300z tt vs. sti

[TeamRedLine23]

Which one do you think will win? I think the sti do to the fact of all wheel drive and its a lighter car

[freakonaleash1187]

win in what?

[DeleriousZ]

don't forget it's most likely at least 10 years newer...

[TeamRedLine23]

I meant in a race. sorry about that

[DeleriousZ]

a race to what... if it's which car blinks first... well you could be sitting there for a long time...

[freakonaleash1187]

straight-line race -> probably sti
auto-x -> probably sti
road race -> 300ZX

but you have to remember, the sti has 10 years of the Z. plus, put a couple mods on the Z and it is a whole lot faster straight-line.

stock for stock...an STI will demolish a 300zxTT in every category, no matter what the race. sorry to burst ya bubbles...

i take that back...the TT may have a higher top speed.

^ the z will win on the highway IMO, b/c it's got a bit taller gearing and RWD>AWD on the highway... those STI's have shorter gears, which is good for the 1/4 mile, but F*cks em' over on the highway.

isnt the J-spec STi a 2.0L like the normal WRX?? I bet that hte J-spec would be a better match for a 300ZXTT. i know that in US they are all 2.5L. IMO i would say STi kills in everything. Those things handle pretty mean. And whoever saiad that w/ some mods the TT would win, yah do those same mods to the STi and we all know the results. Youre comparing a car that is much more technologically advanced to a clunker....

[DeleriousZ]

a clunker? hardly... go back to your honda forum son...

[freakonaleash1187]

so the Z32 is a clunker now? please expand on this nastynater.

Yep. Only in the US the STi got the 2.5L engine. everywhere else it got the 2L engine but the powere was 206kw in the STi as opposed to the 156(i think)kw of the regular WRX. The JDM STi's are comparable in characteristics to the USDM EVO 8. So if you cold beat an EVO 8 in you TT, then you could beat a JDM STi.

Ironic that this comes up now... I just finished a huge argument about it in the Celica forums... I won

first of all...as yaggus just stated. eventhough the 2.0L was used in the JDM STI's...the output was still about the same as the 2.5L.

and second of all, the STI has no technological advancements over the 300zxTT. if you would like to get techinical we could further discuss the topic, but i think if you knew anything about either car, you could easily reach the conclusion that the TT has much more technological advancements and it is a 16 year old productioned car. 4-wheel steering and Electronically Adjustable suspension just for starters. we wont even get into the extroadinary engineering and aerodynamics that rate the Z32 far superior.

Rule #1:
Do not come into a foreign forum and "diss" the car that the forum is named after.
Rule #2:
If you do happen to skip over Rule #1, atleast have a arsenal of reaons to support your statement.
Rule #3:
If you do happen to skip over Rule #1, atleast know a little background about the car you are "dissing".
Rule #4:
This rule is for your case specifically. Do not even start a flame war because there are too many members on this particular forum that will eat you alive.

very well said k3. the Z32 has an amazing amount of technology in it. it has more technology than most cars today have. the Z32 was an amazing car for the 90's, and it still is 15 years later.
