Why are you annoyed. You should be smug like me that you are driving an attractive car instead of an ugly *** EVO or STI, regardless of those car's 1/4 mile times.

How much did you spend getting the Evo to 431 hp? For less than 1,000 bucks, you could have fixed your oil heating and braking issues with the Z.
Also, after reading the car saga, sounds like you don't know what you want in a vehicle. Last edited by shadoquad; 08-17-2012 at 10:37 PM. |

and still run +70s lap times. I was running 67's with bald tires, slipping clutch, stock suspension and learning braking points with the new power. But to answer your question approx $11k.

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 ![]() Last edited by shadoquad; 08-17-2012 at 10:47 PM. |

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?

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?
