A 600 whp hp Evo vs a 605 SAE crank hp CGT, Duh, what do you expect.
But it's still and Evo vs a CGT, and the guy in the Evo would swap places with the guy in the CGT in a hearbeat, and not so he can sell it and get another Evo or 10.

I don't have the means for either right now, either!
Plus your MS6 cost you more than my 8
I just have a soft spot in my heart for cars that can run with super-exotics for a fraction of the cost.

Who cares, I could get a 72 Pinto with a junkyard 400 in it to run 10's all day, it still would be just a 72 Pinto.

Just how long could it run? I might be wrong but will an EVO hit 200mph?
In the long run the evo would have been passed by the CGT. Sure it quick but for high speed runs i dont think it can keep up. Do a roll from 130 to 200 see who wins.

damn, they got their asses handed to em. spanked by a pos evo.. who's your daddy. evo 8 foo.
me thinks the evo wouldn't hang more than one session on the track before something breaks. good for a couple straight blasts, but that's about it.

The Carrera GT has nothing to gain and all to lose. The EVO yes is an inexpensive car and 5 to 7K buys you 200 hp.
I still give credit to those that modify the car and it works well and obviously extremely competitive.
The C-GT should have never put itself in that position.

Although topical, I don't really care about 'high speed' runs- especially from 130-200 .... A 4 year old with downs can drag race
As for what you quoted - I originally tossed in that many an evo or other budget sportscar can hang with it around a track as well - I love the car to death but there's no reason to treat it like god's gift to the car world
You'll understand when you're passed by a $5k spec miata

They do pretty well, or mine did at least. You need to go to braided stainless line on the Evo's or you get fade pretty quick. I did not have a ton of extra HP in mine though.
