Car and Driver test reveals GTR was a lot of hype

My Evo has no interior, no cat and scrapes often, I still drive it on the road. When it comes to a rocketship for fun car those kinda things don't really matter that much to me. Give and take, you know 
Agreed that putting it in a fight with a GTR is somewhat silly, but hey, I did'nt put the comparo together.
Whatever the version of the Viper is....It appears to be brutally fast from this test. Never would have thought that it would take the braking test.

It's pretty much how any of us would take a car and turn it into a road course/time attack car.
As for why it won the braking contest, 18"x10" fronts with 295/30, and 19"x13" rears with 345/30 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (THE stickiest 'street' tire you can buy, and pretty much what everyone rolls on at the Nurburgring), and 14" brakes front AND rear.... yeah, the car will stop pretty fast.

I would take the Porsche first, then it would be a hard decision between the GTR and Z06. I would more than likely rock a Z06 first cause the market is better and proven in comparison.
Vipers do absolutely nothing for me, especially the ACR version. I would take an Evo over a Viper any day of the week.
