Stage II meaning that they would walk you. Unless you build your motor or if you have more money, go turbo! I always get teased by evo and sti owners as well. But the difference is driving a Sports Coupe vs a sedan w/ turbo. I love my Z a lot and it's not always about who can go faster in a straight line. Meet me at the track!

As for the old granny 4 door car. Well this old granny car was picking on and beating up a 09 Viper ACR, 05 Viper (intake, headers, mid pipe, exhaust, throttle body and tune), 05 Corvette at the track. The only one in my run group that was a challange was a STi. Me and the driver of the STI were fighting for second place all day and only a tenth of a second between our lap times. EvoX Time Attack #1 - YouTube 423hp EvoX GSR vs. 05 Viper - Time Attack - YouTube imo, the EvoX is better then the 370z, and i've owned both and tracked both. The EvoX is better on and off the truck, end of story...lol.
