so i'll stick with my reasoning... AWD.... maybe someone else can chime in and give more of a accepted answer

I have owned both. The EVO is definitely quicker and more fun to drive, on the street, and especially the racetrack, where the awd gives you an advantage to come out of the corners faster, because you can hammer the throttle while you are unwinding the wheel. Try that in a 350Z and you will swap ends for sure.
Sorry guys, I agree the 350Z is much better looking, and a chick magnet too.

Aparrently they are going to make the new skyline 2007 yr out of the G35 Infinity body. Personally I think the old style rocks so y change it? I Hate teh Upwards Headlights. The Evo's Headlights are soo much more sexy. However I do liket he G35 taillights.

You can only see SOOOO many Z's drive by everyday. Anytime someone catches a glance of an EVO their head snaps.
Example. A year ago or so I was driving down to Naples to visit my girl. Never ever saw an EVO in this area before..except one night down 75 I spotted a yellow one so to make a long story short I nearly totalled my car by flying off the road staring at the EVO. Then when I got there I told her the good news lo;p

the awd is what gives the evo a great 1/4 time. other than that its gearing and a moderately high redline of 7200. the reason why modified evos are faster than modified z's is because the evo is a factory turbo charged car and its motor is designed to handle huge boost loads. the 4g63 is an amazing engine in terms of hp capacity on stock internals. some have upto 600 hp on stock internals.
