id make the switch...my buddy has a 05 350z, and its fun to drive, but every evo ive driven had more of a thrill and better feel to it

 

Thanks^ yeah thinking about it.. i love the Z a lot!! but i guess its time for a change.. We shall see.

By the statement " evo X not being as raw " what do you mean by that? stock block power? it doesnt have the legendary 4g63? handling wise? heavier ? How much heavier is it? the difference between the 9 and 10 wasnt HUGE.. it was only 125 lbs heavier.. or so I read. Plz correct me if im wrong..

 

keep your Z. If you don't need a 4 door, I would get the new 370. Build quality and fun factor is in the Z in my opinion. I owned the 350. The X is mor practical for me now, however I do miss the Z.

 

It's interior. The 4B11, although proven to be capable. The WEIGHT being the biggest factor. I'm pretty sure it's much more than a mere 125 lbs. The X's are known to be pigs.

 

yes go for a X its insane on bolt on mods

 

its not really the 4 door that kills me, i really dont care... Just want to try something new... and also the winter.. I like the 370.. but i wouldnt trade the Z for it... itll feel very slow and it is , ive driven one.. and its like going back NA over again and starting from scratch..

 

how much does it weigh? lol. last i checked was in the 3200-3300 and the 9 in the 3100-3200 zone..

 

I drive an EVO IX RS. My good friend drives a 350z and we switched cars last night. When he got out of the EVO he was like Son of a b!tch this thing is FAST!!!!

I'm 90% sure you will LOVE the EVO. A lot of people say that the 350 is for show but the EVO can be for show as well. EVOs look mean!!!

 

if built right the Z can be a nasty car. build the bottom end port head and cams spring retainer upgrade slap a aps twin turbo on it and upgrade suspension and brakes new clutch to hold power and there you go a beast of a ride so not like the Z is a terrible car by any means. I think nissan should consider a turbocharged/supercharged model but for now they leave it up to the user. So yes it can get pricey to mod it but even the evo and break the bank. I love my z and evo just have both

 

duh

 

i personally made the switch from my 03' touring 6 speed to my now 08' evo x and i love it.. just kinda weird not having 6th gear and the gas mileage is about the same between the two so not much complaining too... come over to the dark side bwah haha

 

thats good to hear! Idk why.. but I DEFINITELY!! seen your SN on my350z.com lol

 

Tack another 300-400 lbs onto that weight. Don't know where you read that . It's pretty widely known they're pigs. They're about 3600 lbs. wet. With driver, you're closing in on 3750-3800 lbs. POLAR opposite of your Z if you ask me.

03' Z I believe was the lightest. Weighed in at about 3290-3330. Evo X is about 200lbs heavier. However, the X is much easier to mod than a Z. Z is not that fast NA. I drove one for five years. The X handles much better out of the box and cheaper to make more power.

 

Agreed. Still can't get over the X's heft. And it's closer to 300 lbs. heavier.
