Just my opinion, not trying to **** anyone off.

I think driving the new z06 will make just about ANY car owner go through the motions of "man, I'd love a car like that... should I???". Anyone who says differently is kidding themselves. The z06 will perform well straight, on a track, whatever. It's an unbelievable car, and rivals any as being THE performance value. Like donmeca said ^ I'm love my Evo and don't want anything different right now, but if I had the chance to have a new z06, I'd be all over it...

Thanks for the kind words guys. All the wrong gears have been ticking in my head for days. After the Z06 drive, my EVO just seem slow. That thing just picks up and slams you into your car seat, in any gear. The reason why I get on the net to ask fellow EVO enthusiast is because I don't want to make a wrong decision and have to regret it for the next 5 years. I came from a WRX to the EVO because the EVO was everything the little WRX couldn't. You get a WRX over 280awhp/tq and start seeing tranny problems. I've seen plenty of WRX brothers with similar symptoms to switch over to an EVO. I still owe alot on the EVO ($25k) and would be taking a beating on the trade in. $1000 in car payments isn't too bad for me either, I'd prefer not to pay it though.

the car is point blank AMAZING, anyone who says well this...and well that....and makes excuses about it, just drive it and then please try to say the same things...it makes your mouth drop with the power it creates, not only the power it creates but the power you feel...its all there and raw theres no waiting for it, no boost, no lag, its just instant neck snapping raw power, maybe you might not be into that but 1 drive might change your opinion..

The car, and engine are unreal for the price. I wish I had enough money for one, i would buy it over an evo in a heartbeat. Where are the "its interior sucks" comments... oh thats over on clubrsx? I truly believe any person making a negative comment about it has not driven in one.

i myself am considering a Z06, but from a practical standpoint it is not worth it. the Evo and the Z06 are two completely different cars, so comapring them either way isnt fair, but they are the best value cars for their respective classes/price range. think of it this way:
if you are a prospective Ferrari/Porsche 911 Turbo buyer and are looking to get the most bang for your buck, take a look at the Z06
if you are a prospective C6/C6 Z06/Boxster S/911/M3 buyer and are looking to get the most bang for your buck, take a look at the Evo
if you are a prospective Ferrari/Porsche 911 Turbo buyer and are looking to get the most bang for your buck, take a look at the Z06
if you are a prospective C6/C6 Z06/Boxster S/911/M3 buyer and are looking to get the most bang for your buck, take a look at the Evo
