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.

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.

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.

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?
