That's obviously preference. I know A LOT of people who hate the 350z styling...

And i'm sure a Yellow car doesn't get any attention...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I thought you lose money on after market parts. Do what you want, but IMO there's nothing better in it's class than a Z.

I couldn't give a shyt who I can beat on the street or vice versa with my Z.

It's just NOT that serious to me, because I have nothing to prove.

IMHO..Respect what you have in the Z and don't give into the childish ricers who have to show off on the streets.

Those are the one's who'll end up in the obituaries column of your local newspaper anyway b/c they drive too recklessly.

What are you going to get after a POS Honda with a built motor costing 15k for the engine alone beats you in your EVO?

Have a look at the '06 Corvette before you sell your Z for a Evo.

As stated above, their’s always someone faster!

Eventually want to go TT but like you the money isn't there right now. My plans are to wait until I have it paid off and am out of warranty and then just build the engine from the inside out.

You were saying the Evolution gets attention from ricers and cops...and I was saying in return, a bright yellow car gets a lot of attention too. Any bright colored cars get attentions from cops, especially yellow. A general yellow car gets attention from anyone including "ricers."

SMH @ you not being able to understand that...

I personally would never get an EVO because the interior is just way too plain for me.
It can be lighting fast, but at the end it's still a lancer.
Just like the SRT-4, sure it has potential and fast, but it's still a freakin' neon.

I have an S2000 and there was a discussion about this over there too and the bottom line was if you want a fast grocery car then the Evo is the way to go but for everything else it's the 2 seater.
