Default my 2cents rant and rave totally undecided

ok after reading post after post after post. I was deciding between the EVo and 350z. One has the look and one has true performance. After calculating i came up with this. 350z is NA good baseline numbers but thats it hard to mod without spending serious cash. If i spent 28 for the enth. model. i would have to fork out like another 10 in mods and i would be running numbers that the EVo would run with just a full turbo exhaust and reflashed ECU. and that would only be 2 grand. I am just wondering what some of ur guys who have the ATI prochargers what the grand total u spent is. I am still undecided because the Z has the look but i dont know if u can have the performance without spending 5 grand on a supercharger. I mean my bro has a modded wrx base price 25 , 5 grand in mods , runs low 12s. still on stock clutch and stock tranny. man i hate buying a new car so many choices . i understand that if u want a fast car u have to spend. I dont know where this post is goin LOL. I just put myself in check. I Need helplol. Man decisions , decisions decisions.also how does the Z handle in rain.

The EVO is an incredible performance package, but I just cannot get past the looks it reminds me of a shopping cart. As far as the Z handling in the rain the stock tires are basically garbage , a set of Michelin pilots sport A/S would take care of that.

Default Get the Evo8

Knowing nothing about you but your post, I suggest that you get the Evo8.

It seems that raw performance is all you care about and you seem like the racerboy type. Once the turbo kicks in the Evo8 is a hot-sh*t car, and I think you'll like it a lot. You'll get a lot of good thrills out of it.

One of these days, though, you may be interested in a similar overall level of performance but at the same time also interested in impressing a customer or a boss or a date. Then you'll chose something more like the 350Z.

Have fun in your Impreza!

from your post it looks like you are more performance oriented, go with EVO, i think you'll be happier.

You should get what you want, but I will say that the Z handles better in the rain than anyother RWD car I've owned.
