V35 Or Evo 7 Gta?

[xtc]

hey guys/gals, i know its up to the buyers point of view on how they feel/think about the car but honestly its the hardest decision i have to make to date.

just wondering what you guys would spend on if you had $40-$50k? the only problem i must state is that the car has to be auto/tipronic etc due to family reasons so basically woul di be better of with a gta (evo 7.5) or the new nissan skyline v35.

the gta has the evo look, goes hard around corners and has tuning potential...v35 on the other hand rear wheel drive has a decent motor but main thing that attracted me is the interior its soo god damn nice compared to the evo. help me out guys.

[NA_Goodness]

Personally, I'd go with the Evo.

But as you said yourself, Its up to you! Either way... I'm riding shotgun some time

Well if its going to be used mainly as a family car, I would go V35, seems to have bigger room inside compared to the Evos.

the evo has a really good engine and chasis. i love the awd feel, however i dont know if im up for it like as in another turbo. atm im really thinking hard because both cars are very very different. the v35 is a lux/sport looking dump rims pure *pimped gangsta* look lol. the evo im looking at has a damd kit used in 2fast 2 furious and roughly 7k mods done to it. i have driven both cars and yes the evo has more power but im really surprised at the v35 engine as its not that bad. apparently it has more touque and power then early model 350z and a convenient 4 seater car.

i dont know really at this point but ill have to make my decision really soon before end off week.

If you could extend the budget abit.. why not go the 370GT?

[R34GTTSKY]

40 - 50k

i'd wait n save up evo 10's are about 55k or sumthin i think in the paper?

or was it 60k

maybe even a second hand evo 9 would be nice:)

not a big fan of the evo7 but if it was between the 7 or the v35 i'd go the V35

[hoony]

OKAY HANG ON MAN!!!

lol

EVO VII has two main different versions...

EVO VII and EVO VII GT-A

V35 has to main different versions...

V35 Coupe and V35 Sedan...

if you're comparing V35 Sedan to an EVO VII GT-A i would choose the V35 simply because the car would be more fuel efficient, you'll have less of a tuning bug and all you have to do is throw on some awesome rims and dump it and it's automatically pimp, the interior in those things are hot...

i don't know if you know Chino (the guy that went to Mercy) but he has a Sedan one, blue with gold rims, polished lip... done man, car looks brilliant...

downside on the GT-A is that i'm pretty sure, they have a smaller spoiler than the normal EVO VII, they don't have factory Recaro's and even the bonnet is different... all the cosmetic things about the EVO VII that are hot (in my personal opinion) the GT-A doesn't possess... so looks-wise, GT-A loses hands down...

if you're thinking about a V35 Coupe, that thing is way nicer than the GT-A and the Sedan version of the V35 anyday as the headlights are sharper and the tail-lights aren't separated and don't have so many different colours scattered all over the place...

basically what i'm trying to say is (in my understanding)

there's 4 different cars you can have;

EVO VII

V35 Coupe

EVO VII GT-A

V35 Sedan

EVO VII > ALL (but i know you want an Auto)

so it's;

V35 Coupe

EVO VII GT-A

V35 Sedan

and you're preferences in my opinion go like this;

V35 Coupe

V35 Sedan

EVO VII GT-A

hope that helps Richard

cheers,

Andrew

guys i should be more specific im compareing bewteen gta and COUPE 2 door v35. if i was comparing between a sedan i wouldve went with the gta. personally i do not like the 4 door sedan just doesnt appeal to me.

[phenline]

why get a evo in automatic it is ment to be driven in manual. Get the v35 you would be so much better all around.

[xtc]

i personally have driven a gta and its not much different from manual however its a different point of viewfor those that actually havnt hence im stuck witht the fact that the gta performs much better then the v35 besides in the fuel department.

i am actually thinking about the evo x. will have to look at one tomorrow. thanks for the input guys.

[R32 Driver]

neither

get a late model Chaser

1jz no shit

[ztuned]

forgot to mention that the v35 coupe aint just the ordinary ones...its a 350hp supercharged one...much more unique than the evo7 i reckon

Its SUPERCHARGED?

I personally feel the 370GT looks hawt hawt hawtttttt

[uncouth32]

hmm, i will choose gta persoanlly... looks pretty good to me and read somewhere that the gta has the same accleration time as the manual. 4wd will be safer too for family use.. v35 is nice and cool but the space is not enough i think. then again, your call buddy! try to source for a cheaper gta and revamp the interior maybe?? hahah...

[xtc]

un fortunately i missed out on the supercharged one steven (c reds featured car in hpi fast fours etc) some guy placed a deposit just before me. it has high kms though so im looking at one almost brand new.

yes the gta has good acceleration like i said it almost the same as manual but not a manual, stock its only 6kw less than the standard rated 206kw but then again this is the gentlemens agreement when importing.

honestly i love the v35 more becuase of its exterior/interior but the gta at fabcar is absolutely 2fast 2 furious style! will let you guys know what i have decided by tomorrow night...seems likje that evo x has come into play...

Its SUPERCHARGED?

I personally feel the 370GT looks hawt hawt hawtttttt

with the exchange rate were its at you are looking at over 60k for a v36 370GT

[xtc]

i have asked about the v36 and theres one for 56990 so michael is correct on that...with that price ill be looking at the evo x. anyway i have made up my mind..ill see how everything goes and will post up a pic when it arrives.

[xtc]

ok an update...although i made the mistake of the evo 7....just not my liking ive finally got my baby. shes a lot of fun i must admit and pure luxury sports the sound of the vq35de is fabulous.

congrats

did you import or buy local?

I'm looking at getting a v35 in the near future but want to wait till the exchange improves

[xtc]

bought local michael. im not going to go into details of price if you want to talk about it just pm hth. i wouldnt import atm with the e.x. rate but i think you know already. its a quick clean ride...more luxury sports then racing sport but 6sec for it to hit 3 digit i reckon its impressive for na. its the same as 350z but you get more touque 4seater capacity and its much rare in perth.

ive got the premium model with leather bose etc which i think is neat and looks better then standard. also a hint is that silver dominates almost 70% of v35s so try and get a different colour other then that although i have nothing against that. overall i reckon its pure sex..porn if you tell me.
