Sorry for double post, forgot to say something lol..
I noticed through the whole article he didin't beat on the evo at all. Even though it's not as fast as the GT-R. He does the opposite! I love how he makes it very clear that EVO is a mass production car ( to an extent ) and the GT-R is more of a limited thing. So, he constantly mentions how good the GT-R is but, right after he mentions how this car that costs 1/3 the price manages to keep up and hold it's ground. That right there is a true enthusiast speaking. He knows the price dif and that they have their own little twists for it's performance level and he doesn't dare to bash any of them cause he knows on each of their level, they are among the best and he shows his respect. Gotta admit though, the evo looked pewny by the back beside the GT-R's quad exhaust and thick tires... lol. Don't think that one had the aero kit though.

Im trying milkman... Gtr 1st and then either a evo x mr or a ralliart... It would be a dd and autoX car.... Gtr for road courses and weekends
I think the evo will be a better autoX car than the gtr for obvious reasons ( size, overpowered) ...
I'm just going for the gtr since its harder to get and since I can order cars for mitsu , I can order exactly what I want when I'm ready... Probably a year or 2 on the evo

The GT-R makes the Evolution X look like a children's toy. The GT-R looks refined in every aspect. Only god knows what will happen when the big tuners get a hold of that power plant. Wouldn't that be nice to drive one of those cars.
C'mon POWERBALL!

Glad to see someone else came to the same conclusion about the X as I did - it's good, but in desperate need of mods.
Also I would do horrible, despicable, unmentionable things for a GTR.

I think the X holds it's own against the GT-R, honestly all except the X's dual outlet muffler. When I purchase my GSR the only thing I'll upgrade is the exhaust system!
