affordability of the Evo 6 is a factor. Half the price of a registered skyline.

I was hoping for at least one 'link' to back up the personal opinions in the Poll.
Here are four pretty funny reviews from an owner, comparing his stock Evo 6 GSR to his stock Skyline R34.

Colonel Mullet: 1st wrote:"Like treating haemorrhoids with a soldering iron"...
Link--> Retrospective: 1999 Mitsubishi Evo 6 GSR.

Colonel Mullet: 2nd wrote:Link--> Evo vs GTR, 2 weeks on...

Colonel Mullet: 3rd wrote:Link--> GTR vs Evo, round three.

After all the 'R34 Tsukuba hype' for all these years, here's his summary of 'real world' stock Skyline R34 ownership...

Colonel Mullet: 4th wrote:"A velvet fist in an iron glove"...

I never expected this at all. Makes for interesting reading.

My favourite OEM Evo model is the Evo 6 RS2... without AYC.
We'll come to the OEM/Dealers' 'Special Edition' favorites later...

are links really needed to validate a personal opinion? I like this, this is what I like FIN

Gtr over an e6 ...an evo has always looked like a lancer on steroids and really isnt my cup of tea..i prefer the boxy muscular shape of the gtr it's a strange sexy..i think perhaps stock the evo may be the better car .but your gotta love the over engineered rb26dett and the drivetrain of the gtr.

Yup and that's fine... for your personal favourite.. That was the 2nd poll question.

But this a 2-part poll: The 1st part asks which one is "King of the Hill" to the best of your knowledge.
That's where the 'links' matter... to show if what we thought all these years (me included) is actually correct.

and I also said that there was very little difference between them on the street. (Proof available.)

Everyone has a favourite. No problem with that at all... but the "real deal" is which one actually had better performance on the street... and in what way (handling, brakes, steering, acceleration, top speed etc.)

very true. this post sounds like a puff piece from 2001. written under the guise of a poll to appear as if the 1st poster isn not trying to prove a point.

this thread sounding like "i have an evo 6. let me google some documents to prove that my perspective is better-er than yours". armchair racing using videos and magazines as evidence- this car must be better becuz the magazine say so.

both cars are jdm legends from an analog era. i wish i could have any1

And that is supposed to be my point, eh!

So in your opinion, Road Tests don't give realistic performance data about the cars tested? :roll:

Maybe you should try to read the whole thread before biting your ankle. :lol:

"King of the Hill" to the best of your knowledge.... Sorry for the delay but house renovation is a p.i.t.a.
Here is some performance data on both cars...

Basically a "dead heat"; not much in it either way. One slightly quicker... the other slightly more top-end.
Their

The high-end, "Special Edition" models from both manufacturers give a better performance spread. More later . . .
