EVO or a Corvette

[03v8slayer]

Ok guys i use to own a VIII. I drive a honda right now as a DD. I am going to get a weekend/ friday night cruiser no track for this car. Which do u think would be a better car for that. The vette is going to be 2003-2006 used ether just a coup or a Z06.

[ranz]

zo6 rocks!!

[vial8or]

If it's a low mileage low-priced C6 Z06 jump on that shit and don't look back

[Wedgemeister]

It's going to be your "weekend" car. Pick the one that will get you more sluts!

[CASH$ MONEY]

evo... :bow:

[fusionchicken]

z06 all day every day, c5 or c6 don't matter.

basically i'd only take an Evo over a c5, c5z/c6/c6z > Evo.

pump gas power, v8 power band, v8 low end torque, 30mpg on the highway, rwd, low center of gravity...the only flaw is lack of traction once you're making big power, unless you're OK with spending $$$ for rear tires frequently lol

vs

not as much power potential on pump gas, turbo lag, turbo lag, turbo lag, higher cg, attracting ricers/cops, awd (good or bad depending on who you are, for me it takes away some of the fun in controlling the car)

of course, this is just my humble opinion :)

Not much potential on pump? are you talking about STIs? there's evos running 9's on pump gas. 10's on stock turbos on pump gas + meth. Don't get me wrong Corvettes are fast cars for the price but only 50 + old people drive corvettes.
Attracts cops? I have my evo for 2 years now and I never been pulled over in it. My dad gets pull over all the time in his corvette.

[choicelaw]

If you can get a z06 for sure.

[ebevo]

vette +1 and with age that car will be profiling and styling wooooooo!!!

looking at your past vehicles...you had a 98 cobra and evo

2dr rwd vs 4dr awd

the vette will be a much better beast from the stang but you can use your experience with the cobra to help guide you on what the vette will be like

i guess i phrased it wrong...just remembered the buschur personal 9 rs thread lol

just so u know i had an Evo 9 for about 1.5 yrs before my RSTi, so i'm in no way hating on the Evo here. i sold the Evo due to financial reasons...as per your comment on STi yes it is crap compared to the Evo :'(

would you really want to daily drive a 9 sec. pump gas Evo? plus you put the same amount of work into the Evo as you did in the Vette and see what happens...you can't beat displacement for ultimate power/reliability and most importantly powerband.

a vette is already lighter than an Evo, a stock c5z/ls2c6 makes 350whp/350wtq, intake/headers/tune = 380whp, heads/cam package = 430whp, all on 91 oct. the response with this set up will be amazing.

i've driven a 540whp aps TT c5 z06 and after experiencing that kind of response with that much power i'm sold lol

i'm not saying the vette is * better* than the Evo, i'm just sharing my personal opinion. hell 2 yrs ago i LOVED turbo lag..."its like foreplay blah blah, gives v8s a chance blah blah", but now i'm a different person....i like throttle response now :)

as per cops/ricers, when i had the Evo i went thru everything to make my car look/sound as stock as possible but i still got hassled. Vettes dont usually bring about that "boy ricer" image that evo/sti's do...though they do bring along some other images/stereotypes :D

[03v8slayer]

Ok in no way would i mod the vette if i got it. Don't have the funds for that.And if i get the evo just full TBE and MBC. I really don't want to do the hole mod it out its just a weekend night out car for me to enjoy once in a while. My dream would be a Evo for a DD and vette for the weekend. But i don't have funds for that. i have my honda fit for the DD. Now i need a weekend car to enjoy again like i did with my Cobra and the Evo.

[03v8slayer]

i'm leaning toward the vette just do to its more how do i put it older. Now i love the evo but i did use to get a lot of unwanted looks from it. But than again i also got a lot of looks that i wanted and all of my friends loved the car they thought i was crazy when i did not get another one. This is a hard choice i am going to keep researching and look to u guys for ur input.

[enVmyIX]

if your not going to mod either of them then get the corvette. if i was in your shoes i would get the evo and upgrade the turbo and cams with all the supporting mods too of course.

