350z To Evo
u can sum it up by saying if i u want a nice looking sports car which is slower keep the 350 and put some rims and a drop if u havent already. the nismo coilovers are so nice.
if u get the evo u will love the speed but the obvioulsy the 350 is the clear winner in the looks dept.
thats ok if u like the looks of the evo better for people reading this but be real. thats not to say some gold 18s and a drop on the evo with tint doesnt look nice either.
just decide if u want the easier cheaper speed or not

Where are you getting your information? Where have you been hiding, come out and see for yourself. The new HR engine is 80% different from previous models, totally redesigned.
Here is a stock time and vid for 07 HR. I'm telling you they are not slow, just more expensive to mod.

And you can get a brand new one for under 28k, base model with standart HID.

Stock for stock, a 350Z and Evo trap about the same. I think the 07 Zs trap ~103-4mph which is pretty much where the Evo is. Of course, the Evo will run a faster ET due to the AWD launch.
To make significant power gains on the Z, you have to go forced induction. So ~$7k on the turbo kit. But that does jump you from ~240-250whp to 400-500whp. It'd be advisable to build the motor too
On the Evo, you can go from 250whp to ~350whp with bolt-ons, cams, retune, etc. More than that, time for a turbo upgrade.
The thing that the Evo will have that the Z never will is AWD. Conversely, the thing the Z will have that the Evo never will is displacement. A 500whp Z will have a much fatter powerband with tons more low-end (below 4.5k rpms or so) that a 500whp Evo ever do. That's just displacement, no getting around it.
If you're going to dump a butt-load of money on the car, and don't need much practicality, I'd go for the Z. If you need it to be practical or just stay with bolt-on upgrades, well, the Evo is the only option.

Evo owners didn't buy the Evo for Luxury. When I was car shopping I was looking for the fastest STOCK car between $25,000 to $35,000, And it came down to the STI and the EVO. In all categories Evo came out on top, by just a little bit though, But still faster. The fastest was the EVO the Slowest was the RX8.
