Default Opinions needed

Whatsup,
i was planning on buying the 08 350z in a month or so and then i came across the evo 9 and i was amazed on what it was capable of.
now i drove the 03 z befor in a testdrive and the 2 could not compare
but i no that the 07 08s have the new engine and can produce much more power and fun..
in your opinions
can the 07/08 350z take the evos and the stis? in races
im a fairly good driver so im just talkin about can the car keep up wit hthese and to those who own the 350z is it a fun car for daily driven?
thanx you

I think the 07-08 350z is going to be more reliable than an evo. However you can probably get an Evo much cheaper.

Also you are comparing AWD to RWD

I was in the same situation as you about a year ago, and picked the 350z because I thought it was a superior product.

However I have driven the Evo X MR and I loved it. However I feel it was a little underpowered and wish it came with a 6 speed manual transmission.

Just drive both cars, whatever you like is the one you should get. Simple as that.

5 sp tranz on the evo is faster than the 6 sp tranz FTW.
I love my GF's EVO ix. Stock vs Stock is pretty close. Once you start adding to the FI it will take a Z. If you spend mucho dinero and FI the Z it will take the Evo depending. But i can say this EVO's still hold their damn value and are pretty much still high in price to buy. Z's are dropping.

after the bashing thats coming OP this commercial reminds of this thread.