[MRavenIX]

I say just think about what ur gonna want it for... if ur gonna be chillin w/ friends, go with the Evo... Â*If u don't need the extra 3 seats, Corvette... but at least get a z06 if u go *gags* Chevy... O0

[EVO Neil]

I spent seven years testing every vehicle on the planet with lots of seat time in both Evos and Corvettes including Z06's and I'd go Evo all the way. The Corvette doesn't talk to you the way and Evo does, it doesn't communicate with you and make you feel like you are a part of what is happening. In the Corvette you are just along for the ride, in the Evo you are wired into the whole experience.

I'm guessing that those saying go with the Corvette have not tested both and are talking from an aspiration point of view. What i've learned from testing vehicles for seven years is that some vehicles are not what you'd expect when you finally get to drive them. But heah, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am speaking from experience, not bench racing.

[smokinevo9]

CORVETTE WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE...............

[fusionchicken]

that's true the Evo is much more of a "driver's car" esp. comparing the steering feel of both cars...the Vette's steering really leaves something to be desired, and though i haven't driven a c6 on the Vette boards everybody said the c5z's steering is much better than that of the c6's.

for me the Vettes are more like cruisers packing a lot of balls...but in this particular thread i'm also kinda pushing the OP towards the Vette just cuz he seems to like straightline power (modding his Evo) and he's already had an Evo so why not try something else...my 2cents.

a c5z and ls2 c6 traps 114mph+ easy in the 1/4 stock, and the ls3 c6 is just ridiculous. if you want a sporty looking cruiser with power you can't go wrong with the vettes IMO.

the Evo is much involving to drive but the ride is also harsher/not as comfy, from my experience.

[vial8or]

I've been in a c6 z06, no way you'd chose an evo over that if ur not gonna mod.

Who here is on 9's, 10's, or even 11's on 91?
And those were also heavily modded.
Besides the z06 gearing is the shit and sounds muchh better

[j_nizzle]

there's evos running 9's on pump gas.

we're in california. who in california can run 9's on 91?

[vial8or]

^^no one even runs 10's on 91 here

[1WkdEvo]

Using Buschur's latest 9 sec "Pump Gas" run as an example is ludicrous

[vial8or]

^^using "stock turbos + meth = 10's" is faulty as well, seeing how that's with stripped cars and very very rare as well.

[1WkdEvo]

Exactly. Stock for stock take the Vette for pu$$y and straight line consistent performance. I you like having a car tht you are in touch with and that communicates everything to you like most of us do, then stick with an Evo. Pretty simple really

[srjohns]

I'll tell you this much, I went from an '03 Evo VIII to a C6 Z, promptly to an '08 Evo X. I don't feel like trying to explain it but its just something about the evo that I couldn't get away from, missed it... maybe the turbos? Maybe the cheap mods, maybe the AWD, maybe the steering? To me it was hard to justify the corvette as a daily driver, even the weekly depending on the weather in your area, and to pay that much for a car that you only drive "occasionally," wasn't worth the torque and looks, which is about all it has over the evo.

[EvilAWD10]

lmao...sean serious question. have you made love to your evo

[Cedia619]

Anyone here that walked out da lot wit an evo, witout any problems could afford a vett... So why do most of us drive evos? ask urslef that question and maybe ull understand...

[vial8or]

Cuz going fast in a vette is dope, but smokin a fast vette in ur 4dr shoppin cart is funner!!

Lol.

[1WkdEvo]

[MRavenIX]

^^I'm w/ this guy...ur askin a partial crowd (one that knows better) O0

[03v8slayer]

Yea i loved my evo. But i was woundering if the vette would be better for a weekend cruise. I am loveing the look of the evo still and the feel of it. But i have not owned a vette. I mean i live in FL now no real turns like i had in CA. So i am not sure how fun the evo would be here in a straight line. So i was thinking a 03-04 cobra. But thought get something a little nicer for the weekends like a vette. So would u guys still love the evo with no turns and hills. I loved it when i lived in CA but not sure about here. I test drove the 10 about a week ago and it felt like a tank. But i love the look of it in RR. But if i go evo its a IX.

