Go to a TTA or PTA NASA race. Take a look at what stock suspension Z06s can do. Handling better - you just think that. Evo needs a fair amount of work and upgrades to compete against a Vette. That's not some opinion. That's racing. What you are looking for is something you can modify as a hobby. You're real complaint is that you can't just throw money at a Vette for s/g's. In which, get a Honda Civic. You can **** away all the money you want on a car like that.

If you need more speed in this thing, which you probably do coming from a 67mm car, I'd spray this thing it will easily hold a solid 100-150 shot.
But Smike is right, take it to a track and you should see why this car is so badass.

Well the evo is a rally car by blood and with the proper adjustments and suspension, it will shine like no other. The vette can't even play once the gravel and dirt roads/snow come into play. ON the tarmac, the z06 should have no problem, but the evo would give it a great run for its money with the right setup. But when the z06 drives back home on the tarmac, the evo can take a shortcut in the woods.

That's all a Vette needs. (And on street tires - it's hands down faster than an Evo around a track. Don't let AWD fool you. Its a crutch if you let it be one. What's an Evo need to be truly competitive on the track or AX?
Don't get me wrong. I loved my Evo. Raced it too. Great track car. But when it comes down to tooling around out there or winning...I'd get a Vette. Pound for pound more car than the Evo.

The Evo does handle better. That's what the car does. It's not a drag machine, though it can make for a very good one, and it's not a show car that has a snowball's chance in hell of making it out of its own driveway without plowing, and it's not a canvas for someone's haphazardly conceived modding fantasies; it's a scalpel-precise cornering monster. Now, if you were to say that a typical forum-modded Evo doesn't handle better than a ZO6 that hasn't been similarly screwed up, sure, I agree completely. If you were to assert that a properly optioned ZO6 will have more grip than an Evo on street tires, OK again. This isn't meant to take anything away from the ZO6. It's a fantastic machine.

I loved my evo, I've raced both and there is no way i could agree that the evo was better handling even with 2x the suspension investment and parts.
