k270kmh,

The 350Z was a fabulous car and i can't dog it.

The MR is quicker, handles better, and has more room. In my opinion it looks a lot meaner as well. I also think that the car is built with better quality materials.

I got the Z when it first came out and it was like driving a Ferrari, because nobody had seen one at the time, so heads would turn. Now, everyone and their brother has a 350Z so i wanted something different. Plus I've always been a fan of the EVO and I've wanted one since i was a kid.

Yeah, my evo is by far the fastest and most fun car I have ever owned.
Before the evo, I had a 2003 Eclipse GT...felt like a pregnant whale. My '65 Stang was quick, but nothing like my BBY.

I just got mine 3 days ago and breaking her in hard. Comming from RSX-S Evo has little more accleration than my RSX-S did.(could be a tie) RSX-S had Intake, Header, exhaust, and hondata. But that will all change in a few weeks. As far as handling goes there is no comparison.

The EVO is not the fastest but it is the most fun. That is why I bought it.

My 05 Evo is stock so it isn't as fast as my 01 Z06 or 99 Viper GTS. And, I have a track prepped Z28 that will give the Evo a good run.

Well, faster has several diff meanings, o.e. top speed, QT times, turning, road course etc. but overall, yes it is the fastest vehicle i have ever owned.

Faster how? My personal most memorable cars to compare my Evo to are:
* '72 Vette that had a higher top end (but not by much.) Rode rougher than the Evo, handled like ****, and sat so low could tell if car in front of me washed under his bumper...
* '78 Dodge Aspen sleeper (massivley built 340 engine & trans out of a '68 Dodge Dart GT, cutdown 8-3/4" quick-change posi from a '68 Dodge Monocco Station Wagon, etc.) Great for drag racing & separating fools from their money.
* Porsche Boxster - OK, but Evo is better in every way.
*'86 GLH turbo - more hp than my stock Evo & slightly faster in the 1/4 mile (after being heavily modified, of course...) Out of all the cars I've ever owned/had access to, little Pocket-Rocket was actually closest, performance-wise, to the Evo. Greatest POS ever produced, but a terrifying deathtrap in cold/wet weather...

Have had lots of others, but none worth comparing to an Evo - and she's still stock!
Evo is the best all-around car - can't wait to start moddin' it!!!
