I would be happy to provide further information if you would like. The 370z is a fantastic and very capable car, but there are plenty of reasons why the Evo is also a wonderful performance buy. It really shines once you start modding and does not require much to be extremely competitive. If anyone is ever curious, take a look at the many great forum resources and see for yourself.
Oh, alright, yeah. I was under the impression you were strictly speaking at the wheels.

My bad then.
