I don't do luxury... I don't live in my car.

First of all, whoever buys a car to get female attention has serious issues, probably of the small ***** kind. The 350z is a nice car, and the Evo is a nice car. There is no use trying to argue about which car is better, BECAUSE THIS IS AN EVO FORUM.

Here's how it goes.... you sell the Z you will miss it but will never buy another one.
When you own the EVO and you sell it, you'll miss so much you'll find youself going back to get another one.

i just traded my Z beginning of this month for a EB IX SSL. when i got to the dealership i was on the fence...then i test drove the EVO and i was sold. take a test drive and make your decision.

i miss my Z sometimes, it had sexy written all over it! hahaha! i got compliments from every age group, little kids would come up and ask "is it fast". i work with a lot of older people and they liked my Z a lot.

everyone asked why i traded my sports car for a family car (their words not mine), i just tell them this is faster hahahah! with me i care more about performance than looks.

Z has one of the best sounding engines to me...this one sounds blah...until turbo kicks in. Z also has a mush better interior and a built in shift light on the tach (not neccessary but it was nice to have). Z also has a little compartment for sunglasses that i liked since i use them everyday in so. cali. again not neccessary but it was nice.

my goal was a 12 second car, you can do that in an EVO with about $1000 versus maybe 6K for a Z. out the box the EVO was MADE to be fast (turbo, Brembo brakes, Bilsten shocks, 4 wheel drive, recaro seats, momo stearing wheel, etc.)

the Z is a good all around car that has awesome lines, the EVO is a better all around car wuth an extra 2-doors.

my .2 cents!

Most Evo's have sunglass holders. I think you're SOL since you got the SSL. Also, you don't have Bilsteins.

Is yours fast? Did you read my last post or you just gonna be ignorant about it and believe some review that you found (I cant click on link, because filters block)?
There is a vid and there is time slips. I will leave it at that.
I'm not bashing Evo or anything but the only advantage on drag strip stock for stock is AWD launch.

The Evo still traps higher than any Z (so far)... let me know when a Z traps 106.

I just hate when people and alot of people say the only reason the evo is worth a damn is the AWD. Thats just a cop out that there car is slower. We can't help that Mitsubishi Engineers Do a good job.
