Evo Bro
 

My younger bro drives an Evo X GSR. He "claims" the Evo w/ Turbo back exhaust, drop in filter, Access Port Stage 2 Map will smoke my Nismo in the 1/4 mile. I haven't broken it in yet n only have approx. 380 miles on it. We have a date at 1500 miles..haha

Yea he just might LOL! Stock for stock your Nismo is a tad quicker but if your stock and he has those mods plus AWD traction he is probably gonna beat ya sorry. A drop in filter+tune on those Evo's adds like 30whp LOL!


Just ask him how many girls call his car sexy on a daily basis, your gonna win that one.

I made 366awhp at Cobb Plano with those same mods. He probably would beat your car, being it's stock. Evos have a threshold where they make cheap power really easily, but then after that it gets crazy expensive.

Your car is better to look at, though.

Haha...thas what i told him...I got a "real" sports car and not a "family" sedan. (look how he even "parks" his car ahead of mine jus to show me up....haha)

He parks his car ahead of you so kids learning how to ride a bike on the sidewalk don't plow into it ;)

If it's from a dig, you might hang. If it's a roll race, he'll win.

It's a close match, stock for stock. I don't think he'll 'smoke you' with just those mods, but your bro will have the slight advantage.

Either way, I think those cars are the front runners for my "affordable dream garage" right now. Have fun and stay safe when you crack 'em open!

S.

When I had my EVO X with a HKS panel and a tune I made 314whp, when I added a turbo back IC pipes and a front mount I think I made somewhere around 340-350ish whp. They are cheap to mod and definitely not slow, but as everyone mentioned, nowhere near as nice to look at. Granted the Z doesn't have amazing gas mileage I was only getting 12mpg around the city in the EVO - I lived at the pump.

My highway gas mileage has improved post-tune to ~25mpg from ~21 highway. Unfortunately, the tank is tiny & every time I fill, I'm putting around ten gallons so that extra mpg nets me like ten more miles per tank.

From experience,

stock for stock you will win from a dig and easily walk from a roll

with the mods you mentioned and your Z being stock from a dig you will be destroyed and from a roll you will hang with him.

Why?

For the helluv it...haha. Nah its cause he almost convinced me to get an evo but im happy i took the nismo because im more bout the show then the go! Im a full law abiding citizen...:driving:

I think your brother is smart. He learned how to avoid danger better and bought a car that could invite his gf and gf's friends...unless they fat. :bowrofl:

If he's really running Stage 2 w/downpipe he's gonna mop the floor with you, sorry. :(

I've owned both and stock for stock, the Z is better in terms of acceleration and braking. Handling, the Evo is much better as it is easier to deal with and all of the electronic drivetrain gismo's really do a good job.

However, the Evo is much more mod friendly. Drop-in filters and tunes add upwards of 50whp. My car with bolt-ons and a tune made 370whp and 345wtq. N/A Z's can't keep up with those numbers.

At the end of the day, the Nismo is just plain sexy, while the EVO looks like a little toy. I honestly don't care if the EVO beats it or not, Z is just a different class. You can basically cheat HP out those little 4cyl Turbo engines. But slap a Turbo on a Z, we already know what happens then. Next Z will probably have a factory Turbo.

who is the better driver / racer, you or your brother? maybe experience will beat out the potentially faster car?

They are running a 1/4 mile....The EVO is 4WD....and has more power (if it's truely a stage 2 setup)......and weighs less......=......game over unless his brother can't shift gears or point a car in the correct direction.

yea

It will also depend how much your brother hates his clutch during the launch. But I'm thinking he'll still win the ol' 1/4

My base GSR weighed 3525lbs without me in it. It does not weigh less by any means.

Ditto the above post. Evos are heavy cars.

Heres a pic from last year when I had both. 1/4 Mile stock for stock the evo would most likey win but from a roll I think the Z will pull ahead. I like both cars alot but the Turbo Z at 10psi was a took off like a freaking jet in 2-3-4-5 gear. Not much can touch it from a roll.

Rooster likes the pics :tup: the cars look good next to each other all clean.

AWD from a dig he would win. 40 roll is more your race. and why is your younger bro modding before you!!!

Spin the rear wheels? lmao

Exactly what I was thinking lol.. By the time the Z gets traction, the EVO would have already passed the 1/4 mark :stirthepot:



/kidding :happydance:

oops, my bad, looked up the wrong EVO. I had no idea the GRS was that heavy.

My friend had this exact car and I had an 06 Z. Stock for stock I usually pulled ahead a little on a roll and he beat me from a dig. Then he got drop ins and a better clutch flywheel and a little better exhaust while I got motordyne exhaust, art pipes and intake. The same rule applied, except I beat him by much more on a roll.

Me new nismo handles him easily from both. Those mods will definitely make the race really close from a roll. From a dig you'll lose. Maybe you should get intake, exhaust and a tune? Then it'll be different. Little Turbo cars can make a lot more power with the same mods, but the Z was better designed and lighter, from experience driving both a lot.

Just thought I'd chime in on my experience.

spin a rear wheel while the other doesn't. At least for non-sport z's :icon17:
