Gotta remember the 370Z is quite a bit lighter than the Evo X, and has wider tires in the rear, wider wheels both front and rear, and has double wishbone suspension, and has more even weight distribution. While I have driven the 370Z and an Evo X back to back, I did not get the chance to push the Evo around corners hard, I can see why the 370Z would come out on top in handling.
