I'm talking stock for stock the evo can handle the track better. You shouldnt have to buy a $700 oil cooler just to do some weekend track days.

I give you that on the oil cooler. I can't disagree with you more on the track pads/fluid. If you want to go fast, you just can't do it consistently with the stock pads/fluid or even stock tires. Your local track is relatively slow compare to most tracks across North America, you do not want to fly into a corner at 120 and have question about your brakes. I sold my 350Z after I had a scary incident of losing my brakes.
At the end of the day, I have great respect for the EVO. They are much easier to drive fast and they are a toss up in terms of dry performance with the Z. It's all personal choice at the end of the day. I see them dominate tons of amateur track days, but then none of them are close to stock.
