Just sayin', you complained about those problems as though they were dealbreakers. You didn't want to spend 1k to fix it. Anyone who tracks their Z pays that piper up front. The biggest unresolved issue is the fuel starve, and they've developed a solution to it, they just haven't brought it to market yet.

To each their own, and Evos are great vehicles, but it's an odd criticism in my mind.

"My stock 370z wasn't as good as my highly modified Evo". Apples to apples :ugh2:

The way they felt with the Z in stock form, feels the same way my brakes do now with ~431hp. I'm pushing the brakes on the Evo alot harder with that power and after a few laps they feel the same way the Z did. But with stock power, i could push them all day and not have that issue.

Good, except I want to disagree with what you pointed out and I have had plenty of cars myself too. I just happen to have logs to prove my points.

i never said my modded evo was better then my 370z. Stock for stock the evo wins in my eyes. But im just going to leave it at that and not get into a pissing match, good night all

Well, that's your opinion, and that's fine. I was just responding to the points you presented.

It's my opinion that the Z was a better car for me, because it was rwd, much better looking, and a lot less cheap inside. Plus I could get in one for 4-5k less than an Evo. Never looked back. But I realize that other people have different needs from a vehicle.

A buddy of mine just got a 2011 sti, overall nice car except the check engine light came on 4 times in the same week he bought it. Each time involving a trip back to subaru for them to not be able to resolve the issue

Many 04/05/06 Z cars had oil consumption problems

Many 370z have over heating problems

WRX and EVOs have replace engine problems

I'm not hating it just seems you beat on these 4door cars and they can hang for long? May it be the boost? I rather the Z over being a boost fanboy awd fanatic....you blame the tuner but I've seen this story locally!

The few problems you have with a Z aren't going to empty your wallet?

I agree with you on this, one of my friend's has a 2011 EVO and he loves it. swears up and down by this feel this turbo this handling. and dont get me wrong its a nice vehicle on the inside. the take off is better, but what AWD isn't? so whenever I go over his house we have an argument about which car is faster, then his friends chime in with them having a charger, a challenger, and a mustang. So to shut up the men ego I crunched some numbers along with the weight and handling and of course the Z came out on top with efficiency and friction loss. So yes it is up to your feel of the car and I am not criticizing the EVO but it all depends on the driver, in any one of those cars one could win, just depends on who is driving and how well. glad you are happy now :)

yep depends on the driver of the car, if you have no clue on how to drive the car, then the car your in (no matter how fancy or expensive it is) will be average at best lol (in matter of speaking)

and even then, you can adjust it to your liking. like I have an issue with my clutch, I will fix that issue because I am not liking the response time. there are little tweaking factors one can do along with suspension mods, weight increase if you cannot handle the RWD, because in my opinion you must have loved that car to begin with, why let something or someone change your mind?

4 doors. based on an entry level econo-box. you can add all the wings, ground effects, and turbos you want; it will still never be as good as a scratch built sports car like the Z. even if the numbers are better, it still wont be as good from the driver's point of view. i have owned a wrx with big turbo (400+hp) and all supporting mods. Z is better.

nismochiq 08-18-2012 10:04 AM

The horsepower on certain vehicles might look better but my question is so does a v8 horsepower on a truck. They need that horsepower for the weight and torque. They only glorify it to sell it. I do not know how many truck guys came up to me with their speech, "I get this much hp and torque," it's because you actually need it to match economic cars.

FR-S owners annoy me more. They actually compare their cars to a 370z LOL
