You live in Chicago and you're actually considering a 350z? It better be accompanied by another car as your winter car.

Driving a 350z in the winter, in ANY kind of snow, regardless of snow tires or not, is flat out DANGEROUS.

Why even consider it? The Evo is less expensive, faster, easier to maintain, and a LOT more fun.

I was in the same prediciment. I wanted the 350z because of the looks primarly. However, especially for the money - the EVO is quicker, better interior, handles better and its modding potential is far superior to the Z. Also another fact was that there are FAR less EVOs on the road than 350Zs... but thats just me! I also reccomend if you do get the EVO, get the SSL package (which includes HIDs, leather, sunroof and a kickass 315watt infinity sound system with a sub). It will be about the same or a little less than a track Z.

It all matters if you prefer autocross-rally or drag racing. Evo is the better autocross-rally car while 350z will be a good drag car. Or if you're not looking for speed then its your call which looks better

If you get the Evo, that Escalade will be sitting out the winter. Evo + good winter tires = hellava good time.

Um, the Evo is a better rally/track/drag car, the Z will do A LOT better at Autox (after all, it's in a lower class )

dont want to be one to lable but if your driveing a escalade with 22's you might be one to care what it looks like over performance, so the 350 may be more your style. If thats not the case and you want performance, get the evo.. stock for stock it eats 350's all day long in anytrack.
