370z vs Evo X every day driver.

Th3 On3 · 07-31-2012, 12:14 PM

I'm in Texas also it's always dry whether here. I love my car as a DD.

The spouse is the one that hates my car. =\

I don't agree, at least completely, with the idea of the 370Z as a three-season car. I had a car with similar tires, RWD, front air dam, good power-to-weight ratio, summer (Goodyear NCT) tires, and drove it through several bad northern Ohio winters, one with snow over a foot many times. Once drove it home from Georgia to Ohio in the middle of the worst blizzard the mountains had suffered in years. For more than an hour, I was the only person on the road aside from a semi-trailer. The off-ramps were heavily snowed in and the traffic non-existent, so I just stopped and peed in the middle of the highway. Nobody around to see. I suspect the Z would have gotten me home, too. Just as Ayrton Senna drove in the rain, one can drive in the snow, too. You just have to adapt and be very smooth.

Summer tires in snow is a bad idea. Other than that, yeah, I drove on all-season radials in RWD cars through many winters.

So what you end up doing? What you should do is keep your Z and buy a modded Evo 9. Have the best of both worlds

you dont track,you dont mod. Now its up to ur taste. If you like Z style just go for it ,at proper color with 20$ then you can make it look beast, but with X only few people know how it different from Lancer EX. more over Z is girl magnet xD.

"Like i said, my Evo ran 13.5....my 370z ran 13.8. Another 370z member ran 15's with bolt ons."

quote.... yea, I bet that 15 sec ET was NOT driver error /sarcasm

At the end of the day. The 370z is a chick magnet and the evo is a sausage magnet. It don't matter If the evo is faster on the track

you do realise chicks dont care about a car and if you get a car to pick up chicks, then you got issues.

Besides, a Z can only pick up 1 chick. The evo can pick up 4 chicks

Not a huge Evo guy, but their is a evo 10 here on post, maroon, dropped, not sure what exhaust... but that thing sounds/looks mean as hell. Just wish Mitsubishi would not stop making this car, while other manufactures are pushing their sports cars more. Love or hate the evo, it is great for manufacturer competition
