Z versus EVO thread!

Ryan@Forged · 08-12-2009, 03:59 PM

I have plenty of Z's who try to race me all the time. I'm usually just trying to get home from work. Just the same, the Evo guys do it as well. I just don't think it's a fair statement to say Evo drivers behave differently as a whole community. I deal with both communities on a daily basis and find both drivers about the same age range and maturity range.

I totally agree with Ryan's statement.
what he saids is completely true.
no matter what car communities we land on,
there are going to be people who will act like kids "my car is better coz blehblehbleh..." also what i call retards.
but there are normal people too,
like people who doesn't give a fuck if your car is faster and enjoy their cars or what they do to their cars.
there will be ppl in all sort of ages.
some people who thinks GT Wings are hot
some people who thinks GT Wings are rice.

but the point is Who gives a rat's ass?
just enjoy you own cars and have a nice day

Well, I'll throw in my .02 ...

I have owned a an EVO VIII RS that started out stock and ended up with full turboback exhaust, cams, intake alky injection and standalone... enjoyed the car, but it was like a throwback with hand crank windows and no sound deadening....

Next was the EVO IX MR that I swore would stay stock.... so... three weeks later started with an exhaust, then full exhaust, then intake cam.... THEN.... FP Green turbo, injectors, FMIC and so on.... THAT car was a blast!! Then it got to be too much....

Went two years trying to get it all out of my system. Went to a Nissan Xterra and then a Scion xB... Two weeks ago I couldn't take it anymore and got a Brilliant Silver Touring 6MT and got the windows tinted... Just got off the phone with Tony at Fast Intentions to get some info on the CBE that they have... I'm trying really hard to NOT do anything to this car, but I think I'm fighting a losing battle.

I honestly can say that I don't think I'll drive anything as quick as my EVO IX was. The acceleration was brutal, the steering telepathic AND it had a backseat and a trunk....

The 370 is SUCH a good looking car though that it makes up for the performance differences 95% of the time. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the abililty to outperform cars that cost more than double what I had in the Evo... I'm 47 years old and I guess it's time to grow up.... maybe just a little....

They are both great cars with different demographics and application specialties. I say enjoy whichever one you are lucky enough to drive.

Peace,

Tony

Seriously this is what I don't get. Looks. I could build a Hyundia Pony that would eat an EVO for dinner and cost less. For that matter you could put wheels on a rock with an engine and make a faster car for less money but who cares - it still looks like crap!

There is a guy in town who built a 700HP 350Z. He says it was fun to build but it wasn't any fun to drive any more. HP isn't king....

Looks are subjective. I love the way Evos look (especially the IX and VI).

I still love driving my damn near 500awhp pump gas Evo FWIW.

I agree……….and I would give up a few tenths 0 to 60 for a car as beautiful as the 370Z vs. a quicker fugly looking one!

SnakeBitten · 08-12-2009, 04:21 PM

I didnt read anyone saying this but stock to stock the 370 Z outperforms the EVO X in the straights and on track. Now modded thats the EVO's game to win in terms of performance per dollar ratio. Z just cant compete with that until Nissan decides to give it a factory turbo motor.

Also doesnt the Z have the advantage of runing higher hp with pump gas due to bigger displacement? Small advantage I know

I love both these cars so I wont put down either. Looks are subjective but I like the 370z better although I ran a guy with a white X and with his tasteful mods I couldnt keep my eyes off of it. Performance-wise, modded, my wallet would prefer the EVO for ease of modding to exotic beating levels. Z can do just about everything the EVO can do mod for mod but the Z will cost you much more for similar performance.

I just dont see how either side could disrespect the other. Both cars are at the top of the food chain in there class, both stock and modded. Id be happy with either car, though if I did get a X Id suffer from extreme butt envy whenever I saw a 370z from the rear. I love that big, wide buttocks.

dude, do you and your EVO fanboy brethren ever stop getting butt hurt when someone makes a comment about your precious evo? It makes my day to see how bad it ruffles your feathers when somebody says an evo is shyte, I LOVE IT!

STI FTW!
now cry some more.

C'mon man we are not fanboys i love cars in general, I think both cars have their own pros and cons you would never find a thread where any of us evo defenders ever bash the 370z and none of us said that evo is the shiznit and it will pwn anything on it's path. At least not me, i was just surprise to see how many of you guys hate on the evo and what sucks the most is people posting wrong, bias, unproven info.

Butthurt?

You make yourself sound like an *** everytime you post misinformation. You should be glad we're here to help you.

You guys are like a bunch of kids going back and forth on a topic that doesn't matter.

shabarivas · 08-12-2009, 05:47 PM

Seriously ... if you asked me if I would rather have an FQ400 or a GTR... I would rock the GTR all day long... in essence they are the same car from different manufactures...
