I understand tires and a lot of things come into play when talking about this... however, i'm trying to compare on a stock vs stock basis though. We know the Z has HUGE tires on the car and more contact patch typically will mean more grip. The Z has the tire advantage stock, while the STI's or Evo's etc have the advantage of more torque due to turbocharging with A LOT of boost and in the Evos case computer controlled handling.
