good last 2 posts from the Z guys. I own a evo and will agree the 350z is better looking... by alot
But I didnt buy the Z cause I wanted performance more than looks.
Still have to appreciate that nice exhaust note though.

The Evo is also great, but in my mind, I just thought hmm...well this car is NA, and the Evo is already turbocharged, and is making about the same horsepower. But I couldn't get the fact that the 350z was still an NA car and was making a lot of horsepower. =D If I find the perfect turbocharger for my 350z then its getting a stronger lungs and everything. The four wheel drive just isn't for me, and besides I'm currently a kinda still a beginner drifter. been practicing for about 2 years now =) RWD is the one that I feel most comfortable with. and besides I know how to work on RWDs, I kinda afraid to touch AWD cars since its something that im not comfortable with =D

Im not saying Evo doesn't kick butt in road tracks, but most of the tests for the Evos were done on dirt roads. I read this while Mitsu was in development of the Evo. that More testing was done on dirt roads than on tracks. Evo is more of a rally cars, hence the four wheel drive and the potato turbo. Its rival Subaru WRX also kick ass for rallys. The 350z on the other hand is more like a track car then a rally course car. In my thoughts, there are different cars for different kinds of racing. for example, I believe that a honda civic hatchback can be turned into a killer drag car, also with the supra twin turbo. For rally cars I believe that the Subaru WRX and Mitsu EVO is the best choice. I really don't know why a tiburon is running in a rally but o well at least its not doing too bad. and finally for a road track course, I believe cars like Rx-7, Miata, 350z, and NSX is the best choice.

Before I bought my 350z, I test drove the Evo, and it really didn't suit me. How it looked, for one thing and I really didn't feel the turbo kick in. I also test drove the WRX and it also didn't have the rush that I was looking for. I mean, I drove turbo cars before and I loved to see that boost gauge go up and when I release the gas peddal to shift I hear the blow off valve. but the two cars were lacking something. When I test drove the 350z, I felt something different. When I first put it in gear and started moving, really fast, I felt this rush of excitment that I havn't felt in a long time. It was seriously awsome. That any many other reasons made me take the 350z over the five cars that I test drove. All I can say is, if you guys never drove the car that your talking about before, you really can't say you know much about the car -.-

Just my thoughts

Amen to that. there is no such thing as a perfect Car. Every car has a down side to it. You just have to find what suits you the best.
