This sentence alone explains your understanding on this matter. Lets take the Evo 8 (03-04) for example. No computer controlled power distribution, no ACD, no AYC, etc. By your logic it is no match for a 350z (comparable by production year?) or 370z (modern RDW). Would you really like to put that theory of yours to the test? That reasoning couldn't be further from the truth.

AWD 100% of the time = under steer, under steer and some more under steer for a basic driver and a great challenge for a professional driver

Once again, false assumption. Where many AWD cars are notorious for understeer, it does not apply to every AWD car. In this case where we have been comparing Evo's I think you would be surprised how little understeer these cars have.

You're right it is, I guess that means it is also inferior than your 370z. Once again, care to put that to the test? It's a 10 year old AWD system, it should be no match for the modern RWD car that you drive.

I don't know about other Evos, but mine is AWD (permanent 50/50 split)100% of the time.

You can completely disable the traction control in an Evo X as well... ******* thing handles WILD with it off. Don't know what you're doing and you'll sure as **** spin it.

LOL@only wanting an MR.

either way at the end of the day

370z 2 seater rwd much better then a 4 door family sedan tuned up

when it comes to looks its better too so its mostly jealousy comming from evo owners

the evo x was on my shopping list until i heard about the 370z

rwd 2 seater is a better choice in a sports car then a 4 door awd sedan

ill stick to my opinion and you stick to yours.

Ha ha - That you did not imply

... no worries tho... we dont think any less of you for having an EVO ... they are amazing cars in their own right... where else do you find something that you can throw 10k into and go Lambo hunting with

...

Just the same way you think that an SRM / twin clutch is taking the skill out of driving... I believe that an AWD also takes the skill out of driving lol... this is more opinion than fact... but the fact that one is easier to drive begs the question... you are coming through loud and clear... its just that your opinions seem hard to infer info from...

Ryan@Forged · 08-03-2009, 05:04 PM

Ha ha

I'm a bit outnumbered so I have to stand my ground sometimes

I have a GTR too if it helps my case (have to own at least 1 Nissan

)

Ya, a lot of times I have so much going on over here I don't get to get my entire though out. Half my posts are jumbled up thoughts after thinking about a ton of other stuff.

I think a standard AWD system is different, not easier to drive, but that is an entire different discussion that we won't get into right now

shabarivas · 08-03-2009, 05:48 PM

Agreed - lets just say - both have their advantages and disadvantages... I am all for the Evos tearing it up in time attacks and autoX

I tend to get into my debates as well ... but I intend no harm by my comments ... all in the name of friendly discussion / debate

Ryan@Forged · 08-03-2009, 08:37 PM

agreed

It's all in good fun and makes for a good discussion. I am waiting to see the 370z's hit the T/A scene more.

^ better start modding if you want to beat m3's

DuReichstSoGu · 08-05-2009, 06:35 PM

Evo killer?

Maybe with some driving skills you can possibly be a evo killer yet my friend.

Don't be deceived by those family sedans, they are notoriously fast and driven by hormone driven youngster fast coffins they are, evos...

What are you ... fukin Yoda? lol... you could beat M3s just not the new ones...

Scott@FontanaNissan · 08-05-2009, 08:09 PM

Wow...this is still going on???

Here's my .02 -- learn to drive what you have...you'd be surprised what types of cars you can beat...and it doesn't always necessarily mean that your car is faster either...most of the time you were just the faster driver.

Everytime I go to the track, I beat cars that I really shouldn't...but its the nut behind the wheel that should be tightened first!!!

As the saying goes, straights are for fast cars...and corners are for fast drivers!!!
