Mistubishi EVO vs 370Z

EVO_Killer · 08-10-2009, 08:12 AM

Yep DIY...

Steven at Amplified said both the HKS coil overs and the Magden computer are pretty easy installs. So to try and save a few bucks (for more toys) I'll give them a whirl. (Helps that I work at a dealership and can use a lift)

Pics and write up to follow.

I'm trying not to get involved in this again, but you're making it hard. Don't make posts that you ASSUME others will interpret the same way as you . It was a post that included inaccurate information and you got called out on it. Nobody would assume that you were talking about the MR only. The obvious and logical response is going to be to assume that you don't know what you are talking about.

Ask myself why someone would say that? I'd think because they have absolutely no clue what they're talking about.

Do you realize how stupid this statement sounds? I mean seriously, WTF are we, mind readers?

What if I said "the 370Z only comes in auto"... what would YOU assume?

Nice try at trying to blame everyone else for your lack of knowledge.

epic fial

370z base auto or stick
370z base+sp auto or stick
370z touring auto or stick
370z touring sp auto or stick

Evo x GSR stick
Evo x MR auto

if you do your homework on the evo x you would know that if someone says the evo x doesnt even come in stick they must be talking about the mr. yeah i admit that i should've posted that in my post and not expect everyone to know that i must be talking about the mr. i mean its sooooo hard to understand the fact that the evo x auto he must be talking about the mr.

i mean someone calls the evo x an only auto car. How can we know that he must be talking about the mr. Im sorry if that was to hard for you to understand. you dont really need to be a mind reader to figure out that if someone says auto evo x then their talking about the mr, because unlike the 370 you dont get to pick what you want. its either get the gsr stick or mr auto Thats it.

I was hoping I had already cleared this up, but since it's apparent that it still being confused I will clarify. The Evo X MR is not an auto. The GT-R is not an auto. They have a dual clutch which uses paddle shifters. This is not the same as an automatic transmission. Just because there is no stick shift and clutch pedal does not make it an auto. The physics are completely different behind an auto and a dual clutch.

I don't want everyone to get read your posts and think they are automatic transmissions, because they are not. As for your debate on whether or not we should have assumed you meant the MR, I'm not going to comment on that.

are you serious? thats like me saying the Z only comes in auto... what would be your first reply to that? umm no its manual and auto - stop defending a silly post you made - man up and just let it be...

So is an Evo X GSR not an Evo X? Because making an idiotic blanket statement like "the Evo X only comes in auto" would imply not only the MR, but the GSR as well, since they're BOTH Evo Xs.

And I need to do MY research? LMAO. There isn't a damn thing you can tell me about Evos that I don't already know.

EDIT: +1 to what Ryan said... it's not even a auto transmission.

travisjb · 08-12-2009, 01:01 AM

... created a special thread for the EVO vs 370z (in no particular order !) debate to rage on ad infinitum ! Have at it !

Z versus EVO thread!

Nismo 370z · 08-12-2009, 03:52 AM

Havent u guys noticed by now? Take a look at armens screen name. Those last 3 letters are a dead give away. No wonder why he hates the Evo so much...

ct63084 · 08-12-2009, 04:32 AM

I lol'd.

There's 8 second full interior Evos out and you guys think that a TT kit on the 370z would blow it away?

Seriously?

KingDavid · 08-12-2009, 01:02 PM

Here's a full nterior 8 second Evo.

YouTube - AWD Motorsports Evo RS.. 1st Evo Street Car in the 8's!!!

So everytime a TT 370z lines up with an EVO its magically gonna turn into this 8 second EVO? Seriously?

I get what you are saying but thats one car. There are many EVO's that will lose to a tt Z of any generation so no need to bring up the big dog street EVO everytime someone talks of beating a EVO. You know they can be beaten and have been by tt Z's in the past. BTW didnt IP do 8's in a stock bodied Z? I could be wrong as I havent been keeping up lately.
