No Im not surprised that EVO is #1 but Im amazed at how fast my car takes corners, on/off ramps really anything curvy...and I used to think my RX8 handled well.....my GSR is noticeablly better.

I have a coworker who always raves about how well the Miata handles. I kinda pointed him to this article today.

You can also point out it's harder to corner at the faster accelerations the Evo can get than the little Miata.

Nissan really needs a track Model 370Z with better pads and an oil cooler so it doesn't get hated on so much in these tests...

Woop!

Aw man! I wanna read this article but I guess some of the content is missing because I don't subscribe to C&D.

I'd throw them $0.50 just to read this one thing...

Not sure what you mean by all the content is not there. There are 8 pages of the article plus photos available and if you click on the area that says "Complete Data...etc." you will get a PDF file with the extra side bar, charts, etc. That is everything and more than what was in the magazine. Car and Driver doesn't have premium content on the website. Sometimes there is extra info like the actual driving notes from the tests (usually hand written) and additional photos that were not published in the magazine.

Not surprised at all. Anyone that's ever driven an EVO knows how well these cars handle

Reading the article really showed the Z did well in all categories, just didnt win them.

Really nicely balanced car! (just no back seat like the Evo X )

surprising that the evo was nearly a second slower than the 370z and nearly 2 seconds slower than the mustang gt.. the 5.0 is definitely something else

We can all agree the stock X is a little porky. Handles fantastic, but with the extra weight, just a tad slow. If they did that same test, but the X had no mods, except a tune. I'm sure the second here or there would be changed.

'11 X's tune is actually really quite good. GSR can hit 60 in 4.3-4? According to most recent R&T

I'm surprised that they were bagging on the tires. The stock Advans are some of the best stock tires have seen, and certainly better than many aftermarket replacements. I'm wondering if they just underwent more stress than the tires on the other cars because of the EVO's AWD.
