The Z Interior is a lot more refined than the WRX, I personally like how the Z handles. The WRX felt like it was constantly trying to kill me at the track or at least give me a heart attack. Every power mod needs a tune. Don't get me wrong, It was good car. I was pushing 295 WHP and over 300 WTQ, but felt nothing like the Z.

I have never driven a stock WRX or STi that turned anywhere near as well as a Z car.

The two cars (Subie AWD vs Z) are different animals.

They haven't changed the engine in the STi for 13 years, still the same EJ25 making the SAME power it did in 2004. It's in bad need of a overhaul. Meh, I'd sooner get a new Mustang over a new STi and that's coming from a former Scooby-Ru fanboi!

I test drove a '16 rex, walked away unimpressed, it has the same TQ as the Z but when you actually flog it, it doesn't feel fast.... Not sure why but it feels like the car gives you 100% of its performance by 3-4k rpm and its dead after that, it actually felt quicker short shifting vs reving it out..........

the Z just keeps building power all the way to redline, which is more satisfying.

I always felt the Evo was the better of the two.

datz because u dont know how to drive the STI. stick with your skylark or watever cause ull probably end up blowing the engine as some newbs already have punching it in the wrong gear.

my Z feels flat to me beyond 4K RPM compared to my turbo cars.

those dat are posting shittt about da current STI dont know wtf ure talking about.
the aging Z is not at the same level as the STI as far as being a driver's car. the Z is a sporty "touring car" if u compared it with da current STI.

subaru took a combination of old technology and refined it. so if you like older tech cars like me, ull luv the STI. it is a fantastic car.

I also test drove a brand new Subaru WRX STI and I wasn't impressed at all. It had no torque compared to the 370Z. Also the interior felt and looked like a Toyota Corolla.

The only thing that distinguishes that piece o shyt from a corolla is that fvckin goofy azz poser wing it come with and the bbk. Otherwise, I'm confused as to which is which? Oh n I don't think they make corolla in low budget blue, like the Subaru.

uhhh... look at ur posts unknown. im not da one getting all upset. im just posting wat i feel about the current STI. i own both cars, i know wat im talking about.

can u even drive MT? like REALLY drive it? folks dat are complaining about torque on da STI is trying to pull in the wrong gear. remember, it's a 4 banger turbo. have to use upper RPM where most Z drivers would not downshift, u have to downshift on da STI. datz another reason why it's fun to drive too cause you really need to be good a driving MT to make this car go fast and da tranny is very forgiving if you're good at it.. like going into 1st gear at 18-20mph, no issue.

u wouldnt even think of doing dat on a Z right? i mean i wouldn't, id just use 2nd gear. well guess wat, ure in da wrong gear den if u did dat on the STI.

i suppose if one was an avid S2K driver he/she'd know how to drive the STI properly.

ill leave it at dat.
