But seriously, I think my main concern would be driving the z in the harsh weather over there. If you just staying there for one winter or so, I'd say keep the z. Otherwise, I agree with you to trade in the Z. Sti is a fun car to drive after all. It's more suitable in your situation. Or maybe an Evo? I was thinking a Sti or Evo for my DD/Winter car too. And I am still thinking to get one in the future! Lol. But I will keep my Z as a toy/weekend car here for sure.

You make valid points. I would feel a lot better thrashing an STi than a Z, and wouldn't want to be limited on where I can go. I like the STi more than the evo bc I hated my Evo X MR's dual clutch. It was unbearable. And the GSR only has 5 gears..
I just can't help but feeling I'm sitting in a small van when I'm in the STi when driving the speed limit. But I do still have my 911 sitting in CA, so I guess I shouldn't only have coupes in my garage.
Well it's a bit down the road. Guess ill hold off on any future mods for now.

Thanks for the brainstorm!