[ChrisF]

I'm in a similar boat. I'm currently trying to decide on a C6, C6Z or Cayman S as a DD. I plan on keeping my modded VIII for track duty. I initially scoffed at all but the Z06, but after renting a C6 for a day a couple of weeks ago, I gained a newfound respect for the car. I highly recommend going to your local Hertz and renting one of their C6 ZHZ's for a day and that way you'll get a much more accurate impression of the car. While I somewhat agree with EVONeil about the communication the Vette gives, the '08+ cars have vastly improved steering and are a lot of fun to drive.

If it was me and I lived in an area with few curves, power would be much more important.

Best of luck

[flblkevo9]

Yeah maybe not here but in Florida. There's a couple running 10's full weight and $hit load of evos deep in the 11's full weight + stock turbos but this is off topic stuff

In that situation it'd be Cayman S all the way...

Yeah; try persuading the sellers that there is a recession and their weekend toys are no longer worth what they think they are. The prices relative to the sales prices are outta wack. At least with the Vette, the owners seem to have accepted the crappy resale at the door ;)

[flblkevo9]

I see many people here in love with the vettes. They should trade in their evos for one of those. I like them too but I'm not ready to own one of those yet. I'm too young :grin:... In 10 years for sure I'll be over 40.

Mmmm porsche is in a new ballgame!

I love that pic it was my screen saver when i was in iraq. One of my officers had a new Z06 so i put it up there just to piss him off. Dam i love the evo so much. But it just seems the vette might be good to. I can't rent one they told me i had to be 25 to rent it. I am 23 so i might just have to try to find another way to test drive one. Dam i think its going to be a IX or a X in RR or blue i love both.

Z06's break down at the track!!! just get a X..

[EvilAWD10]

at fontana last year a z06 was running 13.3 at the track all day. stock of course so other than cool factor id still take the 02 viper gts instead for looks

[05cbr600]

So the question was, what would make a better WEEKEND car. Then of course this being an Evo forum all the fan-boys jumped right in to defend the all mighty Evo. If any of you have ever driven or even been in a Z06 then you would think about your choice for a better weekend car a little harder. Some of you say the Evo is more of a "drivers" car and that it gives you better "feel", thats because the Evo makes you "think" your a better driver with its awsome AWD, AYC and all its electronics that make it an almost supercar. Get behind a lightly modded 'Vette with all that raw RWD power and lets see if any of you guys are good drivers now. True the Evo is a little more refined but for a true weekend sports car, few come close to what a Z06 can offer in stock form, even better if its modded. So stop being biased cuz you guys drive an Evo and accept the fact that most of you, if not all of you would rather wake up on a Sunday morning and open up your garage and see a Z06 just parked there waiting to be taken out for a ride, instead of an Evo.


*** Not to mention the better attention a 'Vette gets you with the ladies! lol

Except I would still rather wake up and see my evo in the garage, as much as I respect the z06 and how sick it is, I love my evo (not stock either, turbo +cams) and its speed/cornering capabilities, and it can hold more chix in it!!!

[fusionchicken]

yay now i feel less like a traitor lol

the Vettes are very serious performance machines. i used to be skeptical of them too until i got to read more about them (e.g. how the c5 z06 is made ... read up on it it's pretty intense) and i got a ride in a aps TT c5z...the ride quality and even interior ( zero rattles whatsoever and it was 80,000 miles+ on the chassis) and the ease of driving with that much power really surprised me.

lol, its just funny how people seem to hate on certain cars without even driving one or even riding in one. As car lovers that we all are, we have to embrace and respect what other cars out there have to offer. Not to condone street racing, but many Evos from this particular forum have been handed there ass by very fast American muscle at the Compton races.

I've set foot in more than a few Corvettes over the years...on the street...on the track and running the numbers that you've probably quoted from the magazines and I'll still take the Evo...any day. It's not that I don't like or respect the Corvette or Z06, it's what I preferred after extensively spending time in both. I put my money where my mouth was and bought the Evo when I could have afforded either.

