According to the fact that a 370z cant even be run on the track and get decent times without going into limp mode and having brakes fade away. I just dont know how Nissan claims the the Z is a track ready sports car and the damn thing over heats like a mofo. The only track it can handle without over heating is the 1/4 mile. And still it cant beat the Evo.

Yea sure if you want a nice sporty looking car to get you out of the "teenage bias group" then sure go with the 370z. Although i dont know many teens that own a EvoX unless mommy and daddy paid for it. And if you want something with better interior and sound proofing...go with the 370z. Me personally those are all optional bonuses. Like you i look for power:weight ratio, how the car reacts to mods, how the car performs on the track and how the car holds its value. Like i said, im not hear to bash the Z. I owned one, liked it at first but just not what i needed at the time and if a car cant even handle a short race at the track without going into limp mode...then screw it. Not to mention my Z was a damn hit and run magnet.
