370z vs Wrx Sti

I own both.

The Z is faster on a race track, it will handle better at high speeds. You won't get a lot more power out of the engine short of FI, but you'd lose money trading for an STI anyway. The Z also looks better, imo. The Z also makes its power NA, so it isn't laggy or straining. And it's Rwd, which is very fun.

The Sti will be drivable in more winter conditions and is roomier. It launches quick due to awd. It is cheaper to get high power gains, but not too much cheaper. Its suspension is super stiff, so it is agile, but no easier on my back than the Z. It is a more practical dd, but worse on gas from what I've seen. The boooost makes every trip fun, and the short throw shifter is nicer than the Z's shifter.

I love both. Do your research and make the right decision for you.