And if your purchase decision involves what the ladies will think, you have issues that driving a Corvette won't fix.

[blueprint]

you posted this on an evo forum and your going to get biased opinions. likewise if u posted this in a vette forum.

ultimately the decision is yours. before i bought my evo i was in the market for everything and after extensive research i opted on the evo for numerous reasons, one of the primary reasons is Looks and Practicallity.

[LiquidLife]

You know what I've been wanting to do, is take a vette or similar car, turbocharge it and modify to make it AWD.

[fusionchicken]

yeah a modded LSx with awd will really be something...all that low end torque being usable will be sweet as hell

Everyone!!!!..........Im sure Im one of the oldest new EVO owners here............I could have purchased a Corvette as my weekend driver but ultimately picked the EVO 9 RS (Im too old for the wing :D).......Im not a big Ego person & wanted something lower radar status than the Vette (You know, 4 door sedan w/ NUTS!!).........Im not going Corvette, with the Modified White Teeth, Driving gloves & the small D#2K).........Real drivers drive the EVO.......Vette lovers need to leave the house :2funny:

[srjohns]

It's funny how the word"fanboy" is used as if the person that is using it is all grown up, but that is such a childish thing to say... anyways, I had mentioned in my previous post that I went from an VIII to a C6 Z, then less than a year later back into an evo, in X form, just personal preference, thats all... the evo is a more enjoyable car to drive.

Its really gonna be up to what he is comfortable driving in anyways, and I really don't think that he should utilize any biased opinions in this thread to make his decision, because everyone is right in that aspect, that this is an evo forum, and you're going to get evo lopsided, its the nature of the beast.

[EVO Neil]

Do what I always say when asked about Evo versus STi, drive both and decide? It's your payment, why do you even care about what others think? Especially others that have no experience in both vehicles? What valuable input are they really giving you? If YOU like the Corvette better than buy it! If you buy it and decide later that you miss the Evo, then sell it and buy another Evo, it's quite simple really. Do what you want.

[EVO Neil]

As we used to say when testing cars, the number is what the number is but that's only half of the story. It's how it delivers that number that also counts for something. Some vehicles get a better number than they deserve, some not as good. The driving experience is why the Porshce 911 gets the nod in most comparison, because you are hard-wired in to the experience and it's very, very good. The balance is perfection. The Corvettes driving experience isn't in the same league as the Porsche's, it doesn't communicate with its driver very well and you are along for the ride, not really a part of it. In Z06-form, it's like Mr. Toads wild ride...you'd better be hanging on. For some that is what they prefer (possibly because they don't know any better), but I choose a well-balanced vehicle that makes you part of the experience. To each his own!

I looked at getting a Vette before I picked up the 10. Even the base coup (430hp) with the Z51 suspnsion package is hard to touch on the track. I've always thought of the Vette as I've thought of the Harley. Impossible to look at objectively because of the majority of it's owner's being douche-bags, creating an image of a middle-aged blue-blockers, member's only jacket, izod gloves wearing fool behind the wheel. The car in and of itself is a really good track car.
I figured since GM is in the toilet, I'd get a really good deal on one. They have their "employee pricing" going on, but beyond that, the dealers aren't doing anything. They're making full pop on 'em because GM is subsidizing them. No good financing or leases made me give up on it.

As we used to say when testing cars, the number is what the number is but that's only half of the story. It's how it delivers that number that also counts for something.

How much more is the 911? I like the 911 GT3 but those are expensive!

That should be a point in the discussion also. It's not like the Evo and Corvette are in the same price range.

[skylinefolife]

^Of course they are not in the same price range, but the performance is :-P

I just love the sound of a V8...

