350z or evo ix...?

I will be in the market for a new car early next year... I will like to purchase either a evp ix or a 2005 above 350Z track. I have test driven a 350z and also a evo vii as a comparison although they were short drives i got the feeling that the 350z had more character/charisma in terms of sound and the feeling it gives you. The evo vii was fast but i thought it evoked less 'emotion' if you know what i mean. But i thought an evo ix with the right mods could maybe as much character/emotion as the 350z..?

I would like to know what your opinions on the following questions.

-What is the purer drive? I mean i know the diffs and electronics in the evo work well but does it take away from the essence of the driving experience?
-What car would have a better ride comfort for everyday driving?
-What is faster around a track? stock ix or stock 350z?

Thanks for your help guys..

here's an idea. how about you do your own research, go test drive both cars, and make up your own mind on what to buy since that is what you are going to do in the end anyway. better yet, go ask this question on an evo board and see what answers you will get there.

yes i did, and your questions can only be answered by personal experience. you say you have driven both yet you ask which one is faster or the purer drive. yeah right. if that is true and you are still asking those questions there is no help for you.

better yet, go get the evo. that seems more the car for you

Welcome. The subject is well discussed. Your concerns are subjective. Despite the fact that this is a 350Z forum, we recognise that the Evolution has many admirable characteristics.

Get what sparks your fancy. Enjoy the ride.
