Hahah LOL. When I was car shopping I had a few models in mind. Coming from Spec V, the Z was my first test drive. I drove two, one auto with their fancy up down shifting. One was the track version with a 6 speed manual. I am sorry but as soon as you take of the traction control on the track edition it has no kind of traction when compared to the STi.

Also from racing a lot of them at the local qm, the always botch about "not hooking up" at the start, and those are at stock power levels. So I know a little bit about them......... So before you ASSume anything about this fanboi in the future, you might want to ask first

It certainly can spin the tires more off the line that the rex ever did, thats clear. I do feel that it about matches the rex in terms of grip, stock for stock. Once I get some new wheels + tires on it (I'm thinking 9.5" in the rear) it should be pretty good.
