my dad has been an owner of a nissan dealership in GA for about 10 years now and just a month ago purchased a mitsu. dealership. he is not currently in charge of the inventory but he will be when the purchase is finalized, which will be in mid july. i have been looking for any evo's around the GA area.. and no dealership has any.. is this normal? do they not sell enough fro dealerships to buy too many? my dad has 6 350's in his dealership and he's in the middle of gainseville (very redneck place). the question i am asking is, do you think a smart dealership would have atleast 1 evo on their lot at all times..? or is that not how this car works.. i'm really eager to get one.. but i don't even know if my dad's dealership will buy any.. what is your opinion? (and no, my dad won't give me a 350 cause it's too dangerous.. but this is a 4 door car so he might reconsider)

 

Ha, the evo is about 2X more dangerous than the 350Z. More power, faster steering, turbo lag, and higher limits which is bad for driver that doesn't have much seat time.

While recalling when i was in high school I backed off when my Mustang GT fishtail out but the problem with the evo is that it has full grip unit you basically wipe out because the high limits/speeds. AWD car is theortically easier to drive but I dissagree for people whom never spun out at the limits. With AWD you basically have to mash the throttle to pull you out of a jam which is oppsite form your instinct. Because of this reason and the way the car asked you to drive it fast with a false sensation of feeling safe, i'd say the evo is more dangerous.

 

well.. i understand.. but like i'm not the type to push the car.. especially on turns.

 

I was a drag racer too. Let me here those words after you have taken one for a test drive. Believe me this car feel like a go-kart! Once you go Evo it's hard not going back.

I dont' know if you realize that by spinning your steering wheel one turn you will lock in a right or left turn

PS. please do all your aggressive driving off the streets. My evo insurance when up by 20% for some reason

 

anyone else got their 2 cents?
