Chewbacca exhaust? Can you even hear the stock exhaust?

Chewbacca?!
My Z scares the V8's!
lol...
I honestly think they should've compared the 370Z with a CaymenS.
I took one down last week and man did I feel awesome!

In the end the Z only lost because a "sports car" shouldn't be over heating after a few laps. I don't care how many people insist that you don't need an oil cooler; a "sports car" at $40k should be perfectly capable of track use. It's a shame that it comes handicapped from the factory.

Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evo X vs Nissan 370Z - FastestLaps.com

If we're talking performance, it's not even close. The Evo X isn't faster, period. They obviously can't drive. The Evo weighs more, has less power, and doesn't handle as well. You only buy the Evo X if you like the style and/or you have kids. You don't buy the Evo if you plan on beating a Z.

i would never buy a evo over a Z. just dont like the looks of those things. i like STI better if anything.

the eye of the beholder
 

I just can't get into this 4 door thing

The look of the 370Z is pretty compelling

for the money it is a steal

Its crazy that the Evora did so well with such lil power. I had a dealer trying to push one on me a few weeks ago for 20k under sticker. When they make a TT kit for it I might consider

Not much compares to the handling capability of Lotus cars in general. I am waiting to see if they beef up the HP and might consider it then (as another to add to the collection 'cause I cannot get rid of the Z's).

It is a bit of a catch 22. Most cars see the same oil temps the Z does, they just don't have limp mode to protect them.

MOst cars don't have a functional oil temp gauge...

Less than a second on track? Thats the difference between crappy Bridgestones Potenza and rocking Yoko Advan ADO8

Cant just make a judgement between the cars by just 1 article.

Yup, you are likely right. I know on top gear australia episode (a vid I found on youtube) also said the 370z beat the Evo X's lap time. The video is actually a 350/370 comparison:
