The 350Z is the slowest 300 hp car I've ever had the misfortune of driving.

Evo FTW.

Look the 350Z is a great car, but in my opinion the EVO (all models) overall just offers you more for your money. Stop acting like the Z is some Ferrari, the girls at the playboy mansion would probably pick neither car and sport a Porsche. Also the EVO interior is not that good, but who ever said it was, but the 350Z interior honestly isn't that impressive either. But let's not turn this into a 350Z vs. EVO debate, the 350Z placed 1st, which I totally agree with expecially when compared to the EVO RS. The RS is just too raw and you cannot place first on performance a lone. So basically what I am saying is that the 350Z was a justified first place finisher.
Why didn't I pick the WRX, because I didn't think it deserved to be in the top 10 (Plain and Simple). Seriously maybe 2 or 3 years ago it would have cracked my top 10, but with much more available for under $30K, the WRX just doesn't make the cut. The WRX is a very nice car, but I just think the others offer more and much more interesting. I do not like the styling of the current Impreza lineup, and in comparison to it's big brother the STI, the WRX just looks plain. The interior is also very plain, and it doesn't have the raw awesome power and performance of the EVO IX RS to make you over look a lot of it's shortcomings. The WRX is also one of the more expensive cars on the list and does not offer as much for it's money as the other cars.

I'm sure with your whopping 249 whp and 3400+ curb weight you've slaughtered all of those stock 300 whp LS1s.

Go take out some of that penned up aggression on your base model 350Z with its open differential, and do some one-wheel burnouts or something.

Let's just stick to the topic and let him continue to make a stink of himself.

I don't see what is so great about the Z's interior. It looks cheap and plasticky to me. Plus, I have sold a few used examples and they don't seem to hold up with age. The Evo is simple and functional, just the way I like it. If there were no 15K Lancer I doubt people would have as much problem with it, but its something that is always brought up like its that big a deal any more. That's part of the Evos whole role, from I-IX. And even though the X will probably look nicer inside, it will still be Lancer based, so he same people will make the same tired comments instead of taking the car for what it is.
