Seriously?

I'm sure you can come up with more important things in your life to be concerned about if you put a little thought into it.

Nope, dry as a bone. Think it was about 25*C outside that day.

20,100km. Lets just say im not going with the same tuner...

Sti's and Evo's with stock turbos move like they are in molasses in higher gears. Boost is fun when it kicks in but how often are you cruising in third or mid 4th anyway. My buddy has a 2004 STi making 275whp while my Z in peak form was putting close to 310-320whp, it wasn't even close.

Yeah, that was kind of a joke, you know, AWD = pray for rain.

I will say this, though, your results at an event like that vs. cars running on street tires with who knows who driving them or how hard they are pushing aren't really a valid measurement of anything other than how much your own driving improved over the course of several events. :tiphat:

I owned an EVO too, it is a toss up with the Z stock to stock and that is simply because the EVO comes with better tires stock. EVO has shorter gearings and more torque, but it lacks the straight line speed and balance.

Do you really think your car is faster than a Viper? You might be faster, but not the car.

Also I have a better chance of seeing a chupacabra than a stock evo anyway, most have intake/exhaust and the whole works with it.

thats all matter of opinion. When i owned a Cobalt SS/SC, my girlfriend and I went to look at a 2008 EvoX. The big turn off for me was it had 4 doors. I wanted a coupe 2 door. Then traded the Cobalt in for a 370z, then traded that in for my SRT-10. Then traded the SRT-10 in for my 2011 EvoX. I recently blew the engine in my evo and while im rebuilding it i picked up a 03 cavalier for $600. God damn it pisses me off not having 4 doors. It's such a pain in the *** having to either put my seats forward for someone to sit in the back or put **** in the trunk instead of just tossing it in the back seats.

As for the old granny 4 door car. Well this old granny car was picking on and beating up a 09 Viper ACR, 05 Viper (intake, headers, mid pipe, exhaust, throttle body and tune), 05 Corvette at the track. The only one in my run group that was a challange was a STi. Me and the driver of the STI were fighting for second place all day and only a tenth of a second between our lap times.

423hp EvoX GSR vs. 05 Viper - Time Attack - YouTube

imo, the EvoX is better then the 370z, and i've owned both and tracked both. The EvoX is better on and off the truck, end of story...lol.

Word.

Im trading my Z now for a civic eco. :nutswinger:

Why are you annoyed. You should be smug like me that you are driving an attractive car instead of an ugly *** EVO or STI, regardless of those car's 1/4 mile times.

I own a 2010 wrx which has the 265 hp. And have test driven an STI and a 370z. I fell in love with the 370z when I test drove it, but from the short amount of time I drove it, I can say that the WRX and STI definitely felt quicker to highway speeds than the Z. Granted that the Z I test drove was a brand new 2012 and I didnt go past 4k rpm, but even with me not going past 4k rpm my wrx "feels" quicker. But then again a turbo cooper S might feel quicker in first than several NA cars.

To make everyone happy, ill compair my EvoX vs my 370z that i had at the same track, stock for stock. Yes the Evo is AWD so ill leave out how it handled around turns. First of all the best thing about the evo...it doesnt over heat!!. We would do 7 laps at the track, lap 4 with the 370z i would go into limp mode...enough said on that.

Brakes.... i can come into a turn a hell of alot faster and brake later (but yet still hit the apex) with the Evo. The 370z i had no confidence in the brakes at all.

The only part that the 370z beat the Evo on the track imo was straight line. Which doesnt mean ****, hence why i beat 2 vipers that would pull away from me on the rear stretch but i would quickly catch up and pass with braking later and taking turns faster.

I'm not downing the 370z by any means. But imo the EvoX is better then 370z on and off the track. For off the track it has less blind spots then the Z, the clutch engagements are alot smoother, it has 4 doors and alot more space.

You sure about that? On the Evo forums you make it sound like the 370z is the worst sports car ever made.
