And still it cant beat the Evo.

I don't disagree with you on that. I am not happy about the oil cooler purchase ($700). At the same time, I highly doubt you will hit limp mode on one single hot lap. As far as brakes, really? Who in their right mind would want to track their car on the stock pads and fluid, it's an accident waiting to happen. BTW, I am not a pro, but I would love to get a pro's input on how fast can his lap be on a stock car on extremely heated tires and brakes. I doubt it will be fast. 2-3 straight hotlaps in most cars will effectively kill any chance of it being fast without a cool down period. The engine gets too hot/tires get too hot and brakes get too hot. These are mass production vehicle, it's not going to do the 24 hours of Leman without any work.
I am not a Nissan fanboy. I bought the Z because I couldn't stand the look of the EVO and can't afford a TTS (see my complaints about how much I hate Nissan's lack of customer service or their service department).
Once again, it's all personal preference. Do you prefer Kim K or Jen A? B
