evo or 350z

[get some]

i am selling my honda and looking for my next car. so its between the evo and 350z. willing to mod both. looking to see what people think.

[CleanNeon98]

evo by all means
more room
a usable trunk
better handling
better look (i think)
should i go on??

Plus the Z has the notchiest shifter ive ever felt, and it doesnt wheelspin, it wheelhops..kinda scary considering its RWD

[W_Evo]

test drive both and see what you like.

[TurboTagTeam]

I'd go with the Z. But I'm partial to RWD Nissan's. :mrgreen:

[james_ls]

The 350Z gets my vote.

[05Accent]

EVO :thumbup: i swear im not bias..

[scutzi128]

evo all the way...they arent even similar though so you should test drive both and see what you like best

[SayNoToPistons]

Obvious answer, the Evo.

[fear_no_evo]

wrx STI all day

[Scapegoat]

wrx STI all day

no way... srt-10...

oh wait... those aren't any of his choices... doh!

Anyway, you need to test drive both cars... both cars are 150% different from each other.

[sg2k9]

evo, but i would look into wrx sti also

[S4Turk]

rwd z is more fun plus u can even drift with a z but not so much with an evo

[96Stang]

it is really up to you as the driver...you are going to be driving one of these everyday...i would pick the evo but i also dont like the overall look of the 350 for some unsure reason...too round maybe??? idk

[den9]

u cant ask a someone else what YOU want, i just gotta go decide whats really for you

[Kevin]

My cousin has a '07 350z and I think its garbage. RWD sucks, 2 seater, no trunk, only plus is headlights lol I don't think it looks to good either.


But like stated above. Obvious answer, EVO. :supz:

[Zarno]

It'll be cheaper to squeeze more power out of the evo, right? My vote is with the 350z though - I think they're just sexy.

[fear_no_evo]

evo u can drive it all year round try to drive that 350 in the snow as fun as it might be not to safe

[Zarno]

evo u can drive it all year round try to drive that 350 in the snow as fun as it might be not to safe

Good point - I guess I have to change my vote to the evo since it sounds like this will be his only car. I sure wouldn't want to have to go out in some bad winter weather if a 350z was my only ride.

[SleeperGoat]

Wow those are the exact reasons i bought it excluding the headlights.

RWD sucks? Are you smoking crack?

[enohand]

why not save a bit more, & get a g37?

[fear_no_evo]

an 08 STI im telling u u wont go rong go test drive one

[zerioustt]

evo u can drive it all year round try to drive that 350 in the snow as fun as it might be not to safe

why cant you drive a 350z in the snow and be safe? tires do wonders..as subie owners can attest. try going through snow in summer tires..so its not that bad to have rwd in the snow just have to have the right tires.

[W_Evo]

rwd z is more fun plus u can even drift with a z but not so much with an evo

HAVEN'T YOU SEEN TOKYO DRIFT????? HAHAHAHA

[get some]

this will not be a daily.

[get some]

08 sti is that the one that looks like a mazda 3

[cburwell]

I would personally go for the Z just because I want one.

Most RWD cars will not do so well in the snow with summer tires. Dedicated snow tires (not all seasons) and some common sense will do the trick.

Since they are two completely different cars drive both and see what you like. The Z is probably not as practical since it's a two seater and the hatch is all but useless for larger items.

[FlashFive]

08 sti is that the one that looks like a mazda 3

haha bingo:thumbup:

they are both hatches so i guess u can say they look alike, but theres def a difference in them, but i dont want to piss off any subie people so ill just stop at that.

[2drStunner]

08 sti is that the one that looks like a mazda 3

Mazda 3 looks a lil better. IMO Go with the Z, there not so common!

[Scapegoat]

Go with the Z, there not so common!

you're kidding right?

I see those and evo's all the time.

[95gstnj]

i think youll like an evo better. more room to actually be able to bring more than one passenger, and its easier to make it go faster

[omgjacki]

I vote for the Z.

[Sled]

evo by all means
more room
a usable trunk
better handling
better look (i think)
should i go on??

Plus the Z has the notchiest shifter ive ever felt, and it doesnt wheelspin, it wheelhops..kinda scary considering its RWD

I've driven both cars and i can tell you the EVO doesn't handle any better than a Z. They push the front end in hard corners were as the Z's stay planted and goes. Im sure EVOMIKE is gonna come in here and tell me how wrong i am, but yeah ive driven both cars pretty dam hard. Sponsored1 should jump in on this lol! anyway like some others have said test drive them both and see what you like. the EVO is faster than the old Z's hands down. the new Z are a lot faster, im sure it would be a different story. the way my Brothers is set up it makes it corner like all hell. plus its got that bad ass baller look.

