Personally i'd get the evo as i couldn't justify getting a 2 seater. Both look great but id go with the evo because of its sporty look and the turbo to match.

Test pipe and axleback brings Z to 300+ rwhp.
Done.

You CAN get better gas mileage with the EVO of you keep off of it turbo-short shift, low revs-even if this is a play car, the EVO gives you versatility should your 'family' car not be driveable for some time or you are out and have to pick up some friends that call for assistance

Yeah the gas mileage wasnt that big of a deal I was just posting it because I though that is was amazing that they can get those numbers out of a 3.7! I also know that when ever you have a stick shift you can always get about 5MPG better then the estimate because the driver dictates the RPM and when to shift. That being said, that means that the Z could get about 5 MPG better too. MPG really isnt that important on this car for me, its a factor but not that big of one, thats why Im keeping my fuel efficient tC for the daily commute

Also I didnt think about the fact that my daily driver(tC) might be out of commission for a problem, so that is a big plus for the evo. RWD in NY in the winter is no fun. I know I said I would never put it in the snow and salt but if im forced to I would much rather have the evo. My decision is getting easier.

The Z gets almost as good as MPG out of a 3.7 as my tC's 2.4. Thats solid engineering. Still I cant let go of the EVO. Maybe I should gamble on a 2:1 shot and I could buy both.

get the 370 and a nice EVO IX. The evo ix SE editions are really nice...

370z will be better for you IMO since it's not your daily car. the trunk space won't matter too much

I must say I really enjoyed having my 350Z and the Nissan quality. I've had a mitsu in the past and didn't like it as much.

IMO 370Z
