drive em both, should make the decision easier.

I'd probably get an evo X, only because I am a fan of change and don't like to stick with one car type when I move on - I like experience as much as I can, and a turbo awd setup is something I haven't had yet.

If you can get past the sedan look, it'd look badass! I'll post a pic of an X MR I saw in san Fran

Like the older MR. The newer design is too tall in my opinion. But, I have seen couple nice new ones on the road.

At this point, you have to ask yourself, "do I want a rear wheel drive for a true sports car feel or a fast get anywhere any season type vehicle."

I myself like the rear wheel drive and would love to have an awd for a second car.

Btw, the new Nismo 370 is nice.

lev and i were discussing this a few weeks ago. (no offense) people who compare these two cars are basically retarded. you have a rwd coupe vs an awd sedan. if it were between 370z vs genesis or evo vs sti, then you have a valid argument. this comes down to what your needs are in this point in your lifetime. do you need to carry more people/things or do you want to go for the sporty feel of a coupe?

btw go for the 370z, they're a lot more professional than a rice boy cracker jack sedan

If you want to drive during the snow and if you want practicality (back seats) get an EVO, but if you want a fun car to drive, that's RWD get the 370z.

I say go test drive both

LOL, yeah that's true. I was going more by cost, motor size, hp and the two door vs 4 dr. I believe the 370 would be more of a fair comparison.

Also, I didn't post that to show that the evo could beat the lambo, just to show that the evo could keep up. And as the guy states on the video, he wasn't trying to beat the Lambo, but to see if the Lambo could shake the Evo.

you also have to remember that the gt-r seats 4 people and 370z doesn't. the price between the fq-400 evo and gt-r is about the same ($15-30k difference) so they're almost competitors. it'll be sweet if nissan comes out with a gt-r sedan!

No, don't say that. It will remind me too much of the new dodge charger.

G37 is more luxury and less enthusiast based sports car...the Z is more raw (unlike how the 350Z/G35 is more closely related). Though the Evo is definitely a different car like Vince already stated above. I missed the look/feel of a coupe and the fastback lines of the Z/porsche cars so I went back to the Z. I know my Evo was faster and more practical...but I still prefer the Z at this point in time. I don't regret the initial switch from the Z to the Evo because i went from 5AT to 6MT and experience the turbo/awd (addicting to say the least!) and if you do go the Evo route, don't cross off the Evo 9 yet...it's arguably the best Evo built thus far.

I wouldn't consider a 300+ hp sports coupe with RWD "practical" by a long shot...even if it can sit 4 people
