Yes, depends a lot on what you want from the car.

The Z is much larger and carries more weight on the front axle. The balance is notably different and frustrating, especially if you are coming from an AP1. The transmission is much less refined, and getting heat out of the engine bay will be a challenge.

That said, the extra interior space can be nice, the hatch allows you to fit much more than you can in an S, and you can wind up with a nicer torque curve with the right arrangement.