[fusionchicken]

evo and ls2/3 c6 in the same league of performance? maybe from a dig with a so-so ls2 c6 driver and on rough terrains...everywhere else the c6 will dominate. the ls3 makes 380-390rwhp stock for cryin out loud, and traps 116mph in the 1/4 lawl

and yeah like Neil said numbers are only half the story...truer words have never been spoken. it's why i love my current car even though the Evo would rip it a new a-hole in every performance category (turbo lag isn't a category unfortunately)

lol read my previous posts. that comment was being referred to the c6 z06 vs the 911 turbo... :crazy2:

[35Evo]

I like the feeling of beating someone that spends a shit load on a car for what they get. I could buy a used Evo for 22K put 9K into it and it will blow any modded Z06-C6 out of the water, from dig or freeway. It costs to much to mod a corvette anyways. Not worth it in my eyes! My 2 cents.

Damn! I could afford to buy a Vette if you'd race me for pink slips after I did :2funny:

It is what it is. ;) My buddies brother has a Lambo Diablo, my buddy has an Evo 8 with, HTA35r, built head, 272's, boost controler, Ams/Ems, and not tuned. He beat his brothers Diablo by 3 carsÂ* on the freeway, he was even on pump. Lambo puts 500+ down to the wheels.
Dont get me wrong, vettes are cool, if your old. :2funny: :2funny:

I wouldn't mind a vette. Pinks, huh, sounds like a plan. I could buy some cool shit for my Evo after I sold your vette.

Been to too much school, but thanks for continuing to demonstrate your idiocy...it's my favorite part of these boards :-)

I want a V8 AWD, that was the point of posting that corvette for any of you that didn't read from the beginning. Yeah, I agree 1WkdEvo... sadly, I enjoy the idiocy also...

Buddy's brother's uncle's pet llama? What's so hard about freeway racing? How much skill's invlolved mashing down on the accelerator?
I'm talking on the track, where the car's capabilities are actually tested

how'd you know about his llama???

[03v8slayer]

Ok guys i asked on here because i know some of u have had both cars and wanted to see what u thought of both. I have always loved the vette but i did have a VIII and really loved the evo. But i still need to test drive the vette before i make a choice. And no its not to pick up girls in i can do that myself. I just want a car for the weekends that i can really enjoy. I love all perfromance cars and the evo use to make me so happy to just take it out and drive but at the time it was my dd and i also hated it at times do to me moding it. I am almost 95% sure i am going with a IX in ethier blue or red. Seeing it is cheaper all around i belive for the most part and i loved my VIII so i should love the IX. But i don't want to mod the car all out like i did with my VIII. I'm still looking around to at other cars to see which one will bring me the most joy for the weekend. See i am a marine and i realize now i need a perfromance car in my life i can't live with out one.Thanks for all ur input guys

[afrantz]

I have driven both and enjoyed my experiences thoroughly. Make sure to drive the corvette before you lean to far toward the Evo. They are very different vehicles, but they are both awesome in their own right. Good luck with your car shopping.

How did you manage to write a whole paragraph on that?Â* Dude just get whatever you want, live the dream!

[03v8slayer]

I learned how to strech things out in school for pappers. Its just alot of money and i am taking my time to decide which one i want thanks for ur input.

Neither car will smoke the Fit so why bother ;-)

hey, i have an even better idea. how about instead of getting an Evo for $22k and adding $9k to it, i get a civic hatch and make it 902948172034987whp for $0.85 and rip apart the space-time continuum every time i engage the furiously angry 3rd gear vTAK?

ricer math ftmfl.

Wow, this thread is so done!

[vial8or]

^^lmao hell ya

[LiquidLife]

put a v8 in the Evo

[EVO Neil]

^^ If you did that it would lose the balance it has from having a four-cylinder engine in the front.

[LiquidLife]

why so serioius?Â* no shit, it's like steping on a skateboard. :) I expected someone would say that though.

[vial8or]

put a v8 in the Evo

LMAO!! that's what I say to the muscle heads on streetfire when they get beat by us, and say "ya well put a turbo on us and see what happens"

I'll be like stfu redneck, put a 6liter v8 in our car and see what happens too

lol

[LiquidLife]

I think the car I would really want is a twin turbo viper with wheels that are so wide in the rear that it just looks like one big wheel.
