| Evo X MR and WRX STi Spec C in the works
Ah! excellent question. All the harder because there isn’t a lot I won’t do to get behind the wheel of either the EVO or the new GT-R.(I’d probably choose the GT-R).I was reading a review which said that the EVO has little problem keeping up with the GT-R on mountain tracks with both cars being stock. The EVO has excellent cornering but the GT-R is one of the few if not the only one to better it.Around a proper racetrack Iam gonna go with the stock GT-R because lets face it, the high hp on the EVO does come at a price because while its handling will still be amazing compared to other cars, it will look childishly inferior to the GT-R. Having said that, in a 1/4 mile the modified EVO will outrun the GT-R(don’t know about it leaving the GT-R in the dust though) because that is where the extra hp comes on useful. The modified EVO ran 8.53 seconds while the stock GT-R did 11.7 seconds. The timing could have been better had they switched of the VDC or tested it under proper conditions but even then.... well you read the timing. In the case of both cars being modified, well the older R32 can do 0to60 in 2.8 with a hundred less hp. Put 700hp in the GT-R though and Iam gonna root for the GT-R. In the case of the modified EVO against the stock GT-R, in this case i.e, well, as I said it depends on the type of race. So yeah, a modified EVO can beat a stock GT-R. react... |
