It includes oil cooler and transmission cooler, I'm not very strict about the 500whp its just an estimate for both, for the 370z I would take whatever the supercharger would give me which is probably around 420whp im guessing.
Thanks for input chuck repped you, I'm a very cautious driver not a really good one though, I'd consider myself average.

It's no different than any other high power rwd car. You need right foot control. If you floor the throttle at low speed you will have massive wheelspin until you get into 3rd gear. An Evo will just take off. I came from a ~350whp awd car to my Z. You've got to pay attention to what you're doing far more when you can't use awd as a crutch. Rwd is more fun, though. Maybe not faster around a track, but it'll put a bigger smile on your face.

This is getting me even more confused lol. Such a touch decision. But so far I think i'll keep the 370z and sc it. Seems like the evo needs some big money for it to be worthwhile.

thanks everyone!

Not really. An awd car doesn't need as much power because it uses the power it has so much more effectively. You can have a lot of fun with a 350whp awd car. I'm 99% sure a 400whp evo will set dramatically faster laptimes than a 500whp Z in the hands of 99% of drivers.

I know that's no help in terms of ruling one out :rofl2:

You just made my life harder xD Now I'm just back to point A. Guess will have to find a way to make up my mind its been bothering me for a couple days so far.

You know anyone with a Sti? It's a very similar driving dynamic. Neither of those two will have a lot of top end. A boosted Z is all top end. It's a totally different feeling. The Z becomes a bit more of a point-and-shoot car after boost, and the awd cars you can usually just firewall the gas at the apex and fire the car out of the corner.

There's definitely a few around here but non of them let anybody drive their cars which is understandable. I think I'm just gonna go evo and work my way from there, it's got greater potential in the long run. I don't wanna change my car every 2 years.

Just be aware that the Mitsubishi will always be the less reliable car than the Nissan.
