The z felt much smoother, and just feels more like a sports car. The looks, esp the interior, are a big step up as well. There are no amenities in the evo at all. From what I can tell, my evo feels quite a bit faster than the z, but I don't realy care as much about that as I used to.

The Z is definitely a faster car in stock form, it probably doesnt feel as fast because the power comes on more linear and not in a rush like something with a snail attached to it. It has less TQ, but 40+ more bhp, its also 250 lbs. lighter. As far as vibration goes, some people have complained about the rear stabilizer bar rattling against its plastic housing, sounds like its coming from the front but its actually from behind. However i've never experienced this problem. To me, all the gears feel notchy, but maybe thats just me. Test drive another before you make your decision and if you dont like the notchiness, the auto is an option, think if it as an MR minus the dual clutch.
