GTi,
so get 1 X for yourself, 1 for your girl.
kind of feel bad now. I just got a Lancer in October 2007, now I'm thinking of trading it in when the X launches in AU in April... oh, decisions....
*no girl la, so no extra expenses for now
having never driven the EVO X and GTR, nor having seen the EVO X on the track yet compared to the GTR, i wouldn't make comments as bold as yours. handling is the strength of the GT-R... the Koenigsegg, a car that costs, what? triple? quadruple? 10x more than the GT-R? is *only* 5 seconds faster. Not to mention the Porsche 997, a car which is only a hair slower than the GT-R, and how much does that cost? is it even more ridiculous?
Nordschleife fastest lap times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the Nissan GTR did a lap time of 7:38.54m & 7:50m respectively. and we can both agree the Nürburgring is a technically challenging track for the handling impaired. looking at the list you can see the GT-R is among supercars. If EVO X is truly superior to that of the GT-R, then I think not only the GT-R should be worried.
of course, don't take "loaded" cars to the picture. for the money for a stock EVO I can load a Myvi and murder you on the drag strip. Or for the same money as your spanking new EVO X, I can buy a EVO VI and load it up and still murder you on the track and have cash to spare.
your statement would appear to be an insult to the GT-R, or a praise to the EVO X. depends on how you look at it. I'm feeling a little more on the former.

well.. no point comparing the gtr with the evo.. different market, different price, different class, different purpose, different history, different pedigree..
being more expensive doesnt equate to being faster.. i cannot understand the argument of modding a 'cheap' car and then be able to tahpau extremely expensive cars.. does it mean the cheaper but faster car better? performance wise, yes.. but other things? :hmmmm:
just my take..

just my take..
Couldnt agree more mr Adliz.. I just cant understand why are this people comparing this crap...obviously the GTR is an ultimate from the Japanese...the evo cant never out run it in a track..unless u guys wanna go rally :D haha.. when comparing the car, please think about issues such as torque, power to weight, gas emission, competitor class and user friendly value...not only the price laaa...*sigh* no offense both are tight..
i understand your point. though, handling wise, you must remember that the Evo's always had far better handling and stability.
also, look at how many prob's associated with "touching" the GTR's engine bay can cause. even the damn rims! lol!
well no point anyway, i know i surely wont be getting a GTR, even *if* they're the same price as the X. I'm all for Mitsu on this one.

Perhaps Nissan is doing this from a top-level decision level. Too many scams on warranty claims when what owners actually did to their R32,33,34 was mod the engine and parts to death.
I believe Nissan is headed the way of european cars, with a European at the helm of the co. And how many M3s, 911's, RS4s have you seen with DEFI meters and turbo timers?
But few of us readers seemed to realize the fact that Nissan is probably one of the first manufacturers who endorse their cars on track, without voiding the warranty. It's true this is also a money-making exercise, but I'm sure Nissan does not want it's flagship supercars falling apart on track due to poor maintenance. Definately not good for image.
Off topic a little. The only other manufacturer which endorses track activities in M'sia is probably Proton R3 when they held several events for owners in Sepang. And they didn't even charge us 20sen for any mandatory pre-inspection or the tutoring given to owners.
As for Malaysia I'm sad to say that most of our grey imports are from Japan and we will ultimately get the dreaded JDM spec R35. There are some importers which bring in cars from UK but you have to remember, those cars already have a multiple margin mark-up from the many channels they have passed through and you'll be paying for double shipping (i.e, from Japan to UK, UK to M'sia). So we can pretty much scrap that dream.
Our only hope is that Tan Chong brings in several speed de-limited units but don't expect the price to be cheap (remember the 350Z). Which begs the question if a Japanese sports car costs as much as it's German and Italian counterparts via grey imports, wouldn't most go for the latter?
P.S. Instead what I'd rather do is get a stock standard Putra and TAPAU any R35 I see on the highway at 220km/h

True tht comparing the 2 cars r crap!!! But, dun u know tht the fastest time attack in Japan is being acheived by an EVO?! :hmmmm: HKS CT230!!! Check it out!!! Evo can b very aggresive depends on what's ur end target... Not onli Evo can beat GTR on rally... Track as well mate!!!
When stock, GTR R35 is a superb car!!! But for Jap, they like to mod it n bring them to the track for the time attack in order to prove it maximization... This is where Evo can beat them... But not sure abt the latest version of Evo X & R35 as its stil very very new!!!
No point comparing it, but both hv their own fans & followers... So not R is better than the X or the other way round...
Cheers!!!
The comparison saga between R and X continue...
Evo X & new GTR park next to each other.
you see who the owner smile more smugly.
different cars the 2. in fact new GTR, no other level of sporty car been made by manufacturer comes close. (lets leave the high premium supercars out).
then again i've not driven both, but you look in awe the level of backing/commitment nissan has been on the new GTR is enourmous.

Both would be smiling smugly anyway. Especially when surrounded by Protons and Peroduas.
Interesting arguement between a GTR vs Evo X
or better said a Supercar vs Sportcar
why not you tell Pagoni Zonda, Lambo or F50 owner that they a sohai for paying so much for they car while they can spend the $$ on a Evo X to smoke everyone ?
sometime it not the car issue, it status issue
Try to park a Lambo, Evo X, GTR , F50 side by side
which one is your eye most focused on ?
