This is tough, I'm die hard GTR fan but even I would contemplate the EVO VII as real compition for best bang for buck and if my near stock 32 hadn't already run 11.1 I just might have voted EVO

Sorry, I missed that option.

[luke gtr]

32.

Larger fuel tank.

[Hadouken]

^ valid point. Running e85 gets you out of the fuel station and that's about it

Some more questions to cloud the question.

What if you're drunk and your mates gotta drive? Evo wins that battle I reckon. None of my mates could hill start my GTR. (My wife could though, she drove it better than most of my friends.)

What if you have kids? (And the kids have legs)

What if you live in a snowy area?

All those questions aside, what if you have style.

Leave R32 GT-R at home. Get hammered.

Have legs; can walk

What if you live in a snowy area?

R32 GT-R has 4WD sort of

R32 GT-R

A mate of mine has an Evo7, coming from Hondas (DC2R, S2000), he also had an S14. He wants a GT-R now.

Well, this is compelling. The arguments (and poll) appear to be clearly one-sided. Its turning into a little bit of an embarrassment (if i'm honest).

If the track has corners bye bye R32 Micky

The Yanks are pulling 10's with the stock 9 turbo

I should add, he did pick up a shitter R32 VSpec2, but didn't have the money to fix it up at the time, so sold it cheaply.

Still, for an all-rounder, the Evo is better.

I'd still choose the GT-R life because I always wanted one, from seeing a silver R33 GT-R at Oran Park in 1997 when I was single digit, to Gran Turismo and Bathurst/ATCC VHS tapes my dad has.

And probably because I have daily lol.

No Evo comes close to Godzilla. Or any car for that matter!

Previous to my R, i owned an Evo 7.

Bloody 23 pounds of boost and all i managed was 200awkw. The Recaros are pretty average in them TBH, and weren't that comfortable. The side bolsters are not 1 piece, so the stitching wears real easy.

Understeerd alot more than the heavier R, and was boring after 1 year of ownership.

45?? L tank and I got 350km at most.

My VIII MR felt so agile, responsive, chuckable and obviously modern.

But the quality of manufacture and attention to detail just doesn't stack up against my BNR32.

Sure the Supra 2JZ has stronger pistons, conrods etc,...

But the upgradability of the RB26 is absolutely remarkable.

Oh yes, I forgot to add that my 8MR cam belt broke and the Recaro plastic support also broke.

[BakemonoRicer]

I have been in both and the R32 GTR feels & sounds a lot more special. my cousin had built one with built motor & upgraded twins in 2004-2005 and I was completely blown away when he took me for a drive in it.

it feels special whereas the evo doesn't. the evo is a bit more sterile....

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Post this question on an EVO Forum and wonder what the out come would be...

Lol yeah, you can't compair my 32 v an evo for track use, my 32 has had the shit beat out of it one to many times and needs some serious tlc in the driveline department

Iirc I know the EVO you are talking about and please, the engine is FULL built with all the fruit plus E85 and the car is pretty well stripped out and on slicks to run 10.7-10.8, change the turbo and it is a 9 second car

I voted for the GTR for the same reason. Having owned a modified EVO TME and now a modified GTR, I prefer the GTR.

The GTR has a 'soul' and a special feel about it that no other car I have owned seems to have. Difficult to describe. But I am sure any GTR owner will agree.

Better is such a broad term - really need to define what variable one car is going to be better at.

If chasing a broad variable I'd probably go for length of ownership as a good judge of what makes people favour one over the other. My experience is that people tend to buy Evos, have a lot of quick fun and get over them / sell within a year of buying. No one seems to hold them for a long time - maybe they don't inspire the same passion Skylines do. 32 GTR owners seem to hang onto them for years - however, I'm unsure if this is a true love / can't let you go thing, or born out of necessity...given most 32Rs spend more time in a state of repair than being driven haha
