Audi?

Maybe for the drag strip.

The Evo already understeers like a pig, Audi's are worse. The engine is even farther in front of the front axles than that of the Evo.

I would say no.

The GTR is basically an Evo on steroids and then some.


AWD, F/I, high tech, DSG tranny, etc. Similar to the Evo, just all around better.

I wouldn't really say a Mustang or BMW or Audi is really comparable, if those things I mentioned above are priorties in buying a car.

I know my next car will be a GTR.

That is probably because it is not in the same category as the EVO and GTR.
The CTS is along the lines of the M3/ISF. Fast cars, but definitely not designed for track duty.

^yes but its not really the same type of car; I'm under the impression the OP meant cars that are very similar.

The GTR and Evo both have one thing in mind, a performance monster for price with all the features to allow its use on a daily basis.

They are very similar cars, although both relevant to their price tags. Evo-$40k, great performance for price, OK interior, AWD, F/I, and a few minor luxury items. GTR-$95k amazing bang for buck, compared to other cars it peforms with(similar to the Evo), just you get a more upscale design interior, unique exterior, much more powerful engine, brakes/suspension, etc. Which is why I said its like an Evo on steriods.

Both are F/I AWD monsters that focus on one thing mainly and that is all around performance, whic adding in a few things that make them tolerable for daily driving.
The CTS-V/IS-F, M3, and C63 are all cars in their own class and I wouldn't say are desirable for many Evo owners who are into modding and all out performance, which is why many of us seek the GTR in the future.

Buy the X then spend 20k on mod. The car will be a lot faster yet still cheaper than a GTR.

Corvette (base, GS or Z06), M3, ISF, S5, 335 i/xi, XF (supercharged or the R model) , only cause no one else mentioned it and I work for Jaguar. 2011's have free brakes and maintenance just like the BMW's.
