New Car and Driver review of the 370z... oil temp fail!

UNKNOWN_370 · 09-08-2011, 11:54 PM

I have a lot of respect for the Evo. Its an econobox with all the right pieces and imo its a true sports car. Some of my forum brothers think that 2 seats in there car give them some kind of extra authenticity in the sports car world. It takes a more than a seat count to call out what's a sports car and what isn't.
But I will race an Evo, any day, any time and any place. I know the evo has a lot of "make me look like a great driver technology. " the Z is more about a balanced platform where modding must be done from scratch. Evo's are pre-prepped for cobb tuning to get you 180hp with $6k.
As far as who's better? Let's shut off all guidance systems and drive on the raw. The Z is no joke. You can read all the limp mode articles you want. A good track driver won't go past 255 degrees on a well maintained sparcely modified Z. Evo owners are dilusional if they think we can't hang???
I don't care if the Z needs $1250 in parts to avoid a possible limp mode? (There are plenty of us that never had this happen). Its the most balance car of the bunch. Balance is everything.

On a side note. The evo is hella fun! Gotta love the evo too.
