By the way what do you do for a living 22 years old and about 100k worth of cars and parts seems a little odd( just curious). The reason I sold the Srt4 was solely for financial security and the park avenue was a freebie. Anyways id like more opinions on the pros and cons and a little less on the money factor ill handle that by myself. thank you

I'd rather give you a warm kick in the pants than put on a facade of "oh hi there, welcome to the site!" Seems a lot more useful to me

But you've come down to 2 very good choices for cars that are very well built, come quick out of the box, have nice-ish (ish referring to the Evo) interiors, and are relatively affordable. If you envision wanting to modify the car and make it much faster than stock, go with the Evo. If you don't plan on doing any modifications to the car, choose the 370Z. It is a much better driver's car - stock-for-stock - than the Evo X. It is better balanced, smoother, lighter, more horsepower, etc... I honestly prefer how the stock 370Z drives to the Evo X. It's tighter and more responsive.

I will tell you that insurance on the 370Z will cost almost 2x as much as for the Evo X. It's purely ridiculous how expensive it is. My Evo retailed at around $37.5k ... the Z was more like $34k. It doesn't make any sense to me that our Z literally costs twice as much to insure as the slightly older Evo X. The Evo is BY FAR more expensive to repair because of all of its moving parts.

And to answer your question, I sell and market illicit drugs for a living. But no, not really, I'm a senior software developer and also do contract software work on the side.
