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

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
