Evos and subies are reliability nightmares. Stangs are a dime a dozen though I still love them. In the end none of those cars are real sports cars. With the aftermarket for the Z really blowing up lately, one can readily get to 500whp, either way my Z is prettier and more fun to drive than all those cars mentioned above.

This is untrue.. i've owned 2 Evo's... my roomate has one right now with 90+k miles on it and was tuned at 383 whp on a mustang dyno and has had no major issues. The old 4G63 can hold well over 400 hp without having any motor issue. I was tuned to run 29 psi on my stock motor and didn't have issues. The Subaru's are a different story though.

subaru's are also reliable. with both cars, it's idiots trying to crank out power without supporting mods.

I only said Subaru's for the reason that some of them have had tranny issues... namely the WRX's. The STI's are supposed to be a stronger tranny.

Does it? I read somewhere it was the same one... the WRX is a nice looking car though. I almost got one, but I felt that I wouldn't be quite happy with it ... the interior of the Z is very nice and the Evo X's was CHEAP. I wanted something that was comfortable and just different. I do miss the AWD though. It would be cool to have an AWD Z
