dont worry about redline06..hes a fat lil mexican kid who whenever it comes to the 350z and evo he's swinging from the 350z'z nuts.

if i like my older car better then i would have kept it.but this guy just hates on him own car and its sad.

and the best thing about him is he buys RNR parts and thanks there the best thing out there

Despite having a bit more crank HP.. I dnt is gonna make up for all the other stuff that is going on the car.. let's not even talk about the MR.. let's take a RS for example. Regardless that **** is gonna have like 7 airbags as well.. so compared to an IX MR.. that RS is going to be the chubby one..

Can you say weight:Power ratio.. yeah despite it having a lighter motor.. so what.. an advantage is going to be weight distribution which is good but when ppl attempt to mess with it.. oh man is going to be fun.. Warranties go left and right.. now imagine the X.. same thing buddy..

Tell me Aluminum is not a great conductor of heat.. that's why they got them iron sleeves in there buddy boy.. but again its engineering.. I doubt the bish was engineered to withstands more than what they are already giving it. Out the box once again is gonna be good but once someone tries to bump the boost up, install a bigger turbo which btw is not gonna be that easy now cuz am like 99% sure they are going to invert the bish just like the lancer.. all that aluminum crap is gonna go bye bye..

Many say mitsu is not gonna let their flagship car down.. of course not.. its gonna perform better than a stock IX.. but beyond that point they already have let us down..

Now hating something you drive.. i dont hate the evo itself cuz its in my financial situation the best bang for the buck.. but when it comes to it.. I enjoyed my 06 350Z even more.. the only thing it wasn't was faster than a evo..

I'll post a poll amongst 100 ladies.. which one looks better.. a 350Z or a Evo.. got 100 bux the Z takes the majority of the votes.. I had chicks walk up to me cuz the car did the talking.. something that with the evo barely happends.
You don't even know the exact weight of the EVO X yet so again your speculating to far. I am going to save this convo because i know you will soon eat your words. Your talking about a company that created the 4g they know wtf they are doing they are engineers, they think pass what we think. They have people worrying about situations that can arise. I bet everything you said has been accounted for with the developement team. You think you're the only one worrying about weight and the other issues?

IF you can come up with those questions and concerns about the car, you think Mitsu engineers wouldn't have argued about the same thing inside while they were developing the car? The Blue Print get's reviewed by a whole team and little things like this will be covered and reviewed. Remember they get paid for this and you don't so im going to place my bets that they know MORE than you.

So far every year they've upgraded and the car got better. You guys might say blah blah blah new engine 4b11 but like i said they had about 3 years now with this prototype they get paid for this, im sure they have done their research.

Sorry guys but the Evo X is the best looking Evo by a mile. Let's not get started on the interior, either...

I would never have considered an Evo or Sti until I saw the Evo X and now I know what I'm buying after getting rid of my RX8.
