I agree the Subaru build quality is nowhere near the Z. We are talking about different animals though. The Z was almost 30k when new? Back when 30k was proper money. I picked up a new STI-UK for just over £20k thanks to EU importing. The gearbox I'm not so sure about was it the 6 speed or the old 5 speed you drove? The STI UK is of course PPP but lets face it that’s just an emissions technicality. The PPP should have been on all the cars from the factory. I'm surprised you’ve driven an STI and think it’s over rated, maybe you didn't drive it fast enough in the bends :) To truly appreciate the epic handling you've got to be on the limit on the twisty stuff.

 

I've been a Z owner for over 6 years now and it's easily the best all rounder I've ever owned. Cruising around with the roof off at 160mph with Rob Zombie barely audible on the stereo is fantastic. As automotive porn the Subaru is Jo Brand to the Z's Jo Guest. BUT as a drivers car the Z doesn't come close to the latest STI-UK PPP IMVHO. As for reliability.... lol forget about it :cool:

 

 

 

edit: Sorry for hijacking your thread Schumi_not! There's nothing like destroying your first performance car behind the wheel of your Z. Long may it continue! :hyper: I've done my share of STI UKs in the Z on the A66. They run out of puff long before my Z even thinks about breaking a sweat or another gearbox.

 

 

No problem Jonno.

 

An interesting read regardless! :D

 

Nice to hear i'm not alone in the spanking Scoobie dept! :hyper: :nana2:

i went from a 97 scooby to my 91 fairlady and there both such different cars the scoob had the the handlin and pure smack of the power but the zed is so nice to drive and after 120 the zed leaves every thing even an r6 on the a5 but also i didnt feel guilty when i spanked the scoob but i do with the zed

Sorry, for thread jacking this but, while we're on the topic of smoking other cars.

I was sitting at on the a1, on friday afternoon. Stuck at roadworks!

An integra DC5 pulled up behind me and started revving his engine.......thought to myself "he wants to play!!!!"

So we went for a little run and by the time i got to 120mph, the integra was a fair distance back......then i had to slow down for the roundabout.

All i can say is, YA BEAUTY!!!! I was well chuffed!!!!!
