Yeah the CTS-V on paper looks super good, I seen one at the track here and it did live up to its name so the one that you saw loose to the Subaru probably just didint know how to drive.

In any case I will not trade my Z for a Cadillac anytime soon

Get a 335 good balance between comfort, performance and looks the coupe looks sexy. If you want to go balls out on performance mod get the n54 335i as they have more potential than the n55 single turbo, this is not officially confirmed but one of the guys in e90post opened up the n54 and it had forge internals. 135 is nice but too small.

Correcting what I said below, It seems 335's built before Dec 2009 is for sure to have forged internals, anything after that no one knows. Also early cars have bolted diffs, which make a LSD swap much easier.

If you want to track the car i would get the evo over the sti and 335. STI's dont respond well to mods compare to the evo, you would also need to upgrade the block sooner than the evo x. The 335 is expensive once you break something. The 4b11t is good for at least 400 wtq, has good aftermarket support.

BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - The N54 engine pistons are cast (and not forged).

C63 looks like something a government retiree would drive at age 65, no thanks, he can keep his power. I may be a bit biased, but all this talk of BMW is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, granted, yes, I live in Germany and 335's, 135's, M3's are a dime a dozen, literally. My girlfriend is a kindergarten school teacher and drives a fully loaded 335i, my god what boring looking cars. BTW, I literally passed 3 R8's on the way in to work today, a few S8's as well. I'll try to break out the iphone cam on my drive home today and show you guys what I mean.

The EVO, dollar for dollar is one of the quickest (Road and Track June 0-60 4.3 seconds and 13 flat in quarter) and best handling (October Car and Driver 1st place in Handling for under $40,000) cars you can buy. It is also roomy enough for 4-5 and has AWD for the nasty weather (most RWD cars dont go well in snow). Also if you get bored with the stock speed, the EVO is one of the easiest cars to mod.
I have owned Audi, BMW, Saab, Mazda, Toyota and many VWs, Fords and lesser makes.
I highly recommend a test drive. While the EVO is not perfect, it is the answer to most needs. I never even considered Mitsubishi until this year...just never gave them a thought. When I drove it I was sold. I never knew what I was missing. Best wishes no matter what you get.

Are you looking to trade your car in and get something close to the price of the trade?

zcoupe09

Thanks for all the info guys....I currently own my Z outright so I may try to sell privately before getting raped on a trade...I've narrowed it down to the EVO ...STi and possibly a 335. Gonna start going for test test drives...ill keep u guys posted

Just my opinion, but the EVO would be the winner for me. That is, unless you want luxury interior then the 335.

Nizmo0533

I think 335i with red leather seats is so cool!!!

Pushing_Tin

Given the choice between those two I'd take the 335 as a DD any day. If you want more of a track oriented car the Evo for sure.

get a Evo X :P

I hear the sedan gets better numbers than the coupe. Go figure. I love the coupe bodystyle though, but the sedan is a formidable option.
