Wrx vs 370z

Whenever someone tries to race me I usually say "grow up" or "I'm too old for this ********."

the wrx is a toy..just a econobox with a turbo for the guys that couldnt afford the sti's...the Z has heritage, looks, power, and actually has feeling in the steering..

Uhmmmm...sounds like someones a bit blinded here. Nothing personal, but the boxer 4 Scooby's have long been proven to be an extremely stout motor that is easily modifiable. "Econobox with a turbo" or not, they still handle very well and can be made very fast.

Simply claiming that the WRX is nothing more than an econobox is merely denial over the fact that they can be made as good as the STi for less.

Let's us keep it civil I'm holding my real thoughts but

we don't need to go there, are you a owner? this has to be a apples to apples comparison stock for stock with equal cars, mods to keep up are not the same because it turns into a pissing match so whats the point.

im sorry if i offended any previous owners here..but the Z is just way out of the WRX's league in terms of engineering...im on iwsti.com btw..a common complaint is lack of steering feel, body roll and a fairly fragile 5spd...now all you guys are putting up modded wrx's smokin 370z's..thats great and all but again you guys have to be modded and tuned to keep up with a stock car...suspension upgrades, tranny upgrades, tunes, barely legal downpipes and exhausts..etcetc...btw its safe to say that the 370z is near the top of its tier when it comes to performance in its price range..the wrx on the other hand has competitors like the MS3 and the Cobalt SS...

to the fellow that said the Z was an econocar...it isnt...its always been a sports car..ever since its birth...the wrx...not as much..so chill