[Kevin]

You need to lay off the drugs or something.

[240sxDoug]

I would say 350z but thats only because I'm a Nissan whore... Test drive both and see which you like the most and which appeals to you.

[Cardriverx]

:bigeek:

yeah, fwd ftw

[Sled]

your a typical DSM guy.:roll:

[W_Evo]

bring a z to an autocross I'll bring my evo and we'll see what handles better:cool:

There was 2 sick Z's at atco yesterday though both had nice body work and custom paint. Looked really good, Not sure what they ran but I heard 13 something from a guy. Beatiful cars!

[Evo8kid]

this is tough, because i also like the Z. But if you look at it from some differet perspectives:
- The Z can be costly to mod. I see some exhaust systems going for double the price of evo exhausts
- The Evo can be made a beast for less money
- The Evo might have a better chance of breaking once you mess with it (i cant say for sure cuase i never owned a Z)
- The Evo is easier to work on, which means less labor
- AWD is FUN! in every weather.
- ^But then again...so is RWD
..if i think of anything else ill edit

EDIT: Famous Evo Vs. Lambo Top Gear (http://youtube.com/watch?v=5lJwlUJU-f8) I would like to see a Z do that...STOCK.

[Crashed_Again]

I am partial to AWD so I would tell you to buy an STI or an EVO. However, if you want a classier car that the ladies like, the Z car is the way to go.

I am sure you would enjoy either one.

[SovXietday]

I've driven both cars and i can tell you the EVO doesn't handle any better than a Z. They push the front end in hard corners were as the Z's stay planted and goes.

I can definitely believe it.

[Kevin]

your a typical DSM guy.:roll:

OMGz!!!!!!$%@%$##$! :roll::roll::roll::roll:


I watched my cousin wreck his 9 day '07 350z touring hitting a turn. Doubt the Evo would give up like that.:rock:

You're confusing driver error with vehicle handling.

[Kevin]

Yeooooo!! What's up Nostradamus? :(

[Sled]

yeah, cool in a drag race you got my brothers car beat. your cars is only gonna be faster because it has more power to pull threw the corner. im telling i have plenty of seat time in both cars. If my brother would let me autocross his Z I would, but thats not gonna happen. I'll keep working on him this summer. I'd put his car vs a stock evo on a road course anyday.

[turbo4g63]

My question is why are you asking other people what car YOU should buy? That makes no sense to me. Test drive both and see what you like better/suits your needs/what you feel more comfortable in

[Sled]

Im sure hes just trying to get a feel for how people like their 350Z and there EVOs.

[carbonfaddict]

What a vague question when no one knows what your goal is. Are you looking for a DD, drift car, drag, rr...etc? Answer that first and your question should be answered with ease!

[06evors]

your a typical DSM guy.:roll:

He's a typical DSM guy because he disagreed with you? I'm confused.

[drew32]

I'd go with an EVO personally.

[a-m-m]

EVO gets my vote...

[Sled]

He's a typical DSM guy because he disagreed with you? I'm confused.

he's a typical DSM guy because he thinks their the best car in the world and a 350z can't compare to it, which is wrong. Im not trying to start a fight here. I just stated what i know about both these cars from driving them, not just what i read about them. both are cool cars, but are very different. they both have high and low points.

[Kevin]

he's a typical DSM guy because he thinks their the best car in the world and a 350z can't compare to it, which is wrong.

And Evo isn't even a DSM but you think your Nostradamus or some **** too. I just know an Evo is going to out handle a 350z, FQ400 regardless.

[Sled]

i call all turbo mitsu's that because i dont care. It may not be right, but i dont give a $hit. I like EVO their cool, i just dont like SOME of their owners. Think what you'd like its a free country.

[Jon@WrightAgency]

Both are great cars. I owned an Evo 9 and also a G35 Coupe (basically a Z) and loved them both for what they are. The G/Z is a great platform for a daily driver/fun sports car. With a few light mods these cars are very fun, handle great, and have more than enough power for most people (on the streets that is).

The Evo is a pure beast. With a few light mods the car simply flys!!! It is also nice to have 4 doors and a nice large trunk.

Just depends on what you like, how you drive, and your overall situation. Either way, you cant go wrong, and it seems regardless of your pick you are going to have a Great car!

Best of Luck!

