Trading Z to Evo

Vegitto-kun · 01-08-2011, 03:01 AM

I havent heard alot of good things about the new Evos.

only things I remember is shitty *** gearbox and extremely mod unfriendly.

maintaining costs alot of money? its like what? a oil change once or twice a year?

the tickets problem isn't the car but you.

Tires, Oil changes, Cleaning, Gas, Driving, Traffic, Weather Conditions.
Getting yelled at by all my friends and family for being shelfish and getting a 2 seater.

A. Evo X is way slower than 370z. I was smoking moddified EVO's and STI's with my then stock 370.

B. How the hell do you afford a 370 if your still in school, someone has to be obviously helping you pay your bills.

C. Some of your reasons to get rid of it you listed are "tires, gas, driving, cleaning, traffic, oil changes" Lets see, im at 15,000 miles and still on my stock tires, evo uses same premium gas and abut the same gas mileage, so I dont see your logic there, driving, well umm its a car thats what you fing do with it, cleaning...every car needs to be cleaned

and unless you have lights and sirens on your evo, traffic is NOT gunna clear up just because you have an evo. Only logical thing you said is weather conditions because yes, being a previous evo owner myself, that AWD does come in handy in the winter

D. If money is an issue, you will LOOSE big time by trading in for an evo

E. TRUE car enthusiasts prefer the gsr over mr because gsr is stick (no offense AT guys, but we all know MT is the true way to go with a sports car) as well as it being known that the MR's transmission cant handle much more hp than stock, so you have really no options in modding it

F. There are plenty more mods available for the 370z than there are the evo

G. I got pulled over WEEKLY when I had my evo, that thing is a HUGE cop magnet! I have not gotten pulled over ONCE in my 370 in 2 years. I drive the same way I did with my evo, and my Z is 10x louder and more modified. I believe the 370 is a true gentlemans car. So if your worried about tickets and stuff, you mind as well put a sign on your back that says "I have a lot of illegal drugs and weapons on my person" cause you will prob still have less issues with cops than you will driving around with an EVO at 21 years old

My advice? Get rid of your 370 for a 14k Jeep. Finish school, grow up, learn more about cars, get a steady job, and then come back and buy a 370. I myself will welcome you with open arms

The Evo X GSR's tranny is just about bullet proof and all Evo X's can get an easy 90+ brake horse power with just a tune ($500). They are about the cheapest performance cars to mod on the road today. A Tune, hard upper intercooler piping and exhaust will easily net you 110+ horsepower at the wheels. Evo's of the last generations continually set records in all race disciplines they participate in.

No. You will not get 90+ from just a tune. From a downpipe, cai, and a tune? Yeah, that's reasonable.

Keep in mind though -- even with all of that, you will just be touching what a 370Z has at the wheels, stock.

The Evo X is a great car -- don't get me wrong -- but if you are really looking for "big power" it is still going to cost you some major cash. You hit a wall around 330 that requires an investment to get past.

I'm not getting into this argument here, though.

It's a great car, but both the STi and the Evo are -not- the heroes they once were.

I completely understand it seems implausible that this is the case, but I assure you that there are many, many examples of this fact, remember this is 90 Brake horsepower, not at the wheels. Depending on the type of dyno of course and other factors, most stock X's sit at about 245 whp, with ONLY a tune 300 whp is easily, safely and reliably attainable (Keep in mind the additional parasitic drive train loss from being all wheel drive). I would be happy to provide further information if you would like. The 370z is a fantastic and very capable car, but there are plenty of reasons why the Evo is also a wonderful performance buy. It really shines once you start modding and does not require much to be extremely competitive. If anyone is ever curious, take a look at the many great forum resources and see for yourself.

Oh, alright, yeah. I was under the impression you were strictly speaking at the wheels.

My bad then.
