I agree, get a regular WRX say 10-11, and just make it a sleeper STi. That's my plan when I can get my hands on an 03 bugeye.
![]() 04-05 wouldn't be bad either, I'd even stretch for an 06 if the price was right.

Yeah the new WRX was something I was considering. I even made a thread on here a few days ago asking how much power they can make with basic mods. Thanks for reminding me lol, I'm gonna go check prices for them

I just don't see why you'd want to downgrade from a 370 to a 350. You lose so much more than just cheaper payments...
Hence why an STi or even an Evo would be a much better choice. It's cheaper and already comes boosted. With less $$ in aftermarket parts you have a higher performing car.

I lost my first 350 in a wreck, then purchased a brand new 2011 Evo X and went stage 2 almost immediately. Look where I ended up
![]() The performance was fun, but if OP is truly looking to "downgrade", he probably won't be happy jumping to a mid 2000's WRX from a 370. I wasn't happy with the Evo. Then again, if looks aren't high on the list... ![]() A boosted 350 would be a lateral step from a 370. Cheaper, still a Z, and fast. ![]()

![]() I wouldn't consider a 350 in the same realm as a 370 on any day. Not a lateral movement for me, but that's just my ![]() ![]()

![]() Having owned both, I agree that the 370 is a step above the 350. With a turbo though, a 350 will lay down decent power. Maybe not exactly lateral, but a backward half step over there to the side kinda move ![]()

Every day I go back and forth between keeping and selling. Man, why is this so hard???? Today I don't feel like selling it. Tomorrow I will probably come back to this thread and look at some of the other options listed

This. You might even be able to score a C5 Z06 for low 20's with a bit of mileage. If you can get over the rubbermade interior, it'll be a lot faster than the Z, cheaper insurance (corvette is one of the cheapest sportscars to insure) and look good on the outside as well. I would probably have ended up with this if my brother hadn't gone out and bought a C6 the year before I got the Z.
