So get rid of the Evo and get the Z, it'll be a great contrast to the GTR and in a good way.

I owned a '05 STi back then...fun car...but nothing like a v6 2-seater. In fact, stock for stock, the ride quality of the Z is much more comfortable.

I get more looks from females and older car enthusiasts with the Z than I did with the STi.

I say go for the Z, if you decide to keep it longer, then boost it...should keep you quite content then.

Also, dropped on Swifts and 20F/25R spacers, no need for fender rolling.

Stock for stock its definitely all a matter of preference what with AWD vs RWD and all that, powers even similar stock. IDK if I'd ever go FI on a factory NA car though, seems sketchy.

Here's my biggest question: How can I tell if a Z has the sport package EXCEPT for the wheels.

Op, actually you should stick to Evo, do not buy a Z

Spoiler, chin spoiler, big brake kit powder coated 4 pot/2 pot, s-mode button. Then wheels, tires, euro shocks, VLSD.

I've found a few w/rays wheels and spoilers that were in fact not sports. I didn't know the brakes got upgraded, that's an easy identifier.

synolimit · 02-01-2014, 08:22 AM

Not really, that's an easy up grade someone could of done. Look for the S-mode, can't add that on.

^ That's really the one I'm looking for, I agree it's all pretty easy to add but I needed the one thing that couldn't be. Thanks man thats the answer I was needing.

Buy an old VW bus. You can live in it AND drive it. Mods are cheap, and you can make serious HP with them. Look at all the money, and soul searching I just saved you.
You're welcome.

Yes!

R3V · 02-02-2014, 09:31 AM

It seems like every single one I look at doesn't have the sport package. IMO it's a complete deal breaker to not have it.

Wait you looking at auto or stick? Auto doesn't have a s-mode. You'll have to go off of everything else.
