370z || Evo || WRX

JayYoon · 09-19-2010, 04:00 PM

I know that when it comes to potential 370z is not the most bright car when compared to evo x. The thing i wanna know is STOCK. Because ever time this question gets asked it always get side track "i know someone that will own blah blah blah..." So stock. I am assuming Z would do better on straight ways?

What does it matter? I don't know a single person with an Evo X who hasn't had it flash tuned. You're never going to find one like that on the street unless it just came off the lot or some old man is driving it....

But yes, the Z has better straight-line acceleration, but a skilled driver in an Evo X would be neck-and-neck with the Z from a dig. It has a better power band overall and superior launching ability (1.8 sec 60' is entirely possible on the stock clutch and stock tires).

I traded my '08 STi for the Z. The Z feels like a higher quality car...tighter, better interior materials, etc. The Z also feels faster, with better low-end torque. The STi motor in stock form doesn't run too well, it has flat spots and hesitations (a known issue due to emissions requirements), plus it doesn't feel that fast for a turbo car. A tune helps (and gets you more power), but it may not remove the choppy performance altogether.

It's a nice car, just not great. I think it needs direct injection to make good power, meet the current emissions/fuel economy standards and run smoothly. I wouldn't buy another STi unless it gets DI and like 350hp...a dual-clutch trans would be cool, too. DCT's and turbos make a good combination...no boost loss between gears. Then, the STi would be real fun.

Unless you're gonna mod the STi (or you need AWD or the additional passenger/cargo room), I would recommend the Z.

I don't know anybody that has a stock evo, you don't buy a evo and leave it stock. So the chances are you are never gonna run into some evo that's stock.

370z got better track time than evo X by 2 seconds in topgear. But STI has better track time than both cars. In terms of sporty and sexy looking car, I'd say stick with 370z. Come on, do you really wanna pick up your girl in a hatch back?(sti) or do you really wanna pick up your girl in a car that looks like kim jung ill? (evo x)

kenchan · 09-19-2010, 05:36 PM

wat does the Z look like? a catfish?

That's been the only time that the 370Z has ousted the Evo X on a track, stock for stock. Go look at all of the other results.

The STi actually tied the Evo X on their track as well; where do you get your info from?

And nobody gives a damn about quarter mile times unless they have a mullet.

The Z is ugly.... just terrible.....
