From 15' Sti to 16' Nismo
 

So I factory ordered a white 15' Sti in February. I live in Pittsburgh and got all of my work done at Moore performance shop and was stage 2, 315 whp/345 wtq at 3k miles, custom tba, el headers, cai, volk te37 sl, a sparco seat and was going to auto x the girl. On august 6th the car was totaled by am '87 vw.... less than 9k miles. So in 2 days ill be picking up a 16' Black nismo tech 6mt :) I have been searching these forums and will be getting mods probably under 1k miles and a pro tune at Innovative tuning. Just wanted to say heyyy!

Sorry to hear about the STi, but congrats on the Nismo :tiphat:

welcome to the club!

Nice sti ..be nice to have both, Welcome !

Good looking STi , sad it had to end that way. What made you go the Nismo Z route ?

Welcome. Love the sti but with the low profile spoiler. Congrats on the purchase!

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!
