09 370z w/ sport package vs. Modded 05 Sti

STI is definitely a performance car, but a different breed. 370Z's are more raw. STI seems more contained and better behaved (smoother). well, that's how i felt.

but other then that the car was real smooth and buttery. i might get the 2011 WRX hatch later on as my dd.... not sure yet though.
The STI makes way more power down low than the Z.
