I don't agree with your first statement, at least not the parts I highlighted. I went to the track at least 10 times this Summer. There were Evo's there every trip, sometimes a half-dozen or so. The only pass I saw faster than 12.0 was when I saw AMS Evo go 9.5x about 5-6 weeks ago on a cold night at GLD.

Basic bolt-on Evo's don't run 11's no problem.

However, yes it is usually easier (cheaper) to take a factory FI car and make it fast (Evo included).

BTW, I'm glad to see we finally got back to the original statement that kicked this off: namely, that Makim's old Evo would never lose to a TT350Z under any circumstances. I'm glad he finally admitted BriGuy's tt350z would own him in a drag race. That was the only point really.

 

....

 

Agreed. I was just doing a little research on it myself but I remember when I was actually doing research on EVOs the weight distribution was 60/40, not 50/50. They practically weigh the same thing...

04 EVO RS 2218lbs vs 04 350Z Track 2225lbs

Top of the line models for both.

 

Where were you this morning :P

I was going to go off about bolt-on evos getting into the 11s easy...but I didn't want to get flamed more...

 

raced a evo from a 3rd gear roll did not get infront of me a pulled a bumper byt the end of third and we evened back out in fourth 350z is better built car freaken evo runs liek 17lbs stock let me run 17lbs make it look like it standing still lol

 

LEt me have this... Let them have that... Let make it fair... But you know what... Mitsu and Nissan didn't do that! You have what you got. Evo is faster, 350Z is better daily driver (IMO). Thats that.

MOD LOCK THIS PLEASE! Sorry.

 

Makim, you're obnoxious go trade your Z in for another evo, you obviously don't know how to appreciate it.

 

Oh my goodness, shut the fu*k up. Yes, I think it is WELL worth it. Only a fool buys a car ONLY because of how it performs in a straight line. If that`s all you`re interested in, buy an evo and put a 100 shot in there.

This thread and debate is rediculous. The evo guys always think, just like most other car groups, that they have the worlds' best car. I`ve got news for you, the Evo isn`t worth the money, at least not for me. You`re simply paying for performance with a sh!tty exterior and an even sh!ttier interior. If you`re all about performance and could care less that you`re driving something that looks like it could peel potatos with the spoiler, then fine, congrats on your econobox. It`s not all about straight line performance.

Throw a lightly modded evo with my lightly modded M3 into the Nurburgring and let`s let an all around performance track do the talking.

 

You`re a tool. In all honesty, it would be best for you to get rid of the Z and get a newer, faster evo.

Look you idiot, you said it yourself. YOU HAVE WHAT YOU GOT. So stop saying that BriGuyMax`s Z would get smoked by evo`s with 2k in mods. Like you said, YOU HAVE WHAT YOU GOT. His Z vs. your old evo; he would win. Let`s stop making excuses, for his car is superior. And before you make another bs claim about how your best friends' uncles' sisters' cousin knew a guy who was living with another guy who had an evo that ran a 7 second 1/4 mile, remember this: YOU HAVE WHAT YOU GOT.

Your words, not mine.

 

You the prime example of why: all car forums should just merge into one giant orgy of idiots.

 

Is that right? Well, with your incredible intellect why don`t you come up with a rebuttal to my post rather than simply continuing to contribute to your already massive reputation here as a tool? I don`t know how you ricers do it over in Lancersville, but over here we don`t just randomly make claims without having anything to back them up. But i`ll give you a free pass on that one, considering I know you were way too busy peeling potatos with the wing on your evo to go to school.

Learn to spell and use grammar, then come back and talk to me. Dumbass.

 

Maybe you need to read my orginal post. I was infavor of the Z and stated that I only missed the turbo power. Also you are taking this too seriously and the pointless e-thuging & name calling just goes to show that you are a complete moron.

 

Also I never intended for a little comparo to get so out of control. I think ppl need to read what I said in the camparo again.

 

Easy there hot shot, i`m the furthest thing from an e-thug. If using correct grammar and knowing how to spell simple words makes me an e-thug, then maybe I am. But if that`s the case, I`ll take it as a compliment.

The fact of the matter is, you ignore the main points of everyone who disagrees with you. You just randomly come up with something you see as an "insult" like when you said that I`m an example of why all car forums should merge into an orgy of idiot. Where did that come from? If anything, you`re the idiot telling people that "no tt Z will ever be faster than a modded evo." And then when we show you an example of a Z that is faster than your evo was, you continue to make excuses. Mind you, this was all on a forum for 350z owners/enthusiasts. [Furthermore making you even more of an idiot.]

You were wrong. Count your losses and move on with your life.

 

Hey champ, you keep quoting the wrong guy. Re-read this thread.

 

what round is it?

 

 

Is this thread still alive? By the way I raced a buddy the other night who has an Evo. His is stock and my Z is slightly modded (intake, plenum spacer, test pipes, exhaust). It was pouring down rain, which sucked for me, but I have ****ty all seasons on instead of my potenzas so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was still spinning like crazy and probably lost each pull from a dig to about 120 by about 4 or 5 lengths (He was jumping me off the line and then I was sticking about 3.5-4 car lengths behind him). Everytime that turbo spools you can feel the NA power petering out right before shifting, . I still think that in the dry with decent tires and good launches we would be really close, but I also think that on a track that AWD is not really gonna be an advantage. He'll be understeering like crazy and that extra weight isn't good either. Just my 2 cents, now that I've experienced the power of the Evo!!

 

Drag racing in the rain......

 

As far as braking goes...It's not that the Evo has better brembos, it is the Awd.
Since all the wheels are tied together, the rear brakes actually help the fronts to stop by sharing the load.
