Well we all have our own opinions.

But you must admit, they are not professional opinions.

and are a product of the superficial knowledge we have.

Here's what BBC Topgear found comparing:

Porsche 911 GT3 v Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI v BMW M5 v Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V.Spec

The result is not in the least surprising.

Ali -can you provide an original link for that (ie: not a skyline enthusiast link)?

Jeremy Clarkson's (top gear) top 100 cars is a great vid. The GTR is in the top 10. But it's pipped by a porsche (GT2), and, indeed, the E-type jag, as the best car of all time.

Of course, like anything, 'we all have our own opinions'

no doubt Evo are better RACING car than gts-t, even gtr in someone's mind.

Evo is a car base on lancer, so no matter what, it's a lancer.

U do feel it is a CHEAP car in nomal drive, it's value shows when u drive it hard and throw it into a corner.

I do feel skyline is a more expensive/ luxury car when u drive it.

it has better balance between racing and daily drive.

who want to pay $75000 for a car which will be become PREVIOUS model in 1 or 2 years? not much...

i prefer skyline as i am a street driver, and i would like a evo on track day/ club racing / hill climb / rally ONLY.

Tell your mate to buy the 4, it will shit on the 33 GTS-T, I do and my car is still 1.8!

I 100% agree evo is better than a gts-t, but not a gsr...:bahaha:

the evo wasn't designed for just going in a straight line. what's the obsession of leaving a car for dead at the lights? true driver skill is involved in the launch, but i would say that the person with the most money will always win.

i would venture so far as to say that in a launch, the Evo will beat most gtst, i would think that a GTR would have its work cut out for it if it were to meet an Evo. true, there is the extra displacement blah blah blah, but power to weight ratio? stock for stock the Evo matches the GTR for power output. it's not too shabby in the torque department either.

asian tuners have been telling me for a very long time that it will be hard to match an Evo in a century sprint. above that will be GTR territory. true, you can spit out stats like the GTR does it in the 4 secs territory n the Evo is in the 5's. pls remember these times are clocked by pros. how many of you are genuinely able to match the pros?? with the 4wd, the Evo is definitely a friendlier car to launch, and i would venture to say that it would eat most rwds on the road.

Maxx, i think if you check around, it's not the Evo that is based on the lancer, rather it's the other way around.

and they dun share the same chasis and parts. so if you're using the lancer as comparison, it's the same as taking a normal impreza and saying it's the same as a wrx.

previous model doesn't mean lousy. Jun's Evo 5 is still around, after 3 generations, kicking arse. if previous is bad, why is the GTR32 still holding the 0-300km/h title? why is the GTR33 still holding the 1/4 mile record?

Yes, the Cedia is the base model, but the EVO7 has a thinner roof,

thinner front & rear glass, much more spot welding in the body & suspenion support areas, Aluminium wider guards& bonnet, different rear quarters, alloy suspension arms, different tail & headlights,grill, rear wing, totally different dash & interior, + all the obvious driveline differences.It is a very different car to the Cedia. Also, I do not believe that the EVO can launch as well as the GTR - just my opinion after doing it a number of times back to back with my cars.

As far as this EVO vs GTR argument goes - I would love to have a

Gemballa GTR EVO. It's a Porsche tuned by Gemballa Germany - has 880hp, 850Nm, & holds the current Nur/ring lap record for a street rego car.Fully sick. Interesting they called it a GTR EVO !!!!

A more 'normal' one is the GTR 600 which is based on the 996 Turbo - has 630hp. So if you want to add a GTR of a different kind to your collection checkout www.gemballa.com

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
