yes, i was joking....but i would imagine it will weigh 3200+lbs (my guess).

if it weighs 3000lbs with 300hp, i will have to sell my evo quickly.

I think that was a joke, but if it wasn't I'll have to disagree with you. More like between 3000 and 3100.

Check the EVO forum again, it seems like the car SCC tested was different from the production model. Vishnu dyno'd the SCC car and got 200 awhp, with about 700-1000 miles on the odo. About 20 more awhp than production cars with similar miles.

ya, i did see that....but 20hp is not going to make a huge difference...it will make alittle, but......

Plus the SCC car probably has way more miles. Vishnu's had 600..... the S2000 and type R's are both no where near broken in at 600 miles.

Haters or not guys have to give the Z it's do, pulls consistant high 13's and more then a handful of people running mid 13's. Not to mention every mag giving it props in handling/racing profiles (yes yes I know Mag racing sucks. Unless it's an S2000.

He means most if not all the dealers on the east coast still haven't gotten there allotment of EVO 8s yet. You were going to buy it tomorrow? You do realize that most dealers already have a waiting list and those that don't want a ridiculous mark-up that isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Stekson - not sure where you were going to pick it up, but so far no one in the north eastern area has one. They have arrived in all of the west and mid-west, and now showing up in Florida and Georgia.....

Hoping they start to filter up here in the north.

My "ship date" is 3/21/03 and I am the first at my local dealer. It is a similar story with all of the local dealers... 3/21/03 (but hopefully earlier than that).

some review of the my350z.com page (ya, i registered....blaa)...there are probably already more 350Z's in the 13's than there are S2000's.

I would estimate 10 people posting here in the 13's (i will post a thread in the street enounters section in a minute) while there already appear to be that many posting over there in just 6 months of being out.

Maybe it is also a different mentality of a driver in that group vs us more sophisticated S2000 drivers.
