It would be an easy choise for me. Sti all the way. Just make sure you pick up some decent winter tires. Think about trying to drive the 350Z in the winter. The STi is also cheaper and offers more power and easier tune-ability. Dont get me wrong, the Z is a great car, I just think the STi a little has more to offer. I'll admit the Z is a much better looking car, but I'm more of a preformance oriented person.

I agree with Alan. LGT is also roomier and better looking.

I have always loved the Legacy GT, but frankly, at 21, I'm looking for something a lot sportier looking. I planned on getting a legacy further down the road. Mike, all of the STI's are substantially MORE expensive then the Z's...which surprises me. The aftermarket is equal.

^SWEEEET!!!!

I love it in black. If the Spec B isn't available in black, a repaint would be worth the money. And you'd HAVE to add some hp. 243 is a joke for what it costs.

i don't care for the wheels and the eyebrows, but its a nice looking car.

getting the sport grille makes a HUGE difference over the stock chromed "wing" grille.

I didn't even notice the eyebrows at first. The wheels are ok, I'd keep them unless I found some black 5 spokes. How much hp you up to with Cobb Stage 2?

Hrm. I'd get a low mileage SVX for under 10 grand, swap in some new suspension and a 6spd, and call it a day because you'd have a nicer car than either of those.

If I wasn't in such a rush to get a new car I would have searched and found a nice used legacy 5spd.

I love GT's and that one is sexy as hell, but something like that needs a few visual mods to get looking that spiffy, whereas a Z is a sexy beast the way it sits...too many choices...grr!! haha

....Alan is right...
LGT would less likely be abused by some acne riddled pubecent (Or someone who still acts like one) than the sti
As for the Nissan.....4 seats might be nice..and im sure it has other faults, but Id say it might be a good buy, though if I were in the market for a nissan, it'd probly be a 300zx, a g-35, or vintage 280z

Then don't go half a$$ed, put out you're whole a$$ and get yourself the best bargin in the supercar world. A Lotus Esprit, same money, better handling and faster than both cars here plus if cared for right it will be worth more tomorrow then what it is today.
