370z vs Wrx Sti

Iceagetlc · 10-03-2013, 03:26 PM

I've owned a 350z, 370z, and an STI among other sports cars, and as far as straight line racing goes, the STI is much much faster. At the drag strips my STI with stock midpipe and intake (only an axle back) was running 12.8 @ 107 while the Z struggled to see 13's. The only Z I saw run high 12's was a twin turbo.

As for cornering, that's subjective. STI's have tons of body roll and are very weird to predict. That said I still prefer my RX8 over a 370 for turns anyway. I feel the new Z incarnation will change all of that drastically
