will be in the market soon for one of these cars. The only problem is i cant find many evos out there for sale. I've tried carpoint, drive,etc .... can u guys recomment other websites?

Anyways, I've looked into both cars, just wanted u guys opinions on both...

kind leaning towards the evo cos its so rare in Australia, plus constant awd, 4 door ,etc ...I can make those wrx's drivers jealous :P ( we all know wrx drivers want evos deep down) ;)

wat u guys think ?

If i had a family and i still wanted a fast-4 pocket-rocket definately the Evo-6(the only last true Evo IMHO) gets my vote.....4doors too;)

but right now i'm leaning towards the R33 GT-R....not sure about making WRX drivers jealous or not...but i'm sure it'll be able to keep up with the best of them:D

Personaly I would go for the EVO 6, I love the Skylines especially the GTR's but I have a family and trying to get a good family sports car (4 Door) is a bit harder to chose.

EVO 6 or R34 GT-T Sedan is what I would be looking at.

The reason you don't see many evo's around is they don't represent very good value.

The Evo has wind up, wind down windows for example.

It's also a pretty uncomfortable ride.. the only thing you pay for, the only thing you get.. is the 0-100 and 0-400 times and the driving experience. The GTR gives you that as well as stuff like .. *gasp* air conditioning, power windows and those kind of features.

Also I don't really feel justified paying 60k+ for a 4 cylinder turbo car.

I'd take the R33 GTR.. get a later model vspec.

As Rezz said, various evos comes in various configurations (RS (?), GSR, tommi makinen, GTA, etc) - If you find one, it'll probably be the 'base' model which has all the normal goodies.

The interior is a bit bland - but then again, the 33 interior isn't exactly inspiring either.

There is an evo vi for sale on performance forums right now (check it out when the site is back up)

i absolutely love everything about the evos... looks (pre-evo7 models that is.... i don't know what they are thinking these days...) , performance, etcetc...

one thing that stopped me buying an evo over gtr was, at the end of the day they are just very fast lancers...

the evo like the gtr sit very well on the road, ride wise they are stiffer than ny other car but thats wat u get when u want a "sports" car, i'd get the TME evo 6, GSR, titanuim twin scroll turbo mmmmmmmmm

i dig the interiors, they equiped with recaros and are very functional!

but yeah jus my 2c.....

Given that the 350Z is a 2 seater only, I don't think thats very good advice mate.

Probably should learn a bit more about a car before you recommend it :D

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
