no way, first off everyone has vettes, and everyone who has one drives it and acts like its the coolest car in the world. Its an old guys car. The best part about having an evo is the look on that old guys face when your passing him in your 4 door jap saloon.

Yeah leafspring suspension that can outhandle an EVO all day long, totally weak. I would sell my EVO for a C6 z06 in a heartbeat. Those cars are sex.

Yes I would infact I have considered a Z06 for my next car. If I keep my 4x4 for the winter I think I might consider it more strongly when it comes time.

NO!!!!!!!!!! my inlaws have 2 vettes. one is an 04 LS1 and the other is a brand new C6 i have driven both and i would take their 04 GTO over both. the vette is still a ****ty car and all ur payin for is the engine. the interior in my 91 integra was nicer then the vettes. not to mention i can take my evo out in the snow and out on rainy days for that matter. vettes r for ppl who r to dumb to c they could have bought a camaro,gto, or firehawk for half the price. america has yet to build anything that interests me. jdm for life!

This is a dumb thread. Would you trade a chevy cobalt for an MR evo9? Of course you would.

Wow, your 91 integra had leather seats, navigation, and hud? Thats strange I never knew those were options back then. Seriously though, everyone has different tastes, but I think that comparison is ridiculous

Also those do make power quite easily with simple bolt on's as well.

You could always wait for the new z07 or whatever its going to be called. However thats going to be 100k, but if you have that kind of money to spend, why not!?

No.

I drove my bro's C6 Vette. Not to take away from the Vette, but you can't beat the AWD. I don't care how much power you have, if you can't put it to the tires properly, then what's the point? It would scare me the way the rear-end would break away at almost any RPM. It's cool, but I'll keep my Evo.

Oh yeah...He just sold it and bought an Evo IX SE. That says it all.
