It seems to me a Mitsubishi Lancer is a much different type of car compared to a Nissan 370z . . . not cross-shopped often (?)

One car screams "boy Racer"
One car screams "douche"
And I guess the nismo screams both.

Both good cars FWIW, personally I've had bad experiences with mitsubishi products in the past so I'd go Nissan/Subaru. Just me though. Obviously I got a Z.

I currently own an Evo X and am in the market for a Nismo 370. This is my second Evo, but I must admit I'm over the cheap interior and feeling like I'm driving a car I'm too old for. I know many can argue all day about this, but in the end, it solely comes down to what you prefer.

Wait, wait, wait...

Am I understanding this correctly? Are you saying the engine was blown on your 370z?

What kind of bad experience(s) ? I've actually had better experience owning a Subaru vs. Nissan (last car) . . .

Just a question... (Without reading all the pages). Has the op gone to the Evo forums with the same question of which to buy? And if so, what was the consensus there?



Me thinks it was backwards to what it is here.:twocents:

I was saying Subaru and Nissan over Mitsubishi in terms of build quality and reliability. I've never known anyone to have problems with scoobies.

Mitsubishis on the other hand...

yes he posted on one of the evo forums and everyone was saying go with a evo. Even previous 350z and 370z owners said the same thing.

I love subbies too, my roommate has a wrx. But where are you getting your info from? Subbies have their share of problems as well. Ringland failures and trannies blowing up in the older wrx. Get your info straight.

Yes I did post on both forums as I own my Z still. I just wanted to hear honest opinions about the cars and if others did the same or vice versa. To me I really miss boost and I cant seem to get around it. I will admit I dont like the interior of the base EVO X's but with the sunroof and leather package it really cleans up very nice...esp with the nav. But anyways I wanted to keep the z but I realized that i dont want to spend 18g+ on just the motor for boost just to gain the performance that can be had on an evo x for way less. I love both cars and to each get there own respect. To me they have different appeals but are both relatively same price range with similar stock performance. I got a lot of good knowledge from my friend and member to the forum Birdman. My X shall be here in Jan ill post pics of both cars and keep you updated. Thanks for all of your help.

That's a bit of an overestimate. Not sure how much power your trying to make but, 500whp and 10psi is pretty normal without building the motor. The price jump to get to 600whp and not break anything is considerable though. $6000 for 400+whp and $7k+ for 500whp. and double that to reach 600whp... not including labor
