Mistubishi EVO vs 370Z

EVO_Killer · 07-30-2009, 10:48 AM

Wow thats gorgeous!!! I bow down to the turbo....

Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Evo's. Hell my names Lance... as if I shouldn't be driving a Lancer Evo. It's just my experience trying to buy one that made the Evo Killer...

Would love to race though......

Care to put that name of yours to a friendly exhibition around the track?

Ryan, are you by chance coming to Socal for the Redline Time Attack Finals in November with Sharif?

I'd love to see how the two of us would compare on this high speed track!

RCZ · 07-30-2009, 11:10 AM

That Evo looks all business, love it. Might have sold me on the wheels too.

I'm just giving you a hard time. I love 370s, and enjoy a nice Z vs Evo competition/discussion.

Not sure yet. Probably not, it's so far away, lol. If I can make I will. The car stays on the east side of the country for the most part.

BTW didn't you used to work for Robi?

AME TME-02. I also have a set of CE28N Flat Black which are my favorites

Ryan@Forged · 07-30-2009, 01:14 PM

Picture with the CE28s, but no trunk on

Sick Evo Ryan.

Honestly Evo is almost always a better bang for the buck EXCEPT when it comes to handling...

Handling - 370 better bang for the buck
Power / tuning - hands down evo
Looks / interior / luxury - wash between the two...

you can't be serious...

Brazilbro · 07-30-2009, 04:24 PM

Having had both i would say that the EVO is better in almost everything but LOOKS. Handling is a wash.. but with a TT kit the Z will be better in everything.

shabarivas · 07-30-2009, 05:33 PM

Just because the Evos computers make each turn you take feel seamless... it DOES not mean that its better than the Z. If you had the same amount of power in both cars... and similar suspension mods done... I have a feeling a Z will be getting better numbers in almost any track. AWD is nice.. but im over it... I want something that makes me feel like I am the one doing the driving not the car itself...

Have you ever driven an Evo? The car does not drive itself. If you had the same amount of power?.... This isn't a "what if" analysis, it's factual. You have to compare the 2 cars as they are. Have you driven your Z on a track? If you have been on the track with either of these cars you would find out real fast the difference between them. The Z's are not outrunning the Evos. In fact the Evos are the fastest cars in time attack right now, period. I am around these cars all day long. I like the Z on many more levels. MUCH nicer car in my opinion. However, better handling than an Evo? Not the case in any way.

its much easier for an average driver to drive a 4wd evo that has a computer telling it what to do every milli second then a rwd 370z.

i know if i was on a track right now i would be able to get a better time with an evo then a 370 but thats because im just an average driver and im not able to push a rwd car with the traction control off to its limits. But if a professional racing driver is doing the driving and its a stock 370 vs a stock evo the 370 would get a better time

EVO_Killer · 08-01-2009, 08:00 AM

All this talk makes me still want an Evo... Would love it as a project car. To bad they are stupid expensive in Canada.

Got some new toys... Check em out.

You really need to do your homework. Explain to me where and how a computer is telling the driver what to do in an Evo? I own 2 Evo's and have not seen this. Should I go back to the dealership and complain that my cars didn't come with this self driving software? You may want to go and drive one before you make incorrect assumptions about the car. There is nothing on the Evo that drives itself nor is there a computer that tells you what to do. I think the 370z's rev-matching feature makes it drive itself more than an Evo does.

I'll keep your assumptions about Z's being faster around the track in mind as the Evo's continue to tear up time attack events across the country.
