Evo X or 370Z???

6MT · 11-03-2012, 05:00 PM

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.

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.

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

trust me 450-500 whp on the z was close to 18g for turn key GTM Stage 2 TT kit. I called them and got the price. I want a reliable kit and i think gtm for the z is the best IMHO but thats just me. Im not saying that it cant be had for less but not that much less. With 5-6g plus a tune the evo will be fine 350-400 whp and fast enough for me. I honestly want to see what the next z is going to be all about. my current z will def not be my last im willing to see whats next. I just want to own an evo and give it a shot. plus its the last year they are making it b4 they f*** it all up.

boosted performance turn key kit is 7000 and nets you 500whp (it's also pretty safe and easy to install)... Maybe you should have waited a little longer...
