Not sure I would agree with the Z having more potential. Even with the smaller displacement, a 4g63 can be built relatively inexpensively to hold a crazy amount of boost (40+ PSI). We already have a few Evos out there making over 1000whp...

I know there are Evo's out there making stupid power, but the powerband itself sucks. The z's are running for instance twin turbos (18G's, 60-1's and some I don't remember off the top of my head) fully spooled between 3000-3500 RPMs. Evo's can't make stupid power AND spool that early... only way to even come close would be a stroker... but then you can't take full advantage of the larger turbo in the upper RPM range.

You got the inexpensive part right for Evo's. Z's are no joke to build... on of my friends got his built several months back and paid well over $25K for the build (not including the turbo kit itself).

Well, lets talk about trap speed.
Z prolly won't trap that high, but I am letting you know that a stock E46 runs 13.1 at 105. There is no way stock Evo can not take a stock e46 from roll so here you go. Even from Dig you have have a good launch to have advantage, but at the end M3 will catch up and walk you.

So I guess stock Evo IX's have never trapped 106...

I've never had a problem with any of the three M3's I ran, stock or not.

[edit]I just noticed that in what you quoted from me, I state a trap of 106... and you say 105 like it's all that and a bag of chips with the dip. LOL.[/edit]

That would be because NO Z comes with a sunroof... that's why you DON'T have the sunglass holder. Non-SSL Evo's have them (that's where I keep my garage door opener).

And who really gives a flying **** about sunglass holders anyways?

I found the Evo to be pretty cheap or at least even to what I've seen out there. The 1&2G DSMs notwithstanding.

At this stage of the Evo's aftermarket developement - assuming you don't buy stupid bolt ons, I think the Evo is one of the best HP per Mod dollar out there.

Parts are getting cheaper all the time, starting to look like DSM prices.

Plus it easy as crap to work on (The clutch notwithstanding :-) Although you can get good at anything if you do it enough.

Appearance wise
Z's are 2 door poodles .... Evo's are 4 door Hell Cats

Ehhh I am not so sure about this. I have frequented the dragstrip quite a bit, and I have seen many stock Evo's absolutely rape M3's from a dig (E36 and E46 as well)

When I first traded in my 350Z my girlfreind hated the evo. After the break-in and some serious driving she quickly changed her mind and the car has grown on here. She wants more and more. Now with modding and washing it all the time she has once again started to hate my evo for some reason The car stays!
