iMOTOR Issue 18 : Mitsubishi Evo FQ-400 v Nissan GT-R review

evoscott · 10th July 2009, 10:47 AM

nice m8 . been gagging to see something like that for ages .would be good to see them race on the track.
when the evo x 400 out ?

SPEED MERCHANT · 10th July 2009, 11:08 AM

I never get that. How can you compare two completely different cars with such different heritage backgrounds? The age old Scoobie / Evo / Skyline argument is pointless. Ones based from a racing car, the other is based from a rally car?

Yeah okay with some work both are capable of entering the others discipline, but at the end of the day surely its the Scoobie / Evo thing more of which Evo wins every time

Kamae · 10th July 2009, 12:35 PM

surely if you're a dedicated petrol head with a little over 50k to spend on your new wheels than you'll be looking at both of these options - how on earth would the racing versus rally heritage change that simple fact?

You'd be mad not to try both cars (and maybe one or two others too) before you chose to buy your GTR!

Howsie · 10th July 2009, 12:45 PM

I disagree. You're more likely to have owned an Evo/Scooby and 'moved up' to a GT-R.

Robbie J · 10th July 2009, 12:47 PM

speed merchant is a die hard and good for it. the "new users" rate cars in different ways. I can uderstand why they are comparable but most people here side on the nissan way

Steve · 10th July 2009, 01:42 PM

Never owened a Scooby or Evo Just an R33 GTR V spec for 11 years (and now an R35)
I know where I would go EVERYTIME for speed, acceleration, adrenalin, looks, tuning potential, road holding, creature comforts etc etc etc !!!

doggiehowser · 10th July 2009, 02:08 PM

The Evo 8 MR gave me the first taste for speed. I loved how nimble and responsive it was when I first got it, and the 6 speed manual is still something I miss.

I always admired the R34 from afar. It was a brute. Powerful and menacing. But too expensive and already out of production by the time I got into cars. Wife still says mine is the "fake" GTR cos she too loves the R34.

The R35 is very grown up. When I first drove up, that's what I thought. A grown up Evo. Very civilized. Smooth. Something you could drive to the track, back to pick the missus from the office, then head off to dinner some place nice. All in the same day.

My modded Evo had a decent amount of power, with a turbo upgrade, but it was harsh for a daily drive, the turbo made it laggier which wasn't as much fun for a daily drive either. It also made a loud ruckus everywhere I went and wasn't always welcomed in some establishments

Trev · 10th July 2009, 02:10 PM

Whatever people think "Is the Evo better than the GTR" ect, ect, main point for me is that it is FUGLY!!!

wheely · 10th July 2009, 02:14 PM

well i have both a evo an GTR,cant compare them.

but as the evo is being built for time attack,and hopefully ready next month.

will be intresting to see how they go against eachother on the track,thats when the GTR is fixed

Jacey Boy · 10th July 2009, 03:16 PM

Erm no, the new 400bhp Evo is 50k

kornmonkey · 10th July 2009, 03:57 PM

You just need to space out the cones a little and the GTR would win that too.
Unless Simon Norris gets hold of the GTR and shortens it for us

ru' · 10th July 2009, 04:05 PM

evo mullered one of the cones anyway, bwah!