PS: Evo is more expensive to insure :)

[W_Evo]

To the OP what did you decide?

[05Accent]

yea what diid u get?

[get some]

i put this on here to see some different point of views and it helps when people that have these 2 types of cars give some input .still need to sell the honda but it looks like the evo.

[PUREKDM]

I vote for the Z.

there you have it...bitches love z's...hey i know a black one for sale for $16,500...if you need a z with work done to it (suspension, breathing, gearing) to toy with to see what they can REALLY do just give me a holler

but really they are COMPLETELY different...i say get a couple good rides in both and pick your cup 'o tea

couldn't've said it any better...both are great depending on what you're looking looking for...i have a lot of hills, curves by my house and love the rocket ship feeling when you're going VERY fast (understatement) in the z...my insurance (19 years old already 2nd accumulation of 6pts) is $170/month and car payment is $255.70/month...

Z's are chick cars but I totally suggest you buy PUREKDM's car for that price. You can't beat it.

[PUREKDM]

california casualties son...california casualties...

[Supdawg]

Both of these cars ride harsh, I have a performance model Z and I can't stand the ride. A friend of mine has an Evo and I think it rides equally as harsh. On the highway I think the Z rides nicer, but overall it feels like a small car. It also wheelhops like no other car I have driven. I am shocked I have not snapped the rear yet. I do think the Z is more reliable then the evo, and can be modded just as easily. I had a ati procharger on my Z with a full exhaust and it put down 368rwhp, those mods can be had for about 3k used and should be good for mid to low 12's with a good driver. RWD traction in the cold with a supercharger is not fun at all, Make sure you pick up a Z with traction control or you will be sideways in 3rd gear if the car has that much power. Personally if you want a nicer driving car, i would look into the 05+ Subaru Legacy GT's. They are much more refined then the Evo and can be had for about 15k for an 05 with decent miles. Plus alot of the upgrades used for the sti should work for the LGT since they share a similiar platform.

[Kevin]

Yea, I can't believe 350z's don't come with posi.

[kevin@dambrosio]

evo hands down.

[jdm free]

Z interiors suck ass...they look and feel so cheap and everything ****ing rattles.

take the evo

[Kevin]

The interior isn't that bad I don't think. Wish the seats went back some more but I find it pretty good. The evo is just better all around.

[diablesse]

just so you know, don't underestimate the carrying capacity of a Z. It's far more roomy than you think. I got 4 19" wheels with tires in there once. I also got a double futon mattress in the hatch and once an entire body kit. Sure it doesn't have back seats but all that means is that you won't have to chauffeur around your gf's fat third wheel of a friend.

Plus it has the tightest steering on any car I have ever driven. Super responsive.

[SUPRARICE87]

I think it sepends on the person's age, size, personallity. remember a car describes you. imo if your a young guy barely 19, old car was a honda civic si you would go with the evo. because it's an evo. and older guy would choose the z. i'm a little older I would choose the z. I know it's a stero type but there is some truth in it. plus if i was 19 i wouldnt think of a z. I would be like

"All no they are slow and can't take a turn!"

but for me it's about mastering control of your car and how it feels to you. I love the way a rwd car feel. I love the oversteer. understeer reminds me of my fwd days. now you drove a civic so evo wouldn't be a shock to you as far a handling you would go around corners faster etc. you would adapt faster.

rwd guys would just say upgrade your susp. and adapt. rwd would make you a better driver. but i'm not all that smart. I never even been to the track before.:rolleyes:

[Dego]

I have driven all 3 evo sti and 350. I chose the evo the possibilities are endless with it. Its easier to tune than the sti and the 350z does nothing for me. Suprarice 87 said it's a young guys car but Im 32 and all my cars previous to the evo were rwd. I still own a 87 Buick GN!!! The evo is and was my choice.

I'm 29. you know I'm right. A younger guy 17yrs old would enjoy an evo more than a rwd 350.

you on the other hand took it to another level. you took it pass that evo flash, and your exploring the more tech side. I mean your close to 400awhp. your on another level.

he comes from a fwd background so that's why I said that. I'm not looking at what you can do I'm looking at where he came from, age, and possible personalllity. It's kinda hard to feel when you never neet someone.:)

Just by looking at your post prominance and overall performance seems what your into. domestic or import. and boost is a must. your probrably not to heavy into drifting. I can't see you drifting a grand national and if you are ...stop.lol

A grand National?!. Man, you must be doin somthing right.
I NEED TO GET ON THE BALL!!!

[06evors]

The op already made up his mind, there really is no point anymore.
