Picked-up my 05 EVO yesterday and I must say it's nice to be boosting with that 4G63 again. My daily driver is a G35 Coupe, which is comfy and a competent handler, but I missed the character of my old DSMs: 92 and 97 GSX, both setup for ProSolo/SoloII to varying degrees.

A big Hey to all the old DSM crowd and fellow EVO pilots.

 

nice see you back with the 4g's... are the g35s quick compared to the evo?

 

Having the EVO now for a year and a 1/2 I thinking of getting a DSM to play with. Welcome and congrats on the new ride.

 

The G35 is more of a grand tourer, low effort acceleration (read low-RPM torque), but stock v. stock it won't win any races with an EVO.

I see you're from Boston. Are Mr. Reitman and crew still at it in Beantown?

 

You could certainly make a nice stripped-down racer out of DSM without putting too much money into the initial purchase. I think Road Race Engineering had one down to 2400lbs with over 400whp--yikes!

 

larcatus, i own a 350z, the race version of your g35c = ) , i'm thinking about trading it in for an evo since i live in michigan and michigan weather sucks.

hows the performance , straight line, cornering, seats, drive-ability of the evo? cuz the g35c and 350z are almost the same

 

Hmmm, well, my opinion based on driving the EVO for a couple days and test driving a used 2003 with no inhibitions...

Really, two different cars, built for two different purposes. The 350Z and EVO are probably a bit closer in performance, handling, ride, etc. If I lived in Michigan there is no question; I would get an EVO. I can't wait to try the "snow" mode on the ACD!

 

Congrats....glad to have you back on "our side" again. Big step up from the subaru you had when I last saw you at Island?
