Nismo vs. Sti

Wow those two are retarded. Neither of them know anything about either of these cars.
Did they get their info from cliffsnotes or something, so stupid.
CNET really needs to get it together or just stop reviewing cars if they can't get simple things like engine displacement correct.

Here's some valuable info:

Both test results are from Car and Driver

2016 WRX STI
Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.3 sec
Top speed: 159 mph



2015 (nothing changed for 2016) 370z Nismo
Zero to 60 mph: 4.6 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.1 sec
Top speed: 155 mph

These cars are pretty much the same performance wise.

The rest is all determined by how good of a driver you are and which driving style suits you.
Me, I like to tear it up carving corners and kicking the back end around while listening to that VQ exhaust blasting through straight pipes with the exhaust cracking with each up and downshift with RevMatch on.
I like the WRX's performace, but the 4 doors imply that passengers and or child seats are welcome in my car, and that's just a no go for me.

LOL when has the Nismo ever broken 5 seconds, 0-60?

honestly in real world, i dont think i can ever get the 5sec mark on my 370Z. even with the RE11's i cant get the level of grip i need. and the clutch feel, throttle lag.. i just cant get the level of control i need.

the STI on the otherhand, great grip ofcourse, consistent clutch, fast throttle response (cobb stage1). easy to do fast launches.
