And you put 1-2 seconds on a stock Z huh? Guess then Z guy cant drive, dont get all hyped up over that 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. CarAndDriver admitted that the only way to get those numbers was a drivetrain killing redline clutch dump.

I don't do straight line performance anymore. Had my time with that, you might say.

Pretty sure the z guy can drive, he is nationally competitive

I'm done arguing. When your knowledge is based on car and driver reviews and a street race with a friend, it's time to re-evaluate how much you know.

You put 1-2 seconds on a stock Z in your WRX? The WRX is not a very good handling car. No were near the old WRX. Yea I know its better the the 08 but its not going to out handle a Z. You need the STI for that and even that is hard pressed to do so from what I have shown you. So yea guess he cant drive. Can someone chime in and let me know I'm not crazy. A WRX not an STI is a better handling, braking etc car then a Z??

To add fuel to the fire, much like the GT-R, the Evo X also pretty much drives itself as well.

I can't back it with proof, but I do know a few STI guys who have owned WRX's as well. When I thought about getting the WRX after selling my Evo X. I knew I would suffer some handling loss, but asked how close it would be. I was simply told the only way to keep that kind of handling was with the STI. They are comparable in a 1/4 mile run, but when it comes to handling it's not quite there.

This is what I was TOLD, not what I have experienced first hand though.
