What kind of discount, are you going to print a 20% off coupon?

The Evo X rides rougher, more aggressive, and stock is slower on the top end. The Z rides smooth, feels like a grand tourer. They are in two different worlds. You have to justify what YOU want out of a car.

Yes, i've owned both and an Evo 8 before.

Motortrend's numbers for the evo X MR and Z have the Z being almost .3s faster in both 0-60 and quarter mile. Maybe the gsr is just that much better or it's a case of YMMV. Modded, the evo will easily outperform the Z at a fraction of the cost.

Evo is a great car, I can't accept the fact it looks like a boy-toy sports car. Practically looks like a Lancer with a huge spoiler, interior is horrendous except the seats. Great performer, just doesn't have that sexiness and is a real deal breaker.

Bought and owned a 2012 z for about 8 months. Did a lot of asthetic mods and all the bolt ons. Just traded it in for a new evo x. I absolutely love it so far. The stock tune on these things is a little crappy out of the factory, but every gear it feels like the car wants to lift off. 370z and evo x are just two different cars. Overall I am very happy with my decision so far :)

My only problem with the Evo is the price. I just don't feel like I'm getting that much "car" for $40K (and that's a base 2012 GSR model!). Yes it has a lot of performance, but there wasn't anything "special" about it to win me over from the Nismo that I eventually bought.

I got my 13 gsr for 35 out the door. Not too bad.

Wow! How did you swing that?! The dealer I went to had a '12 that had been on the lot for over a year, PLUS it had hail damage (!) and they would only go down to $37,500 (before TT&L). MSRP was a bit over $40K.

Thats because you havent actually driven the car. The AWC system in it is amazing on the track and in rough weather conditions (ie Snow). Unlike the STi where it detects a wheel slipping and shifts the power to the front or rear wheels, the Evo can shift the power to side to side as well. If need be it will put all power to just one wheel. Thats why they call the evo's at my local track, a "cheater car". But god damn, this car is amazing in the snow. I got back from Afghanistan on Feb 28th last year and didnt bother putting winter tires on the car (first time it seen a winter). So i had pretty close to bald stock summer performance tires on. Even with a good foot or two of snow and driving on the highway, watching all the other cars go into the ditch. The Evo just smiled and kept going.

That is why its 40k and its well worth it. As well as the Evo holds value, unlike the Z. I lost 20k in value in 8 months on the Z. Assuming my engine wasnt blown with almost a year and half and twice as many km's on it. I would only loose about 5k in value on the car.

All of them say that at the beginning. They act like they wont come down at all on the price. Just gotta know how to negotiate and work em' ;) haha

Who said I never drove the car? I've driven Evo's with 400 WHP. They are stupid fast and they corner very well (my Nismo handles better, though obviously not in bad weather) but the car itself is just too plain.

At the end of the day it's really just a souped up $15K Lancer. Yes, the performance is awesome, but it doesn't "push my buttons" like a true sports coupe does.

If the car were closer to $30K I would be all over it. At $40K+, I looked elsewhere. Just my opinion and personal taste. Not hating on the car.

Not my style. Nissan wanted my business more and they got it.

The way their sales have been Mitsubishi should be treating prospective buyers like manna from heaven, but I guess dealerships will be dealerships.

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get real bro!

Evo's are cool but how'd you lose $20K in 8 months on a Z?

My Z was 8 months old, 16,500km on it. Non - smoker and abit of cosmetic damage (approx $5000 so they said). I pad $43,xxx for my Z (im in canada, we pay more for cars) and they gave me $24,000 trade in.
