Mistubishi EVO vs 370Z

So by that logic... how is a twin clutch not taking the "skill" out of driving ie - shifting? Are you serious? If SRM is taking skill away then so does a twin clutch... I agree that they are progressing towards making driving "easier" - whatever that means haha... but in an AWD car - which was unheard of until recent years - you get all 4 wheels on the ground w/ power... which is also a "technological advance" if you remember that it used to be JUST FWD and RWD.... so could we say that AWD takes skill away from driving? absolutely not... just like that SRM and dual clutches are just the way things are headed... its evolution... (no pun intended ) ... and it will be widely accepted once it proves itself ... just like AWD did.. just like dual clutches are doing now...

If you are saying it takes more skill to drive an evo at the limit than it does to drive a Z at its limit.. then you are lying to yourself... with all that said.. I do miss my X

a twin clutch IS taking skill out of driving, I did not say it didn't. That was actually part of my previous point. I don't think one is worse than the other, they are equal in my mind. Wow, I am really not getting through to you. Nowhere did I say an Evo takes more skill to drive at the limit, all I said is that the Evo does not drive itself. I am a firm believer that RWD is more challenging to drive than AWD.

to make things a little bit clear when i posted before i was talking about the evo x. it distributes power to any wheel needed to gain traction to make the car handle better. i dont need to explain this to anyone because im sure most of you know this. a 370z does not do that, in fact most of the people turn off the traction control so that their in the control of the car.


about SYNCRO REV.

i learned how to drive stick on my 370z. within 2 weeks i was heel and towing and i was rev matching. i also learned how to dump the clutch and all the little goodies. BUT from the first time i got into the car i simple turned off the S-mode and i havent used it since. WHy? because i dont need the cars computer telling me what to do, i dont need the cars computer controlling each and every single movement that i make with the car. most of the passionate drivers who buy the 370z stick dont even use the syncro rev. the only time i could see myself using that is if im so tired that i cant even move my legs to make my job easier but like i stated before i dont like to use it and thats why i bought a manual car.

the only reason modern AWD cars keep up with the rwd cars is because of the cars computer system. if it was just a basic AWD 100% of the time it wouldnt even be a match for a rwd.

Modern AWD cars = perfect handling for anyone.. crappy driver, professional driver etc...

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

RWD = hard to drive for a basic driver...... a beast in the hands of a professional driver.

modding? ive tooken a Porsche carrera s... my cars STOCK

its all about the driver



by the way i just remembered something the evo x doesnt even come in stick lol




yeah and the nissan that you own is still computer controlled lloll

Ryan@Forged

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.


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.


Seriously dude? Really?... Please do some homework before you make posts like this.

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.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

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.
