Use CTRL + F and type in STI or EVO X.

For the 370Z

The "slower than" section is a bit off though. The Mini Cooper S was placed in the wrong category. I have no idea how the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is faster than the 370Z, especially on the track (solid rear BLOWS CHUNKS)! Every 2011+ 5.0 in my area knows their place when they see me, eyes forward, both hands on the wheel, and let me pass!

I am not a mustang fan by any means... but I would stay away from those 5.0s..

+1, everyone needs to stay away from the stereotype of solid rear axles... The new'ish 5.0's are no joke. Get a 370z with all the bolt-ons in the world and go up against a new mustang and you will be humbled.

As far as should you buy a modded one, that is a risk you take, any used car is a risk but when it's modded, theres "usually" a little more risk. I would never buy a used EVO or STI but the 370z is a slightly different market.

Buying any car with mods has it's advantages of saving you money on buying those specific parts, but then again, it "could" cost you in the long run depending on how maintained the car was and how it was driven on a daily basis.
