Wow... this is where you get torn apart....

1) Its called a 2.2 LN2 OHV..(95-97)
2) Street racing is dangerous and stupid
3) Cut springs on Stock OEM struts... even worse than factory.. bet your struts are blown and your suspension is dangerous.
4) Hope you still have flex pipe where you maid a straight pipe exhaust or Stiffer engine mounts..

.. i think i will stop there on that becuase the rest will no be premitted by the rules...

Basically its a toss on what you want. Other people cannot decide for you. If it was me, i'd take the Z.
