370Z vs EvoX

Zsteve · 02-01-2010, 04:11 PM

Some people treat their Z like an exotic and thats fine especially if its their first upgraded car. I know when I got my Audi I babyed her but she was still my daily driver I just kept her clean and took care of her. Im a little less anal with the Z right now as I feel its my nice quick daily driver and since I cant afford to have two cars for myself it gets driven alot. Trust me when I was starting out and had to buy cheap civics (20 yrs ago), if I could have afforded a car like the Z I would have been very anal about it.

And yes I go grocery shopping in mine. I just get alot of looks for using the Z.

Do you wanna get an Evo X and still look like you're driving a Lancer?

Agreed, its just an everyday car IMO. Hell just about any car I get will be unless its some special classic car!

I'm with this guy. Cars are meant to be driven.

I'd love to daily-drive just about any car.

i currently own an evo x and want to trade for a 370 z. if you want all out performance get the evo x. if anything else matters to you, get the 370. the nissans quality is way above the evo, but you CANNOT beat the performance of the evo x in this price range.

yah that would suck. i'd probably do a rental.

I treat most of my new cars as exotic, so my 370Z is no different and is not my first "upgraded car". I'm very anal with my cars so I always have a "hupty" as a DD.

Id like to have a used car as an alternate but Im pay ins and payments on my dau and sons (not ins for him) car. Once dau is out of college and son is more set with current job.............Im in the money! LOL but I will probably trade in for another European car and buy the wife a new car too and keep her current car (Jeep liberty) as a hupty.

I daily drive mine, why waste a perfectly good car by letting it sit in the garage all year long? Because of the weather? change your tires, this car is meant to be driven, period.

I was in the same boat as you about 4 months ago, i couldn't make up my mind wether i wanted a 370z or a evox. To make a long story short I eventually got a evo x, because me and the wifey is planning on having a baby so that pretty much crosses the 370z out.

If you want to have a sexy car nice interior and alot of looks and want a chick magnet get the 370z and won't mind the two seats. Not to mention the rev match feature of the 370z is nice. Overall if you want a badass sexy car out of the box get the 370z

If you want a to haul more people, like modding and make your car faster, then get the evox. A stock tune alone give the evox 30-40awhp and with just exhaust and drop in filter you can break 300 awhp. A couple of evox out there are running almost 600awhp on stock block. The thing that i hate about evo x is the interior, notchy trasmission, and the clutch. I have a GSR and it's only a 5 speed and the car is kinda loud on the freeway. Oh yeah idk if this matters but it seems like with the evo every camaro, mustangs, civics and integras want to race me.

This is the way i look at it, 370z is like kobe bryant smooth and it's like watching art in motion and beautiful to look at. The evo x is like Lebron James rugged, power over finesse and potential. At the end both are excellent cars.
