Evo Bro

LakeShow · 05-22-2012, 04:20 PM

At the end of the day, the Nismo is just plain sexy, while the EVO looks like a little toy. I honestly don't care if the EVO beats it or not, Z is just a different class. You can basically cheat HP out those little 4cyl Turbo engines. But slap a Turbo on a Z, we already know what happens then. Next Z will probably have a factory Turbo.

who is the better driver / racer, you or your brother? maybe experience will beat out the potentially faster car?

They are running a 1/4 mile....The EVO is 4WD....and has more power (if it's truely a stage 2 setup)......and weighs less......=......game over unless his brother can't shift gears or point a car in the correct direction.

yea

It will also depend how much your brother hates his clutch during the launch. But I'm thinking he'll still win the ol' 1/4

My base GSR weighed 3525lbs without me in it. It does not weigh less by any means.

Ditto the above post. Evos are heavy cars.

Heres a pic from last year when I had both. 1/4 Mile stock for stock the evo would most likey win but from a roll I think the Z will pull ahead. I like both cars alot but the Turbo Z at 10psi was a took off like a freaking jet in 2-3-4-5 gear. Not much can touch it from a roll.

Rooster89 · 06-05-2012, 08:51 PM

Rooster likes the pics

the cars look good next to each other all clean.

ZKraken22 · 06-05-2012, 09:15 PM

AWD from a dig he would win. 40 roll is more your race. and why is your younger bro modding before you!!!

Exactly what I was thinking lol.. By the time the Z gets traction, the EVO would have already passed the 1/4 mark

oops, my bad, looked up the wrong EVO. I had no idea the GRS was that heavy.

IsaacSG31 · 06-11-2012, 09:19 AM

My friend had this exact car and I had an 06 Z. Stock for stock I usually pulled ahead a little on a roll and he beat me from a dig. Then he got drop ins and a better clutch flywheel and a little better exhaust while I got motordyne exhaust, art pipes and intake. The same rule applied, except I beat him by much more on a roll.

Me new nismo handles him easily from both. Those mods will definitely make the race really close from a roll. From a dig you'll lose. Maybe you should get intake, exhaust and a tune? Then it'll be different. Little Turbo cars can make a lot more power with the same mods, but the Z was better designed and lighter, from experience driving both a lot.

Just thought I'd chime in on my experience.
