Sold one of my Evos and bought...

I moved to Japan about 2 months ago and bought two Evo IVs when I got here. I finally saved up some extra cash so I decided to sell the Silver Evo.

I would really need more time to give a good review of the GTR since I've only had it for a few days. The silver Evo I had didn't compare much at all. It was mostly stock. Here is my other Evo that I still own

Sold one of my Evos and bought...-nzghd10.jpg

This one has at least the usually bolt ons and coilovers on it. Compared to the GTR...Straight line speed isn't far from the GTR at all when I have the GTRs boost set on the low setting. Handling is a worlds difference though...The GTR is just so planted to the road. It literally feels like its on rails. I'm sure with a few more upgrades to the Evo it could handle better but I still don't think it would meet the GTRs level. The all wheel steering in the GTR is pretty awesome too. I've never experienced that in a car before. I have an FRS back in the states with coilovers and a couple other things done to it. I thought that handled amazing but the 24 year old GTR just out does it by far. I definitely recommend buying a nice R32 if you ever have the chance.

I am also insulted that you say the GTR handles better than the Evo! That is crazy, I would have never thought that. But then again, there is an old segment with Jeremy Clarkson stating the GTR is the best car he has ever driven(up to that point).

R32 GTRs go for around $4,000-$8,000 back when I lived there (2008).

That's a Hell of a lot better than the $25k here. $35-45k to make it legal in CA.
I'll stick with my Evo LOL.

Its definitely changed since then. Now that they are becoming legal to go back to the states they have jumped in price a lot. They range about 11k-16k.

With prices like that I think I may be getting a R32 in the future.
