I dont give a ish what anyone has to say when comparing the mustang and the evo to the Z. The Z is the most exotic looking IMHO ad many others according the countless compliments I recieve, and it gets the job done for the price.

Whats the point in owning a sports car that doesnt look like a sports car? Mustangs are all over, and the evo looks just like any other GG I see everyday. The first thing that attracts me to a woman are her looks. That goes double for my cars.

"If its brake feel, response, and reliability were similar to the Miata’s or Evo’s, the 370Z would be on the podium."

So there you go.

How come they never compare it with the Nismo? Just say'n. I can't think of any comparison that uses Nismo instead of the Touring w/SP.

Nismo is much more expensive, and how about lightning lap?

We won't know unless they actually do it. They margins of performace between most of these cars are thin as it is. Why not use the one that has slightly more power and marketed for semi-track use.

It's about a $2,200 difference over a touring/sport, hardly "much more expensive/"

You mean where the "stick axle" V6 Mustang beat the EVO X MR by nearly a second?

VIR is made for mustangs. V6 would have smoked the nismo if not for speed limit.

woowww....You really got me good, but I wasn't refering to this test specifically. I said "I can't think of any comparison that uses the Nismo." Read again.

...and since they raised the price of the 2013 Z, I guess the touring/sport isn't allowed either.

Seriously, why are you even here? Just to incite an argument? You've been negative at every single post.
