2:13 I hate how nobody's mentioning how that was one of the best J turns I've ever seen in my life with that Evo. I rewatched it 5 times I was that impressed lol.

Even if I had the money I would still take the EVO. Its way more practical, even though the GTR is very practical for a super car. And the rest of the money could be dumped into the EVO to make it go just as fast, and probably much faster, while having money left over. The EVO all so doesn't look like a shoe lol. The GTR isn't bad looking, but the EVO looks much better.
MrGovenator1 I agree with you guys. My buddies ask me what car I'd choose between these two and they're always surprised to hear me say I'd choose the Evo any day without hesitation!
***** His thought process is "Not V6+ and not 300HP+ = not good car" And yet his Mustang is like driving a land boat. It bounces all over the place. He has no concept of a good handling car. I have to say I like the 2015 Mustang too. I like how it has more rounded surfaces, its not all just a bunch of straight lines. Every one is hating on it, and yet its going to sell like hot cakes.
Jonny Oliveira Just goes to show how pathetic you are lurking on my channel. The Megane RS is a shit hot hatch but an excellent sports car. You have lost. I have won. Go away you fucking poor excuse for a human.
amapolishplummer Good luck with the confort in a GTR or EVO... lol It's quite ironic that you bashed the "regular" Evo in the other video, yet you are praising the harder and less practical FQ400
amapolishplummer you said "it would be a hard decision for me".... it would not, you would turn back and get a ford mondeo because you would be bleeding in pain after driving 2 miles. And these cars don't have LED's or fancy gizmos, is more about the driving, but you're more about the cruising, and having a big boot, etc
I'd take the Evo over the GT-R, even though I love the GT-R, the Evo takes corners a bit quicker, and the 4b11 motor is just amazing allowing a two liter engine to hold 1000+hp without spinning all the way down the road
+JazN N-Me You're damn right!!! The older 4wd is made to be quick and drives more like a rwd..the Xth 4wd seems to be made for safety similar to the Audi 4wd... almost boring!!! greets from Germany
Whys everyone sitting here moaning about the price difference and 'oh its an evo why compare it to a gtr'. That's one of the evos biggest selling points. The fact that it can outperform many machines costing 2 or 3 times what it does is staggering
+Luke Kindred I did notice :P Maybe I need to get some more Evo videos up, I miss your comments! Yeah very well thank you. Had a much needed for months rest and "me Time" and I'm back on it now :D
+ELP Modelling I think you definitely should! And I've missed your vids man, they're always nice and relaxed and interesting! I look forward to the future for you anyway👍
scrolex Jason Plato .is a Successful Touring car racing driver.Jeremy Clarkson is a motoring journalist .by his own admission his driving is aided by "Smoke & mirrors"
Plato is an awesome driver, but you shouldnt lift the throttle off the Evo in a corner as you would with a normal car, it disrupts the AYC. Keep the throttle in the corner, the car will send the power to the inside two wheels and will do wonders. I swear when you properly drive an Evo its breaking the laws of physics
I don't care about being the fastest on the roads, since your not suppose to drive like a nut and cause accidents anyway. The Evo is by far fast enough for me and is much better looking IMO. I'll take the Evo. Besides why would anyone compare a car that costs over 100k with a vehicle that costs over 30k. If the GT-R lost the race, that would be pretty pitiful.
From Wiki: The Nissan GT-R has electronics to control launch but the company does not use the term "launch control" since some owners have equated the term with turning off the stability control to launch the car, which may void the warranty of the drivetrain. The current version of Nissan GT-R allows user to launch the car by turning the Traction Control to "R" mode.
The problem with the Evo is that its a 4WD drivetrain in a FWD chassis. When you turn in, the chassis will predominately put more weight on the front, than in the back, essentially making the car continue to act like a FWD car in the corners.
@0:38 Holy shit if the EVO had the power to back up those looks.... It looks so much better than the GT-R and the GT-R looks good to begin with, that's hard to beat.
They dis Mitsubishi and put it on the track where obviously it will loose... put these two on even an off road drag race and Mitsubishi will win because it's lighter and designed aerodynamically for rally racing, two different leagues, both amazing. weird comparison.
The Evo raped the GTR on the first test, it's just a case of each car in it's element. The Evo is better in the tight stuff and in poor conditions, and the GTR is faster on good tarmac when it can stretch it's legs. Yeah the GTR is only 8k pound more than the Evo, but maintenance cost are killer by comparison. Always interesting to compare, but really they are different animals. Both are really great cars :)
This is why I prefer Top Gear over Fifth Gear, mostly because TG admit they do useless consumers tests and advices, while being funny and FG maybe thinks they do good tests, but hey - they compare times measured by human stopwatch in 2 cars with 2 different drivers... C'mon... What are you testing there exactly?
