0-60 in 5.5 and 280bhp if its the twin turbo. Should beat your Subaru if u drive a standard UK turbo.

JDM spec wrx wagon (upto 97/98) has 220ps on 100 ron fuel, 0-60 in around 5.5 secs, id also be quite wary of the 300zx, they can handle themselves quite well, even on the twisties

Zed isn't so good on the tighter roads with funny cambers and dodgy traction.

Anything else and you're toast unless you've been seriously tuning.

ZX in stock isnt that fast in a straight line neither. One off 300+ bhp models for car magazine tests they are quick, but the real examples are usually in Audi TT territory!

Even *if* my Supra was slow, atleast I don't go round making a thread or 10 whining about it, and asking everyone what's the best BP ultimate remap to make it faster.

... members such as yourself are the number 1 reason why I scoff at intense Imprezas drivers whenever I see one.

Before my Scobby I had two 300zx TT, In the wet they are not very good unless you have traction control fitted. But top speed, 0-60 are much quicker than my scooby but not as much fun on the country lanes But my first 300zx TT was pushing 427bhp.
But the Scobby, and Zed are two totally different cars.

Best info site on the Zed is www.300zx.co.uk
