Dude S2000, mazda 6, STI, 350Z, all about the same price as the Evo and the Evo has the best STOCK 1/4 mile time. This is not a bias choice this is the best stock 1/4 mile for your buck....and 0 to 60!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if i trade in my car rite now ( i still owe like 17k) would i be on the bottom end of the deal? hhmmm.. i guess the evo seems more pratical lin my lifestyle. Honestly i was looking at the Evo and Rx-8 as my final two options before buying a car, then a week later i drove home with a Z. I totally forgot how that happened ....i think someone brain washed me..but i came to love the z.. its nice and ges a few attentions from ppl and not to mention all the girls

I came from a G35 coupe. Although not a fast. It was a quick car and handled like none other on HKS Coilovers. I dont like turbo lag, And the bilstein has too much body roll for me. But holler at me in 3 weeks when im on megan coils with 300whp, and ill prolly tell you something different.
Buy the evo. You miss the Z, but not all that much...
Thats interesting I used to see a 26 yr old teacher from Los Angeles who wondered why I would pay so much for a Mitsubishi? After I let her drive it she never shut up about it, she loved it.

I used to have 04 touring 350z.. traded it in for EVO IX MR

i like it .. its worth it

350z is sweet for LOOKS.. you will get compliments everywhere you go .. just put some VOLKS on and your good to go
EVO.. i dont know about your state.. but here i get pulled over alot
in the 350z I got pulled over once... wreckless driving doin 107 on highway and got arrested for it

I do sometimes miss my 350z.. but that thing is damn slow, well my car was.

you will like it .. traded it in

things you gotta know about the EVO....
1. Less comfy than the Z
2. you will get alot of ricers reving when they see you
3. gas will be a B**ch
4. cheap interior
5. Cheap Paint


Overall .. i am pretty happy with my EVO. and i am thinking of getting a an 07 350z


and forget Girls complimenting it ... all i got from a girl was 'Nice Tricked out Lancer' .. pissed me off









to EVO

What? Since when is any factory F/I car expensive as hell to mod?

I dunno, $85 MBC for a 25-30whp gain doesn't seem bad to me.

used to own a 91 300ZX TT it ran mid 12's all day, was going to trade for a 350Z but went and test drive a 350Z....then test drive the EVO, well I have own the EVO since then.

Things I like about the Evo over the 300ZXTT and 350Z, the evo handle much better and it lighter in weight. Evo are easier to modify and has more potential.

TRADE-IN
The only way you'll get a good deal on your trade in is if your kbb trade in value is anywhere near what you owe. I was lucky since i had a toyota (which hold value very well) Otherwise, sell on autotrader.

ATTENTION
As for the two cars....If you want attention from females, Z all the way. I can't tell you how many looks I got when i drove around. The Evo on the other hand, gets A LOT of attention....but from 90% guys. But my motto is "You don't need a tight car if you have tight game"

POWER
The VQ35 is a soulless engine, it's in almost the whole line of Nissan/Infiniti cars. When you drive the 4G63, you'll know that there's performance under your foot that no soccer mom driving an SUV has. The power isn't impressive feeling (atleast with intake/exhaust combo) It's very smooth and DRINKS GAS because it's a V6. When you feel the spool in the Evo, anyone in the car will say "Whoa"

PS...Coming into some trunk space will be nice, trust me.

.02 from someone that has driven both

when you trade in they NEVER give you what its worth, try to sell it on you own. Advertise on Cars.com an autotrader.com and your local news paper.....you WILL sell it. Go to blue book.com or cars .com to see what it worth.....good luck
