evo & impreza are all out better than skyline
[b]
 after read a lot of books, saw a lot of reviews and test cars, i think mitsubishi lancer evolution series are better than nissan skyline in the cars' performance, stability and looks. |

you must be crazy, maybe stock but not when tuned to the max, and you can't even compare any of them to the looks of the R34 V-specII

Too different a class of car! You can't compare them properly!
Autocar said they loved the EVO 6, a real supercar basher, but the Skyline is more of an autobarn stormer, the EVO is a joy machine! |

I dug out a great article on the EVO 6, and they really loved it!
The Skyline was mentioned, and quote "It has steering the EVO 6 would die for, but ultimately the Skyline is too wide and too heavy to keep with the EVO cross country!" In this country especially, the Skyline would have trouble keeping with an EVO on aour contry roads, it just isn't nimble enough! But you used the word performance, and I don't think that is true at all. The Skylines performance is out of this world! I have had the pleasure of driving an R33, and it truly was amazing! I wouldn't have dreamt of throwing it around like the WRX my friend has let me drive, or the 106 GTI I had at the time, but for the roads you guys have in the States, not a lot will touch it! Official figures Roger recorded for his R33 were 0-60 4.34 secs 1/4 mile 12.93 (Sorry, no speed!) 405 bhp with I/H/E and engine management mods! EVO 6 1/4 mile (Local lad, don't know him but got good pics!) 13.1 secs! Subaru WRX Impreza (Old shape) 13.99 secs 1/4 mile |

Oh, and it true. They look like Margret Thatcher would after a hard days work in the coal mine. Could image what her hair would look like.

Don't forget how easy it is to get to nearly 1000hp without having to touch the bottom end in a Skyline; try that with a WRX

EVO and WRX are meant for autox....fast acceleration, low top speed. The Skyline is meant for circuit racing...a compromise between acceleration and top speed....along with tuneability. The EVO does feel much stiffer....partially due to it's shape (notice how round it is?..shorter wheel base), but put the two against each other from 100-200kph...you'll see who dominates...and by a much greater margin than the EVO lead the GTR in 0-100.
