im getting a very nice bonus from work int he upcomming month and ive decided to give myself a late X-Mas present and get a new car.

ive got it down to:

a 05-06 GTO
g35 coupe
or and EVO.

what are your opinions on the cars above? and how do evos do against the gto stock vs. stock?

ive test driven both, like em both, (havnt driven a G yet tho) just wanted some opinions


(im comming from a 99' eclipse gsx 37k miles)

 

If you still want a turbo, i say go evo. I personally dont think gto and evo are really in the same category though. Choice is yours at the end.

 

u came to an evo site...so everyone is goin to say evo...

but from all of your picks...i would pick the evo...

i dont really like driving the g35...a lil cramped of for me...and not much head room...

 

read the sticky at the top of this forum I think it's call evo vs all other cars or something

this type of question has been answered way too many times

 

I drove a GTO and a Evo back when I was looking at cars. I got the Evo because it was so much fun to drive. And the G35 is a balla car. Its up to you

 

+1. couldnt have said it better myself. imho i'll pick the evo over gto. i've never ridden on a g35 before so i cant tell u how it feels. In the end you have to decide which car u like. GL

 

i say its all up to you. you can have luxury performance. which is the G35 you can have the american power or the bad *** dont look at me, i thought i told you no locked doors! Evo.

 

I say get a G35 and pimp it out a lil. I wish i had bought one. With what ive spent i could have bought 2 evos.

 

+1

I'd say get the Evo just cause I love the Evo, it's mod friendly, and just all around fun to drive car. The GTO and G35 are also pretty cool cars. If you decide on the GTO definatly go for the 6.0, enough tq to keep put you back in your seat, and just sounds insane with a borla exhaust system. The G35 is more of a statius car, although I have seen some pretty quick ones.

 

GTO's are fast but not that fast when i was running just a tbe i demolished a gto with exhaust , pulleys , intake , all he did was spin tires, power is good if you can get it to the ground, by the time he got up there i was gone so to me seemed like a waste of horsepower . The g35 is a baller car big rims and a system would be the way to go with that car . again its all up to you

 

I agree with everyone who says that the G35 is a baller car. I test drove a GTO and those cars are fun as hell and fast, a little on the heavy side but a fast *** car. And the Evo I mean come on its an Evo you can still make an MR look pretty ****ing bad ***....I would say Evo because great car in bad weather, fun to drive, and its a sexy car, to me.

 

a 99' GSX with 37k?!?! You better be keeping that as a project car with those miles!

I was in the same EXACT boat as you were about a month ago. I was coming from a WRX and I wanted alittle more luxury so I was pretty darn set on the G35 (even had my modding research pre-planned hehe,) but after test driving it I decided that the car just isn't from me. I'm absolutely positive that you'll end up feeling the same. The G35 is an excellent car and the truck like torque is something us AWD + turbo guys will never have, but who cares!

 

Oh yea, and about the GTO, dont even go there. Even if it performed like a monster and was a very well built machine, it's still out of production. Out of production for you just means more expensive parts/labor, cruddy resell, and probably a small enthusiast crowd.

 

a new evo
get one while you can

 

meh what do you thinik ppl on an evo forum will say? i was debating between the g35 and the evo. most people say the g35 is too slow. so if youre looking for speed: evo.
Gl and Merry Xmas
