How does the STI compare to the Nismo and what made you make the switch?
I came back to a Nismo from an Evo X and noticed the handling, and fit and finish is so much better in the Z in stock form. Frankly, even with the turbo I found the Evo X wasn't all that great before any tuning. I also like that I can toss the car around with much more confidence that with the Evo. I know this is not a popular opinion but to quote Fifth Gear, I agree that the Evo felt like a poorly set up a front wheel drive car, that had to be over throttled to induce natural handling. I also felt like I couldn't see anything over the massive hood of the Evo with the low seating position. However, I love the look and think the finish is gotten much better in the 2015+ WRX and STI. Love to hear your thoughts! |

Like hearing the talks about the NISMO. One of my buddies and I are always going back and fourth about this. He thinks I only say I think the NISMO out corners every thing because I have one. I think there are a lot faster in a straight line cars out there, but for the price, I can't think of a single one that will drive faster at a higher speed, or through a corner.

I had a buddy with an APR GTI. He had everything they had to offer and it was all dealer installed, which was surprising. It was quick, but just not my cup of tea.
