The 350Z is a nice car but if your looking for brutal power application at the cost of less ammenities go the the STI. The 350Z is a better mix but the STI makes not joke as to why it was developed.

STI no doubt about it. The 350Z is a great car, but not much tuning ability unless you wanna spend big $$$

WRS sti is one of the greatest performance cars ever made for the money. The Z looks better and that is subjective.

guess u have not read about his post of him wanting to crash his 3.0 CL into a wall so he can get a new car. Does this ring a bell?

I am disgusted with people that dont appreciate anything, at least he has a car, 3.0 CL is a very nice car. But no, he wants to crash it, and get a new car, WRX now i guess. spoiled I say. Greedy too. Be happy with what you have, its not materialistic, like everyone seems to think it is.

you have a 3.0 CL yourself, would you crash your car to the first available wall you see, so you can get a new car, or something else??

99 3.0 CL
18" bronze CP-10's
Eibach Sportlines w/ tokico's
Custom Strut Bars
Custom Intake
AEM power Pulleys
Apexi N1 exhaust
Magnecore Wires
NOS dry shot (direct port on the way along w/ an extrude honed manifold)

Would you?

definately, bored with it. It's a good car but just not what i'm interested in anymore. I've been looking for a way to get out of it forever. Brick wall hasn't been the first choice, but a couple of cliffs have looked very tempting.

Don't get down on the dude just cause he's thought about pulling an insurance scam. I'm pretty sure alot of people here themselves have or have thought about it. Yes the world is corupt. But you gotta except the fact.

I don't see what makes him spoiled about wanting to get rid of the car. Peoples tastes change. I wish I never got this CL and woulda got some other things I looked into. Sure the CL is a great car, but not for what I want, the 3 trannies i've trashed will contest to that.

now my hot rod, if that thing ever saw a brick wall i'd shoot myself.

ok, how do you get money from insurance scams when you crash your car into the wall, you are at fault, you get a point on your record for your fault, sure its totaled, you are getting a check in the mail, but you couldve gotten a lot more money selling it private party or traded it in, and you save more money in the long run due to insurance purposes.

I agree 100% that's why you have it stolen and burned.

that's more what i meant. And it's not hard to run it into a wall, bail and make a phone call reporting it stolen.

the resale value on these cars is HORRIBLE!

my 99 3.0 has 50K on it and i'd be lucky to get more then 12K. But KBB rates it closer to 15-16

acutally i do have friends like that. and like i said again if you dont have anything postive it say then shut up and ignore the thread. i dont need you stupid posts repeating over and over again "is this the kid who wants to run into a wall" lol. funny how you made it sound like i wanna run into a wall and if in not mistaken you even quote me and it said slowly mess up a car and no instanly. so i think you should think before you reply. and if you talking about imature how come you wont let bygones be bygones? MOVE ON. not like i stepped on your foot or anything or you just so imature that you like reapeting yourself over and over like a broken record just to get more post reply so your stats go up? also if what you said is suppose to hurt me in anyway i think by the first time you said it i would have said sorry but obvioulsy im not so its pointless to reposts your famous quote "is this the kid who wanna run into a wall?"

personally if i had to pick between a WRX STI vs the new Z. I'd go with the Sti in a heartbeat. just I don't like the styling on the Z(no offence to guys who do on here). Plus the current WRXs from a dead stop(CL-S owners will tell you this) if you race one from a stoplight they'll beat a CL-S(i'm not bagging on the CL-S it's still a sweet car ) but you add that Sti package and that thing will be a animal:P

how much is the sti going to be? I've looked online for a bit, and all i found was a sketchy estimate of $30k. Is that going to be like fully loaded with the navi, or just the base.

I would never have considered the wrx, but the sti looks so dam tempting...one site lists stats of 4.8 sec 0-60, and upper 11's quarter mile! I dont know if thats completly true, but all that power in an awd...i think the 911 is the next cheapest alternative (tt quatro doesnt count beause stock, it doesnt have as much power)

BTW eric, your full of shit. Why didnt you just appologize in your origninal thread, instead of making up a story of one of your friends logging in? If you had done that, maybe people wouldnt treat you like they do...

speed? lol the wrx sti would kill the Z for considerable less money, then you can spend the money u saved and even upgrade it more out of proportion. they both are not comparable, they both are not sport cars, one is a roadster, one is a sedan tuned for performance.

and there are ALOT of bay area guys on this site, someone will see ya!

is that accurate then? 11 second quarter mile?

Im concerned with the interior...at even close to 30k its pretty expensive, and i would want more than a cool awd system for that...anyone here exactly how comfortable the leather is for wrx's in particular?

Leather?? leather?? leather? blah

there aint no leather in the WRX, its cloth and cloth, and oh yea, cloth

my friend is renting one right now, dont know why since hes in college, never drives it so he lets his family drive it yet he makes the payments, go figure...

you can go third party and get leather if thats what you want, money will buy anything, upgrade that interior
