does bring up a good point. i live in seattle(where it's rumored to rain ). and while im in love with the look of the 350z, i could only have it as a second car.

 

I'll definitely give the evo major props for badassness but the looks I've never been impressed with. 350Z is WAY better looking. Classy, sleek, stylish, and yet can kick your ___. Just how I like my ladies.

 

u can wait for ur v8 m3 ill wait for the lexus m3 KILLER(i think it was the is 500 or the is 350f...idk to many names for it)

 

well the roads are really icy and snows a lot.
but its ok... my friend drives supra here and he used summer tire in the snow + thats the only car he has.. still survived

 

350z but im good with m tC, its keeps me from drifting

 

i am not trading or anything.. i really love my tC but i have to leave US for like a year so I am giving it to my sister since my sister is looking for a car to buy.
so after i come back, she will still have my tC and i am gonna get other car. So its actually gonna be a year later when i am gonna buy Z

 

I actually mentioned that in a post lower down the page. I'm between the V8 M3 and the Lexus IS-F. I have a couple years to wait and have to see which is the better buy. The only thing that worries me is that Lexus doesn't really have experience building sport sedans such as the M3.

 

and bmw has no experience making racy v8s.

what makes most people in love with bmws, is that I6. over anyother motor type, would i or i think most people in the know want a I6. naturally balanced goodness.

but you're right, lexus doesn't make sports sedans that run like the germans. lexus or whoever can claim "tested on the autobahn" all they want. bmws, vws, benz, they are made to run everyday at high speeds on the autobahn.

 

hey draxcaliber, i've never actually argued with anyone on s/l & i plan on keeping it that way so i'll keep my mouth shut about technical stuff and speak from experience. went out autocrossing at ripken stadium a few weeks ago, me with my tc and my friend with her z (granted she was not on winter tires). there was an easy 2 inches of solid snow on the road and she called me saying
"dont stop downhill because my car will slide"
"don't stop uphill or we'll have to get a tow"
well luck had it that an m5 stopped before on me on a slope (the LAST turn b4 getting in) and was having the usual rwd trouble. he got out of it, i quickly turned into the stadium but my friend's z was STUCK.
and by stuck i mean we had to call 2 salt trucks to salt the road in the front and back of her car to get her moving after 30minutes.

THEN the entire parking lot was a good solid 2-3 inches of ICE. (oh fun times). z couldnt move after it was parked until later in the afternoon after things started to melt. first heat of miatas, mr2s, and a couple other rwd cars constantly had to be PUSHED up a slight incline to get their run in. while the lot was still crummy my time was beaten by only an evo and a hatchback (even considering my super rookie status)

so in conclusion evo>civic>tc>z in inclimate weather. HAHA just kidding! i meant to say awd>fwd>rwd if you're going to have to safely drive in snow and ice.

but you're right about the evo being uncomfortable on bad roads.
