The STi is a high-quality car. It has many advantages in many different categories. Don't underestimate one of the world's strongest AWD manufacturers. They work hard on their suspensions, and their turbochargers can be easily swapped to create even more menacing road beasts.

The Z28 is also a mean machine. Be sure to have it appropriately modified. Japanese cars have a reputation for being "riced out," meaning that the STi is likely to have bolt-ons at the very least. You should respond with similar or superior treatments, including suspension work and even more serious modifications, like an aggressive cam swap.

The truth is that these cars tend to compete in different categories. The STi is oriented toward rally racing while the Z28 is more of a quarter mile pet. Establish what kind of races you want to win before preparing your car for victory. You can't expect to win track evens, autocross events, and rally events with the same car.

Pick your battles, then pick your mods.
