People with sti annoy me?!!!

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.

Unless the EVO X is a world better than a the EVO IX, I am not sure if my datalogger agrees with you.



Red = EVO IV stock with Ferrodo pads & OE tires; Blue = 370z stock with pads & RE11.

You are right I need an oil cooler to do track days, but my car is still cheaper than the EVO new vs new with the oil cooler.

The Z's brakes are bigger than the EVO and it is lighter, how can an EVO stop better? I understand if you had the OEM tires since they are worse than the EVO stock.

Your car doesn't handle better than a Viper (well assuming it has decent tires). The other driver was simply driving too slow. You really should be proud of yourself, not the car. The last GT-R i saw at the track only ran 1.5 sec slower than me, I know full well it wasn't the car. Have realistic expectations.

to me, it was, hence why i got rid of it in 8 months.

yes i did, the truck was costing me $150 every 3 days in gas and they wouldnt let me on the track with it. I wanted something better on gas and something i could track.

Personally i dont care what results are posted by articals on the net. All i care about is what i feel in the car. The brakes in the Z heated up to fast and felt like a sponge. The way they felt with the Z in stock form, feels the same way my brakes do now with ~431hp. I'm pushing the brakes on the Evo alot harder with that power and after a few laps they feel the same way the Z did. But with stock power, i could push them all day and not have that issue.
