Welcome to the site.

Bored of the EVO?

If you can afford the maintenance costs of the R35 or M3, then go for it. Otherwise, I think the Z34 is the way to go. Best bang for the buck, IMHO.

I wouldn't say I'm bored of it. I still love the Evo to be honest but I don't it's hard to explain.

I test drove a 370z around last summer and I actually liked it, sure it wans't as fast as my evo but I liked it. The clutch was a bit on the soft side to.

Understandable about pinning the reasons for another cool car. I think the Z is calling your name.

hmmm, all very different cars. Do your research on the true cost of ownership on all your choices and if you're still considering the same choices, I'd vote for the R35.

gt-r or 370z is the way to go. I definately think if you are going to track the car you will possibly have more fun in the 370z.

Skip the GT-R and M3, and go for the 370Z. Go over to the Forced Induction section, I think you'll know where to go from there. Good luck with whichever car you choose though.

if i were you, i would get a gt-r but i would wait for the 2012 model year because it will be faster than the 2011

370z and m3 are nice but the gt-r is in another league.

I"m leaning towards the GT-R...I've never had a rear wheel drive car before so i'm kind of on the fence about it. And I hav ebeen looking at the forced induction section and saw the GTM 500 package and it's calling my name.
