I am looking at the EVO and Z...I am 80% EVO and 20% Z (fethering issue is a major con)

Why did you trade?

Tire fethering never went away?

tire feathering happened for the 03 models, i have an 03 superblack enthusiast, but i never had any tire problems, and tranny problems, mine was alright, just evo is better for winter snow car in michigan, both are different cars, i would say the Z is good but not practical

I am always reading up on www.my350z.com and the 04' guys are having the feathering issue too...

Yes the Z is not practical for a daily driver...

Which one is funner to drive? The Evo I am guessing...

I saw a black srt-4 black without the wing, lowered. Looked good, but I thought it was a neon from the back. lol.

Since the ACD's out on 05' evo's, you really can't beat the evo, for the price, looks, handling, power... Sti sorta fall short on performance but interior is super nice.

SRT-4's got the worst interior, and the viper seats are now option, but for the money, you can't beat that car in that class.

Hrmm....

A wrong-wheel-drive domestic.

OR....

A car that has more room, more power, AWD, and a proven track record of kicking a$$ and taking names.

Not a hard decision for me, aside from them being in two totally different price ranges. However I think I may be slightly biased.

Bang for the buck on the neon is good, but it's still a neon.

You get what you pay for man!

You should talk to the 2 guys I work with who have 350Zs and have never seen the front of my car!

Did you really think that the majority on a EVO board would say srt?

Plus their not even in the same price range.

I can guarantee that the next generation srt-4 will NOT be FWD. Since the neon and lancer will share the same platform it will either get a shared AWD system or an exclusive RWD.

With the RWD trend currently coming out of the DaimlerChrysler family one can only imagine what the outcome will be.

2.4 liter turbo + RWD = OWNAGE!