The two racing drivers are about equal so the laps will be what the car is capable of on the limit.If you use a presenter who is not a racing driver he won't be able to lap at the limit so you never know what the car could do.Also racing drivers are able to reel off a succession of laps within about tenth of a second of the limit.
I agree with you if that was Alonso in one car and Vettel in another... But this - hey - they are not racing drivers at least not anymore, they are presenters. Two of them. You can see Tiff is struggling with reverse, and still they count that. That wasn't race track and surely not the race. It was just some random stopwatch s**t driving including cones. Nothing less nothing more... Really I see no point of this test...
under90seconds Jason Plato is still competing ,and winning in the British Touring Car Championship,he is a multiple champion who has won more BTCC races than anyone in history.Tiff Needell raced for many years in many different types of car including F1.I doubt if Alonso or Vettel would be any faster than these guys in a normal road car.
I didn't know about Plato winning multiple BTCC... Obviously they are good drivers, but each car should be given same conditions, for the test, that's what test is all about. Anyway you have your opinion and I respect that, so let's agree that we don't agree about this video :D
wonderr An Evo is not something you want as a first car. The insurance is insane, the gas mileage is awful if you drive hard, plus, its a lot faster than most people can handle at the age when you first get your license. (16ish??) So, do what I did...get it as your SECOND car ;)
wonderr don't let people destroy your dreams, i always wanted a subaru sti (second plan was evo since i love rally) but after a few years i saved quite the money and finally purchased my dream car.
Cynical I get my license at 18 years old here in Finland and I probably wont get my first car any time soon, more like when I've got a job n stuff. But the Evo is pretty expensive, at least the newest one. But yeah I mean I was just thinking that wouldn't it be cool to have this as your first car.
wonderr Oh yeah, for sure it would be sweet as a first car, if you actually had the money and whatnot to pay for it. If you're serious about getting one, some of the older ones are pretty cheap, around the $10,000 mark for mid to late 90's here in Canada, not sure if they're that cheap in Finland. I'd recommend an 06' though. Probably the best year for the Evo, but those are double the price.
GTR is the real supercar, able to take down cars like M5, 911 and R8 for less money (at least initially). Lancer Evolution is just a insanely souped up economy regular sedan, usually costing less than half the price of GTR. Anything it can do that come close to the GTR is amazing. Thats why Lan Evo is amazing car. The super great underdog. Too bad, we will likely never heard the likes of it again.
Seramics Well the GTR is still 100k... And when it comes to GTRs you want to buy new dont you? Or is that jsut me not willing to buy a used GTR? But an M5 from a few years ago with 500+hp you can get for just 15k. :\ My point was it was kind of silly to put the M5 on the list as its cheaper by quite a bit and doesnt have too much similar stats.
It sad to watch them blame the evo on their mistakes, i have owned a evo X fq400 and it was very hard to get it to understeer if you knew how to drive it
The EVO is a pure bred rally demon. Put it on its own turf and it's sure to please. I'm not too familiar with the fq 400, but for simply a bigger turbo, it's definitely not worth it over the regular evo.
Used to have an fq400 great car, fast as hell. But I grow out of it, looked very boy racer-inspired. Also, the fuel costs were ridiculous. If I went back thou I wouldn't change a thing.
Nissan doesn't have a "rally" car. They have a sports car (370Z) and the supercar (GT-R). Comparing the 2 is just silly. And lets not get started with the actual tests. If you can't get Reverse engaged, do another run.
I had choose Evo over the GTR. Spend the rest to upgrade it and it would be faster than the GTR and its also a off road car. Probably save some money as well. Evo can be upgraded to 3000 hp.
The GT-R is developed to go fast, where the Lancer is a fourdoor family car with a great engine. Put the two on gravel, that would be a fun thing to see :P
its all about preference here in states a gtr is 90k a evo is 35k and if i put another 55k into an evo it would destroy that gt and being honest id only need to put about 30k into it to destroy that gtr even the new one. thats still 25k cheaper than a bone stock gtr. so like i said its about ur angle and ur preff.
Robert Powell The GT-R is in a different category. I would never spend 35k (let an additional 25k!) on a 4 cylinder "sports"car. The GT-R is "cheap" for its capabilities.
Evo would be more fuel efficient and has 4 doors and more room inside so it'd make a better daily. GTR is faster and cooler but is no where near as practical.
+kobyashi I can guarantee the evo will not be more fuel efficient. They struggle to get above 20mpg. That's what you get when you have 400bhp from a 2l engine. They also need a service every 4000 miles or so
Got to remember the EVO is an older design and it's unclear if they will make a new model any time soon or ever. Being a Lancer fan I'd take the EVO but I do respect the GTR.
