I live in high altitude (~4600 ft above sea level) and just that fact gives me around 10% less HP because the Z is N/A (according to some sources, i hope it's not THAT bad...) I mean, i would have to spend quite a bit of cash just to get it to match a stock Z at sea level.

With a turbo though, the atmospheric pressure doesn't affect performance nearly as much. It's also one of the reasons i don't want an FR-S. I'm sure at sea level the car feels "peppy" but up here it would probably feel downright slow. With a turbo on the other hand, i would get the best of both worlds: Top performance regardless the altitude and if i'm not mistaken, since i am at high altitude, less drag at high speeds.


FI is the way to go at altitude.

Hmmm. So you are saying that consulting people that actually OWN the car I am thinking of buying is a bad idea. WOW! You are right! WTF is wrong with me?

one of my buddies got a Evo and his gf Katherine always bothered him that it was ugly so he quickly changed it to a 350z and now hes planning to get a 370z go figure. :bowrofl:

Since you asked on a Z forum I will have to say get the EVO. Why would you ask this on a Z forum? If you ask on an EVO forum you will get a totally diferent answer. Why not drive both, research both in a non-bias manor and make your own decision.

Get a BMW
 
Get a 3 series with AWD. Mitsubishi is leaving the U S. I love my 370 but you need a 2nd vehicle hen you own a Z.

Is the EVO X even considered to be a sports car ? Sure doesn't look like one to me and sure doesn't fit the definition of a 2 seat RWD GT.
Apple and oranges

Evo is awd so the launch is quicker, twin turbo a 370z and you'll see how many cars you destroy...370z all day looks rwd once it's twin turbo it's beast

First of all, you are on a public forum, so who knows WHAT people on here ACTUALLY own. I could say I own a Veyron and who can argue with me?

Second, what someone else likes and what you like might be two very different things. People who bought the car obviously liked it enough to buy it, but you are a prospective buyer and you need to find out if the car fits YOUR needs and likes.

Asking about problem areas and recalls is one thing, but asking how people enjoy their cars is really just pointless. You are the one that has to live with it so only your opinion really matters in this case.

I mean, what if everyone here said the car was awesome and you just end up hating the car? Who was wrong? Nobody.

Just saying, you need to drive the car and see if YOU like it. Everyone else's opinion should mean nothing to you. :tup:

OH, and whatever you buy, make sure you post pics.

If it weren't for the cheap interior and lack of some toys, I'd give the wrx sti serious consideration over the G sedan. Both are at nearly the same price point (new). I think in part, this refinement is what differentiates the comparison. Boils down to what you want to do with the car and what you're looking for.

More refined ----> less refined

G37 --> 370z ---> wrx sti --> evo x IMO.

370Z. You're not in high school anymore. :driving:

If you want Z but want to retain the really racey feel of the EVO X, try looking at a used Nismo. I say used because the new ones are going for 45k :0

I got my '12 for $38,900. You can get a '13 for $40K.

i got my 2011 nismo for 35K OTD

@OP
just the other day i raced a modded evo x in my stock nismo Z and i beat him(not by much but i did beat him)

he had a full exhaust, Cat delete, and running 17psi off the stock turbo
while my car was just a stock nismo(compared to the base Z all thats different is exhaust, tune, and weight) and tbh if a stock nismo Z will be some modded evos, there is alot of potential for a full bolton Z with a tune

i think full bolton Zs make close to 350whp with a tune and you might be able to make more

this was at the track not the street, i dont street race, its illegal and dangerous...

this was at a drag strip as well not a road course, the closest track is willow springs and that like a 8 hour drive and im not willing to make that drive unless its a special occasion
