I'm looking for someone to criticise one of my points here, not my spelling. Surely you must have a better defense than that? Come on people, little debate can be fun.

Not a hater of WRX's, a hater of people who own WRX's and comment on another car they don't know about. I made sure to at least check my statements, for example your stock boost being 12 psi (though I don't know if that's different for yr model, but it's stock for some).

BTW, still waiting on how to tell a WRX from an STi, without being able to see any badges?

Oh, and surely we can all agree on Honda's having mad VTEC power?

Once again, how about you type what you want to write into word and spell check it.

Also your picture does not work.

Also we posted what we knew about the zx's and that is they are a big pile of shit.

Thankyou and goodbye.

He is looking for a 300zx for his girlfriend, which is all i seem to see in these cars, girls...

Jeeez, does the defensive attitude come standard with a WRX or is it an optional extra?

Hatched · #25 23-05-2007, 10:43 AM

optional on the Sti....

EXPLICIT · #26 23-05-2007, 10:45 AM

Optional, but most owners opt for it. No denying a 300zx tt is a great little car with tuning potential. But it is also a well known fact that a 'majority' of imported TT's are headaches due to their age and lack of maintenance, in a car that requires it be a regimental task. Enjoy your ride in good health.

Wait let me get this right...

You've joined a WRX forum yesterday because you are unhappy that people didn't recommend a 300ZX and posted their opinions on them? Well sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but not everyone likes them.

If they are such a fantastic car (not sure how a car that is 15 years old like yours can still be fantastic without a heap of work and money being poured into it) why are so many workshops refusing to work on them? Yes Nissan only workshops refuse to work on them because they are so difficult. Also I found a stock WRX much faster and a better handling car than those boats.

Personally after driving them myself, I think back in the early 90's they were a decent car, but in 2007 they are too old and offer nothing that a lot of other similar priced cars can offer.

As for you comments on WRX/STi's:
- 12psi - hah.
- The differences you will see between a WRX and an STi on the road in stock form is big wings and fog light covers. Doesn't mean that they are on the ones you see.
- You mention WRX's back in 93. You can't compare a 94 WRX to a 2007 WRX. There's been a whole new design/engines/drivelines/etc in between which keeps the cars modern. That's like comparing a 2007 911 Porsche to a 1964 911 Porsche.
