My dad actually has a c6 z06 and I find my EVO more enjoyable to drive. I think its because I feel more comfortable driving the evo 10/10ths and in the zo6 thats down right scary. If I was a better driver my opinion would probably be different..

compared to the $30-$35K Evo, I think the EVO is a bargain.....
If you can afford to pay for the performance of a new Z06 then great....more power to you, but dump a few grand into an EVO and you'll be able to hang with and if not beat the Z06.

it's all relative....a z06 competes with the best all around performance cars (i.e exotics and triple digit beasts)...you don't need to throw any money to make up the money difference in order to beat most of those
sorry, but the new z06 outclasses the evo in pretty much every performance category except for the big wing, 4-door, altezza boy racer category

You forgot to add the AWD factor also
And sure I'll admit the Z06 is a great performer, but it means you still would have spent an extra $35-$40K more over the EVO to get into one......

people that have that much money to spend are going to buy the best car they can in that price range
.....the new z06 is a bigger bang for the buck, way far so than the evowhy buy an evo when you can buy a $2k beater and dump $30k into that and spank the evo? you don't hear z06 owners say "i can dump $30k into a z06 and spank an s7...because that's just retarded

708 rwhp 676rwtq - above + 150shot

I could have sworn somone made real close to if not right at 600rwhp.
To everyone who is saying "an evo with 30k more in it would blah blah blah" needs to get over it. The C6 Z06 is the superior car, period. Your awd 4 door 4 cylinder is not on the same level as this car, so quit trying to compare them.
When somone can make 550 whp on pump gas in an evo, and make it weigh a couple hundred pounds less, then you can compare them. Of course you would still need some leather seats, better breaks, and no lag whatsoever.

1) well it depends on what kinda $2K beater you buy
2) Well, I'm sure a Z06 owner can say that...