Both great cars and would happily take either if they were given to me, out of my own pocket though i'd take the evo base version and spend the money i saved on upgrades plus it's nice to have 4 doors.
so you put a 400bhp evo vs a 480 gtr real world on dynos there making 500 odd so a 100bhp advantage over the evo. thanks like comparing a micra to an astra vxr its pointless the gtr is a grand tourer and the evo is a rally car
its just lee you have to take into consideration bhp/tonne. Evo weighs less so could have the better ratio out of the two. You also have to think about the transmission ratio evo is using.
They acknowledge the GT-R's technology, but I'm pretty sure the Evo is very technologically advanced also. It knows how you want to take a corner before you do, and when a tire slips accidentally, it sends almost all the power to that wheel to get it to gain traction. Many even call it a "computer on wheels". But even though, no hate to the GT-R. Both cars are amazing in my book.
lol stock gtr beats a done up evo..... if the gtr was done up it would be around 1k hp (i said around) it would have smoked that thing love both cars but put a turbo thats not stock into the gtr then see what happens! :)
Agustin Guglielmone Really? Supercar? Can you point me in the direction of other supercars that have a 3.8L V6 engine? A supercar that was like 80HP ahead of the Evo.
oh, you are right, sorry... now I know that the GTR is a deportive car too. I said that because most GTRs are tuned-up to compete with supercars, but I was wrong!
I'm a Subaru guy, but I can't deny evos have more potential if you want to get a 10second drag car, I really hope they update the sti motor. Hope it's 350hp and a 2.0L that be mint
L M A O at all these people defending the Evo with the "The GT-R" is a supercar. It's not a supercar, it's a supercar eater. A supercar is an exotic car. The GT-R is a fucking V6 with 3.8L engine and two turbos. That is in NO way a supercar and not to mention the 2009 model came in at 400-450HP. How super is that? Pft. You can all defend your EVO, and make excuses for it but at the end of the day the GT-R was and is the best car. Your personal opinion doesn't stop you from getting your butt kicked. The Evo had the same horsepower, it was LIGHTER by more than 200kg, and had a bigger turbo. Mitsubishi have always made shitty cars and that will never change no matter what badge you slap on it or however it looks. Evo looks better? Good. I wonder how good it will look when it gets bitch slapped by a GTR in front of your missus. Or is someone trying to overcompensate with such a big turbo? ;D
It is undeniably that GT-R is faster and better, but You have to remember that it is still quite practical 4 dour saloon, but in that case I would go for the standard EVO . . .
The GTR is a 2-door coupe. It's heavier. Had less HP and still won. What you all need to REMEMBER was that the Nissan GT-R wasn't built to look the way it does. It's aerodynamically created that way so wind build up force and momentum propelling the car forward. The car is a mixture of beast, science, mutant and awesome. Evo is just shit.
Zainab Taneska You're kind of forgetting the worst part about the GTR. You cant daily it unless you have gobs of money. 500 dollar tires, 250 dollar oil change, every 10k miles 2500 for the transmission, the insurance is higher. You would pay more then the car is worth just driving it 40k miles, if you drove it how it was supposed to be driven. The GTR is an amazing car but only if you have $$$ to keep it on the road.
***** Also forgetting that the GTR has more HP and torque (not less) "What you all need to REMEMBER was that the Nissan GT-R wasn't built to look the way it does. It's aerodynamically created that way so wind build up force and momentum propelling the car forward" ....Then he/she typed out this inane drivel ! (lol) Way too funny !!
I like how people throw out hp numbers likes it give aways hahaha. 1000 hp easily blah blah blah. Nissan is the better platform, you pay for it. Evo is below it and it's cheaper. That's about it.
The Nissan GTR is a track car whereas the Evo is a rally car the GTR is obviously gonna win on any asphalt surface but if this was a race on snow or dirt the Evo would wipe the floor with GTR. This is a very unfair comparison.
Haris Gr The whole point of the japanese car is to be able to change/swap out parts. Even if the evo is a street car it can easily be changed into what it was meant to be in the first place, a RALLY CAR.
Razvan J gtr may not be the best out there but it will still compete with cars in a much higher price range. That's what makes the gtr so special. It's the sleeper of the supercar world. People might not want to pay 200,00 + for a gt3 when they can get ssimilar performance from something that's nearly half the price.
+Razvan J I actually lost brain cells trying to piece together the responses you just wrote. Like, I've babysit 8 year olds who put together a better paragraph then you. You're arguing about something you clearly know nothing about. 😂 That's all, have a good day!
The GTR is a Phenomenal car,.. I've seen quite a lot of videos about it and other cars that is matched with it. The hype surrounding it is not unfounded.. For its Performance, Speed, and Price its definitely an awesome car and the Best Production Super car Japan has to offer..
Ever since High-school this is my dream car. I'm so sad to see the final edition of this line of cars from mitsubishi. Damn. I love to have one of this... Stay safe driving evo users... God bless mitsubishi motors.
Being from America, the pounds me laugh! Like damn that's a heavy evo! 60,000 pound GTR. How the hell are they even fast with all that weight!? (Yes I know what they mean)
