350z vs. EVO vs. STI
 

So I took the test drive of the 350z today, it was pretty nice. But my buddy called me up tonight from texas and mentioned he just bought a new EVO this week and told me it was flat out the best value.

Any opinions of this? 4 door too would be useful...

whats the evo?

Mitsubishi Lancer EVOlution.....

VIII or VII ?

That EVO car looks fucking GAY haha, get the 350Z more power anyways.

you don't know what are you talking about ... 350Z is a pussy car compared to EVO (whatever series)

THe brand new line of EVOs available for public purchase in the USA....

VIII :)

you cant beat the all wheel drive.

i hear the STI has more nugget than the EVO
but that the EVO got a better review than the STI

the 350z is only 2 whl drive so dont bother. u cant hook as well as the AWD

pics please, too lazy to research! :1orglaugh

your right, i dont much about jap crap. just going by looks and the 350z looks good.. but what do i know about those cars, i drive a 02 corvette that puts 548hp/633tq to the ground. i like speed and performance, not driving a shoe box around in the dirt.

hey what about those mazda rx8s that one in xmen look pretty good.. arent those coming out this summer?

You are so full of shit. Any corvet owner would know about the EVO, its a 5s 0-60 car. STOCK.

no offence to you bro, but 5s is weak as hell.

and heres my car

ls1 w/vararam intake system, head, cam, and complete B&B exaust, last dyno after tuneing when i took of the cats was what i posted above.

Its like i said man, different game.. your 0-60 is 5 sec. mine is in the low 3s stock corvette is 3.8 and top speed is near 200MPH

Plus, unlike the Vette, it handles well :winkwink:

vettes are pussy cars ...



Hi Brian! :winkwink:

yeah man, evo are what its all about

looks like every other rice rocket i see on the street with a giant shit cannon sticking out the back of it..

like i said before, gay.

:321GFY

but buy what you want man, i would get a mazda RX8 or 350Z if i was shopping in that market.

LOL. IF I wanted to drop $80G on a car, Id go your route too. Hmm, but I wanna spend $30G.

Yes, it is a different "game". Thus the title of this thread was not "Corvette versus EVO"

:thumbsup

$80k? for vette??? LOL


... anyway, get the EVO ...

Nissan has only two seats, it isn't 4x4 and it's slow
STi is fucking good, but still not as good as EVO
EVO is king of 4x4 street cars :thumbsup

Road & Track did a test to find the best handling car for road and track:

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....age_numbe r=1

1. Ferrari 360 Modena
2. Lotus Elise
3. Porsche 911 Turbo
4. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII
5. Chevrolet Corvette Z06
6. Porsche Boxster S
7. BMW M3 coupe
8. Mazda MP3

No 350z or WRX, but the WRX is very similar to the Evo, and the 350z would have placed behind the M3 in my opinion.

Test drive the Evo and WRX first before deciding - the ride in the Evo is a lot harsher than the WRX...

Vettes are 50k+ stock. With his mods plus taxes, etc etc we're lookin close to 80k. Ok, maybe 70k. But no where near 30k.

I'll definitely have to have a look at the EVO :) HOpefully I can find one out here.

I still want one of these:

Only another 10 months to go before they're released in the US...

Extermely biased opinion:
Best car in the worl. Spectra blue mica Lexus GS400 with roll cage 1000 horsepower V& single turbo and nitrous.

http://www.advancedcooling.com/ for brakes, the ones right of the corvette GT race cars.

5 point harnesses, leather, navigaion, 20" lowenhart LD1's....Truly amazing. Should be the fastest sedan in the US unless I missed someone.

Here's my questions HQ, would you rather turn on young racer dudes or hot women - AND - are you gonna be driving 120mph every day? When you answer that I'm sure you will have made the right decision about which car to buy.

"Sporting a modest 122 bhp and 124 lb.-ft. of torque"

is that the same one they tested on that article? my jet skis have more power than that thing. :1orglaugh

I probably weighs about the same as your jetski as well, which is why it was faster than the Ferrari 360, Porsche 911 Turbo and the Z06 Vette through the corners.

When they finally release it in the US, it should have about 190hp.

Or if you're feeling adventurous, a German tuning company will sell you one with a 420hp twin turbo V6...

you're right it get's me a lot of pussy LOL !!!

EVO is a real good car

I have an 03 MazdaSpeed Turbo with 390 miles on it if anyone wants if for $18k

STI...

I own a wrx, and if the sti is as much of an improvement over the wrx as I've heard it is...you'll be amazed...I heard the sti boasts a 300+ hp, forced turbo, 6cyl...? Plus innovative handling...that's a beast right there...judging from my limited experience with my wrx...

See number 8?

I have the new turbo version

Identical to this one
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....age_numbe r=1

390 miles on it
Someone buy it for $18k so i dont have to put it on ebay

its still the boxter 4 cylinder but now its a 2.5 liter and I hear its running 30 pounds of boost

The only thing missing in this thread is more pics :thumbsup

Hmmm...thought I heard that they released a 6cyl. Regardless...I masturbate in my wrx going 90 through the curves of highway 50...its really a dream..

The best ass you'll ever see:

Okay, so it's a TVR T350C which has nothing to do with the rest of the cars in this thread, but it's a nice picture :winkwink:

TVR's rock...ingenuity at its finest...

Both EVO and STI have the riced-out grocery-getter look to them. If that's what you want, then buy the car.

350z is a lot better looking and has characteristics of a sports car (2 DOORS).

rear wheel drive too

If you're more interested in image and posing, get the 350z. If you're more interested in driving, don't. :Graucho

So whats the average price for a new Evo, an 350Z and the STI in the States???

Evo starts at $29500, 350Z at $27000, STi at $30000.

evo looks like a 8k civic with 2k in body kits


or a galant with body kits

Check out this car.

http://www.lingenfelter.com/Lingenfe...ges/8488wb.jpg

http://www.lingenfelter.com/Lingenfe...ges/8490wb.jpg

Lingenfelter 725hp Twin Turbo 427 7.0L, 0-60 in 2.8s 9 second 1/4 mile and top speed of 255mph. Carbon fiber and kevlar body, 19x13 rear 18x9.5 front

Damn, here an EVO start at like 45.000 euro if I am right, same for the STI and don't know for the 350Z. Gotta move myself to the states one time I guess :winkwink:

:throwup looks horrible. Performance looks very nice though.

FUCK, the Nissan 350Z is here 49.000 EURO, which is about 56.000 US dollar

Andre

Be nice to see it up against this:

http://www.koenigsegg.com/media/34_640.jpg

Koenigsegg CC (took 3 attempts to find this 'cos I couldn't spell "Koenigsegg")
655hp supercharged V8, 0-60 in 3.4ish, 240mph top speed

now, that's the true dream car :thumbsup

And the completely and utterly over the top Bugatti Veyron:

http://www.vwvortex.com/news/09_01/bugatti/01_lrg.jpg

1001hp, W16 engine with FOUR turbochargers! 4 wheel drive, max speed estimated to be in excess of 250mph.

More details here....

the cars webpage says 0-100 in 3.2, 3.4 0-60 would be for around 500hp
