My girlfriend i've been with awhile is the dream girl. Loves cars and while a newb does like helpin with my mod installs and she is gettin interested in doing it herself now.

Ok i am planning on helping her get a new sports car and this is where i need some opinions.

First off, no just no to another camaro in my driveway.
She is cuaght between these three.
Lancer evo
370z
2011 mustang (she hates ford cars but once i told her they are close to camaro performance she is changing her mind.)

So what do you guys think. I am personally pushing her towards the lancer, basically since i wanna play with it too.

1badtie · 05-09-2010, 06:25 PM

if shes looking for fun and performance ive heard those lancer evos are wicked and you dont see one around every corner either..

Russo · 05-09-2010, 06:39 PM

i'd push for an Evo 9 MR(i had a evo 8 gsr)... they are getting cheap, and they and great cars,just no cruise control... i would suggest something 4 door cause yall already have a 2 door coupe...

2000v6 · 05-09-2010, 06:43 PM

I'd go with neither, get an sti over the evo instead

AZCamaroFan · 05-09-2010, 06:44 PM

nothing with rice in the pipe or a pony in the grill.

n2oSS · 05-09-2010, 06:45 PM

she doesnt like the looks of the sti and didnt want chally cuase her dad has one.

Apex Motorsports · 05-09-2010, 07:07 PM

I vote 370Z. Its one seriously fun sports car.

ViperTomcat · 05-09-2010, 07:25 PM

370Z..or the Mustang.

She'd probably like the Mustang more tho..more similar to your Camaro. Failing that..maybe the 370Z, both are cool cars IMO.

ron10 · 05-09-2010, 08:29 PM

get her a bicycle and spend the money on your mods.

no unfortunately i am married.if i was single,i would stay that way.

wbt · 05-09-2010, 10:21 PM

2011 Mustang GT. Will outperform the 370z and the Evo for the same or less $$$.

*The_Blur* · 05-09-2010, 10:32 PM

Out of those vehicles, you're in a tough spot. They're all great vehicles.

Is there a reason for those 3 cars? Similar vehicles, like the Cobalt SS, Impreza STi, and some others might fit the mold as far as performance.

A base 2011 GT is less than a base Evo and 370Z. A premium Mustang GT is also still less than a like equipped 370Z.
