How you liking the Z?
Well i went to the track every friday and i just loved the way the evo felt when its launched, besides going to the track i launched it a lot on the street too and you know its not very good to launch on the street due to the rough terrain, i also had the IX 20g fp green installed and the rre 3300lbs clutch wich i never got to get times with cuz of the transfer case problem. I miss her a lot but i must say i love the z just not used to it yet.

What did you do with the Green? Did you take it off? That's one of my two turbos of choice.

^^ haha i know what you mean, and as for the green i took it off and sold it right after my transfer case problem, if i were you i wouldnt go with it if your looking for alot of power. I got some ok gains on the butt dyno haha but i thought i should have got some more grunt from it. ive heard they only get good gains with race gas. A buddy of mine has an VIII with 272 cams IX fp green and all the other good stuff, and i got a better 1/8th mile time than him when i only had tbe and a re-flash/w restrictor pill removal.

Your friend couldn't drive then... the Green is a 10 second bolt-on turbo.

I dunno man his motor could have been a dud, cuz he was cuttin 1.760fts but is possible never felt like a 10sec car for me, but then again tuning and supporting mods are key.

I ran a friends 4 times recently. He had the MR edition too. And every time from a roll 20mph 30, 40, I walked away from him. Many witnesses behind me in the Z club.

I'm glad everybodies happy with the car they bought. I wonder whats up with the Evo and STi I never hardly see them advertised and there are hardly any of them on the lot or news paper for sell. Are these vehicle limited production vehicles are is there just not much demand for a $35-$38k Subura or Mitsubushi?

I see 350Zs on the lots, in the papers and on the streets daily some people say thats a bad thing I like seeing people that like a nice sporting looking sports car, bc I damn sure do.

Not that the STi and Evo are not good fast cars they just take a while getting use to looking at them standing still, but they run like a striped ape!!

I'd love a STi or Evo if I lived in Colorada or Wyoming, but in the sun its the 350Z, 330ci or C5.

Evos and STIs have been around for nearly two decades now; they are proven performers and multiple WRC title holders. They cannot be touched for the price to performance ratio. Nobody in their right mind would keep an EVO stock anyway. For less than 1000 bucks in simple mods you'll have a car that will out perform 99.9% of stock cars at a track. Can't say that about a Z.

You act like the Z hasn't been around since 1969.

LMAO... FQ400 is as much an Evo as the NISMO Z is a 350Z.
