Very nice mate, much performance difference in real world (not track) driving compared to the GTR?

its a good question and the answer in no. in the real world as you put it the evo just feels more nimble and sharper. the gtr is a huge bus but a real beast. for me the evo handles better and the gear changes are quicker. however, on a track it would get obliterated.

Nice... I've been looking at older Evos recently. My friend had an MR FQ VIII. Just felt so planted and agile going around corners.

I imagine as the OP's Evo is quite a bit smaller than a GTR it probably "feels" more agile. Both incredible machines I'm sure. Enjoy it!

Funny I went the other way...From an X FQ330SST to a GTR.

X - v nimble easy to position, v chuckable, super sports shift v fast, well planted, a bit tinny finish wise, "FQ" as they say. bit of Turbo lag. Good car to drive fast

GTR - just hugely faster (Although I didn't like the description at first but brutal is a good description), gets to silly speeds too quickly, great round sweeping corners, not v chuckable but does a surprisingly good job when you try, entry - mid- exit speeds from corners huge grip. v little Turbo lag, Nice cabin (IMO). Great car to drive brutally fast on appropriate roads. Got a stage 2 tune and it's monstrous.

If I had enough money and space I'd probably like to have an evo as well (maybe the RS though for tracking although I prefer the SST).
