My friends have MODed evo 10's I have driven my friends new 2012 multiple time and honestly I expected so much more...I felt like I was sitting in a KIA, the gearbox isnt solid, the clutch is too soft...The end of the the day, if your looking for flat out performance and a track toy the get the X. If your all about numbers and you are going to blow lots of dough on performance mods the X is for you...

The Z is much more fun in the canyons even if your taking it easy...and comon we all know it just so much sexier than all these other sports cars we see on the street.
i agree and disagree on some points.

1. Evo is faster, hands down. Whether its drag, road or any other type of racing. Maybe if you are doing gay *** races from a roll that proves nothing...maybe the Z is faster. I raced my Z on both time attack and drag strip, same with my X and i got alot better times with the X. Even the specs of each car, the X comes out on top. Z is quoted what 13.8-13.6 on the 1/4 mile? Best i got with Stillen CAI was 13.8. The X is quoted at 13.5 and thats what i fit the day i bought the car, bone stock with 300kms on the odo.

2. The gearbox (GSR) personally i think its a POS. I hate the notch feeling, especially shifting to 3rd. My base, shifter cable and underhood bushings, along with my TWM shifter cage and MT-85 fluid made it abit better. But to make that feeling go away, i gotta send my transmission in to get rebuilt by a company (still depending if i want to since im already sending my tcase down to get rebuilt)

3. The clutch is really hit or miss, i like the feel alot more then the Z. The Z had alot of chatter and felt really loose. However, its also hit or miss how long the clutch lasts in the X. Mine lasted 14,000km before it started slipping. My buddies lasted 7,000km (both of us race). Others that dont beat on their cars lasted 60,000+km. Basically if you beat on the car at all, the clutch is gone, as where i found the Z's clutch was abit more forgiving.
