If i were to go fanatic on a car(from Japan that is)... I would choose the Skyline R34 GT-R. That car is a masterpiece of divine proportions. Atleast, that one is comparable to a Lancer Evo.

How does the R34 compare to an Evo? If I'm not mistaken, it's heavier and the tires wear out faster. I think the Skyline is a bit too big to be a proper GT. If it had the proportions of, say, a Porsche 911, it just might be a different story.

Back to topic, the SiR and Evo are not rivals, period. But in fairness, it wasn't stupid for a newbie to come compare these two.

at the time of the r34 and evo7, best motoring did mention in the JDM vs euro trackbattle that these two belonged to the top JDMs...

Though it's not in the same category, EVO---->>>

Keep asking those questions newies, and if you find some questions stupid, don't answer it! Peace!

:lol: OT na yung buong topic:

As for R34 vs. Evo, the R34 was the faster car at the time, hands down, more sophisticated all-wheel-drive, better turn-in, more powerful engine (around 330-350 "true" hp vs. the Evo's 276-285 "true" hp, even though both were rated at 276 only) and more grip.

But the R34 is notorious for using up brakes and tires, and in a multi-lap race, the Evo had a good chance of showing up the big GT.

As for the 4G63T Lancer vs. SiR, I once saw a drag race between a modified SiR and a 4G63T-swapped Lancer. Whether by driver error, or because of too much power, the Lancer had a lot of trouble getting off the line.

Given that the R34 is a great performer, why was it discontinued?

Back to SiR, I pretty much believe it's the easier car to drive compared to an Evo. It only has an NA engine with FWD as opposed to turbo with 4WD. It takes some time to master the launch of the Evo. I think it has something to do with clutch burning, so proper and timely release is required. In the Honda, practically anyone can launch it respectably. Light clutch, slick shifter, and an engine that only needs revs - you're up and running.

common characteristics talaga ng isang sports car ang mahirap i-drive. like in sports, you gotta have the skills. as in the case of Evo, ok lang yun. for the SiR, well it is practically an everyday car that could go fast but that is all.
