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.

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:

Cool review!

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

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).

Around VIR the Evora does similar to a mustang GT. It's nothing to write home about imo. Not for the price.

To be fair, VIR full course is very much a power track.

It is, but then, so are most real-world driving situations except for maybe Tail of the Dragon or your weekend mall parking lot cone course.

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

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