man you will want that evo after a few months, my best friend who works for nissan bought a 350z and i bought an evo. i put 1,000 dollars into my car and he put almost 10,000 dollars into his 350z. now i will tell you this he would out handle me, but on the highway i would slowly pull him, he then realized that another 1,000 dollars into my evo and he would really be wishing for another 10,000 dollars for a turbo upgrade to keep up with the evo. so instead he sold the Z and bought an evo, the nissan's arent very mod friendly, to get real good power out of one you have to step up and get the turbo.

 

Yeah, I know, perhaps the Hayabusa is fast as hell but I have seen in Speed International Raceway(Tucson) a Suzuki GSX-R 600cc doing 14.1@110 and crappy times like that.

On top speed the Evo with a couple of mods can step toe to toe with a 600cc in top speed. Change cams, do a reflash and a couple of other things and you are face to face with the 750cc bikes on Top speed.

Have a look on the 1/4 mile registry, there is so many EVO breaking into the 11's and low 12's that break the 120mph barrier.

I still think that yes, the bikes are faster but not by that much overall.

my .50c

 

acctually your right, my friend has around 400 hp evo and he ran a zx-6r on the highway one night and stayed right with it no problem.

 

I have to disagree.....your average performance car does the 1/4 in 14 seconds or so.....your average 1000cc streetbike does the 1/4 in 10 seconds flat. A full 4 seconds is an incredibly huge amount. 600cc bikes should average 12 seconds or under in the 1/4 mile. Cars only have a hope when mod them unmercifully......or you can just buy an $8k bike

 

Congrats on the 350Z Low J. I'm also thinking of selling the SRT-4 and getting an Evo. I have a dream commute through the East Bay hills and I think it would be the perfect match for AWD.

BTW...Haven't seen you in the SRT forums in a while. I've sorta lost interest over there too.

 

beautiful car Loj, it will look nice parked next to mine, will you have by this sat for the meet?

i think you made the right choice, even tho i would die to have an evo, even an RS, i wouldn't trade my oz for an rs just b/c i would have to hum all the songs i know and like the other guy said, after 30 minutes you would be bored with it.


still, i've known you for a little while and another thing, your tall as fawking hell, how the hell are you gonna fit in a god damn Z??!! i'm 6'3" and i think i would be uncomfortable.

(i still think you will end up with a evo at some point)

 

RS stay away from the 350z

 

Tim just took me to pick up my Z.....it's beautiful......I'm in love. We rode up in the EVO though so the Z seems kinda slow now especially since I can't go over 4000 rpm's for the first 1200 miles

 

WHY!!!!!

ugh the back end on that thing is horrible and is the reason i have no car..grrrrrr

 

i'm switching from a 350z to an evo, lol , we're the exact opposite, but nice choice though, if i didn't need practicality i would keep it ,

 

congrats, and any pics yet?

 

hey man, I aint mad at yah! the Z is a great car. I personally had one my self but when i went to the dealer the following week after I got my Z I test drove the evo and it felt so much better. I mean, the Z just felt a little to rough at high rpm's to me. But besides all this, the Z is a good car. ENJOY!

 

i should have let you drive there... we may have had to change the check so it would be made out to mitsubishi


i love the color on the Z though.. best color next in like is that burnt orange

Dont worry all its a good car just a heck of a deal dont know if i would have been able to choose between the two for the deal that they offered up on the Z

 

thanks for the ride by the way......I'm still hearing that sweet blowoff in my sleep

 

bad tim bad!!!! he was supposed to get an evo lol
