GTO vs. 350Z vs. EVO8

[Ssom]

hmmm.....GTO=Monaro=Commodore with the back doors weldedshut=a sloppy piece of work from as far back as 1993.

EVERYBODY has an Evo here- whether it be a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8 they are the last thing in unique and look like crap, while the owners are usually wankers.

So it comes down to the Z in the end One of my all-time dream cars, my dads business partner has a Silver 350Z Track It is one seriously mint-ass car.

I don't think anyone car argue with the notion (or fact ) that Evo8 is the most 'moddable' of the 3. However, I am biased toward the 350Z, being an owner of one, and loving it I am actually planning on making it a pretty extensive project car, so we will see how it goes.

The 350Z is better then the EVO and GTO in almost every respect. I’d take it over the other two any day. Oh yea any one ever herd of Greddy? This car is relatively new to the scene and will gain backing by all major mod. Manufactures so watch out when it get hotter. Of course our buddies over there at trust are already up on the twin turbo, but what fun to squeeze them into that minuscule engine compartment. There’s room for improvement in all three.

don't get me started about the Z's engine bay.. it's .... RIDICULOUS

Nice to see you pop in, Iggy

What are your plans for the Z?

you could get lingenfelter to build the GTO until it's unstoppable.
there's already been a 305z that's hit 215+ in the silver state classic (before it rolled from a blown rod, shredded tire)
the evo can be maxed out just the same, www.norrisdesigns.com has an evo7 demo car with 800BHP. and it hits 212. and it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, 0-100 in 5.9 seconds.
so there's 2 maxed out cars. the GTO has yet to be maxed out here, but there are some hella fast holden's in australia.
it depends on your purpose. for straight line? GTO, b/c it's rwd and has the big v8... you can't really compete with that, no matter what, for a drag car...
handling, the evo is always going to have it...

but it depends on what your focus is.

the norris evo has more potential

i heard that to make the evo 8's pass crash standards in america, the front of the car won't accomodate a bigger intercooler which limits it's modability. if it were an evo 7 i'd take that first, then the Z, then a new c5(or c6) corvette and to hell with the new GTO

[youngvr4]

yeah i agree i'd rather just buy a 97-98 c5 vette than the gto
