Just sayin', you complained about those problems as though they were dealbreakers. You didn't want to spend 1k to fix it. Anyone who tracks their Z pays that piper up front. The biggest unresolved issue is the fuel starve, and they've developed a solution to it, they just haven't brought it to market yet.

To each their own, and Evos are great vehicles, but it's an odd criticism in my mind.

"My stock 370z wasn't as good as my highly modified Evo". Apples to apples

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.
Good, except I want to disagree with what you pointed out and I have had plenty of cars myself too. I just happen to have logs to prove my points.

i never said my modded evo was better then my 370z. Stock for stock the evo wins in my eyes. But im just going to leave it at that and not get into a pissing match, good night all

Well, that's your opinion, and that's fine. I was just responding to the points you presented.

It's my opinion that the Z was a better car for me, because it was rwd, much better looking, and a lot less cheap inside. Plus I could get in one for 4-5k less than an Evo. Never looked back. But I realize that other people have different needs from a vehicle.
