That show is old...and it isnt a head to head in terms of performance. Its a comparison of improvement of a combo of things such as style, performance, and reliability or something like that

yyeeeaa i saw that crap too... i was alil offended cuz they were trying to see which one would be the overall best in the end... im like the evo is already the overall best and even after they mod the other two it will still be the best.. dead stock

In case you guys don't remember the first season, the Chevy Cobalt beat out the XS Engineering Skyline. This was mainly due to the fact that XS had to rush to get the car completed and had no development time on it, but everyone was given the same amount of time. Just happens to be nice when Chevy had their whole motorsports division working on the project. Of course, the XS Skyline has been kicking serious *** in time attacks since it's been sorted.

Be careful of the Mini. Its a VERY good handling car and weighs about 800 lbs less than an Evo stock. It's easy enough to get one up to 400whp.
