Anyone go from an evo IX to a 370z?

Sorry, I didn't answer your question about steering response. Yes, the Z has an excellent steering response. It's not quite as good as the IX but then, in the IX, you sneezed and switched 2 lanes on the freeway. It was nice but a bit of overkill if you ask me.

The big difference you will notice with the Z is how solid the steering/turning is over that of the Evo. The car feels 10X more solid and frankly because it is (without sacrificing weight). I mean let's face it... An Evo is just a Prancer with a turbo and bigger brakes. And like I said, I loved mine to death but it was time to grow up.

I've come to realize that tape is for sissys.

However, given the amount of crap that happened to the front of my Z, it might just get a little tape next time out.

I took a big step down in speed, but it was completely worth it. I love this car. Welcome aboard!

You won't regret it. Take it from me. And I had one sweet IX!

sorry to hijack this thread...

I am officially a 370z owner as of xmas eve... lol
traded my beloved 06 Evo 9 MR for a Monterrey Blue with Touring/Nav/Sports package 6 speed and couldnt be any happier...

Just my observation... The Evo is faster and handled better, or may be it feels that way. The 370z was a lot quieter and smoother, and very solid! Alot of creature comforts on the Z that wasnt on the evo...

I will make a thread for my pictures soon... anyone who is looking to move to a 370z is going to be happy, unless you just want boost and going fast... you can do that too in the Z.

That's AWESOME man! Please make a thread with new pictures (and old pictures of the EVO MR) . How's the SynchroRev match treating you?

When I did my first downshift with SRM, my face went like this

. Z is just a fun car with cool gadgets, beautiful exterior design and great handling.
