Of course I love my Z, and of course I recognize there can be and ARE superior cars, and also recognize that this comparison is regarding "handling" which is subjective to some degree. Certainly if we are to include high-tech stuff like the Evo's AWD system then it certainly has some advantages in terms of handling, and it absolutely should, given the level of technology. But, then there are the actual performance numbers involved in the test which this guy can't seem to get his head around, and he comes back with this "If I got $800 to spend on mods of my choice..." crap that sounds like it belongs on a Honda forum... "$20K in mods and my Civic can hang with a Vette on any race track." |

You guys are the ones throwing in mods. In stock form, the Evo will decimate the 370z around a race track, after the 370z goes into limp mode. I find it funny that the only people with track experience (me and grant) can have a reasonable discussion, while the people getting worked up are Sunday drivers. It's hard to estimate how a car handles when you don't know it's limits. |

We were talking about who would be fastest in the hands of unskilled driver. I point out Evo. I'm told to stop talking about "grocery getters" You can read it here New Car and Driver review of the 370z... oil temp fail! |

Wow, a real autox course? Grant and I actually compete. He knows what it's like on a national level, perhaps you could learn a bi from him, even if you're too proud to learn from me. |
