Rx7 vs Evo"s

[Hi RX7]

Before actually buying the RX7 I tried both the Evo 7 and the four wheel drive Skyline GTR 34 both cars had tremendous cornering ability and after driving a while you take the cornering capabilities of both cars for granted and start to drive at stupid speeds around corners and roundabouts just because they are both so capable which is where in my opinion the RX7 was my preffered choice because it felt like the limits of your ability were more apparent in the RX7 than the other two but thats where smart/clever technology can rob you of goood old fashioned feel. And as said before driver ability does have a lot to do with it.

I think it\'s easily proved that the feed fd is togue champion (not sure if it still is) so is obviously a better handleing car. An evo is certainly going to be quicker to 60mph but evo\'s are generaly owned by people with no talent and just want to go fast the only more talentless drivers own scoobs.

If anyone has seen the togue battle between the TT FD from RE and a 600hp GTR you will know there is no way a skyline can out corner an FD. This FD was so fast through the corners it opend a huge gap.

I have been on the race track with a 700whp GTR33 with my low power setting of 470whp, Due to his weight he could not get more than 3 cars away from me on the straight and under brakes I would catch him.
 
I would say due to 4x4 the GTR and Evos are much much easier to push hard and get great times, their grip level is insane but this can happen if you push it too far. Take note, the white FD is me and the GTR that stacks it is the 700whp monster that could not leave me behinde. Since getting used to my car and the semislicks I have come down to a 1.04 and the GTR is a 1.02 with 230whp more.

Trying to get the clips to show up here.

[Dr-Rotor]

What do you do to make the clips play in these windows without having to open the links?

[Timmy]

go to your user cp, than edit options, than change your edit interface to basic.

[Dr-Rotor]

Ok lets try now....interface is set to basic now.

Had a Evo3 running 305bhp, compared to my FD\'s in the past it could not touch them whatsoever :Giggle but the FD\'s were running 460bhp and 420bhp :spank

Let me tell you all about A 12a bridge ported Gen 1 rx7 belonging to dwayne from Lindop Motorsport, Last friday we all went to Ty Croes (Anglesey race circuit) for a track day, dwayne took me round the track and smoked a EVO 8 on the track, but then again he was also not that easy to shake in my Fd, Respect to Dwayne, 1.2 N/a keeping up with most things

Its all down to drivers for the majority of these races.  Give me an Evo and I will give most Rx\'s a good run for their money, no different than the scoob I had.  Give me an Rx and once again....I will take on anything.  But this is on the road, and I\'d like to think, given my track experience, Id have a few more tools up my sleeve when things go a bit pear shaped.
 
On the track, the Evo\'s are lapping Combe in 1:11\'s.  This is slick shod, so identical to my car last year, yet I could only get as low as 1:13.  They do have a bit more horse power than I did, but the car was on the total limit....I don\'t think I could have eeked anymore out of the damn thing!
 
So don\'t underestimate the Evo.....on a bumpy road it will annihilate an Rx, as you just wont be able to get the power down.

So don\'t underestimate the Evo.....on a bumpy road it will annihilate an Rx, as you just wont be able to get the power down.

each has its own strengths and weaknesses, it all depends on what the drivers like and what you want out of it, the origin of the evo and the scoobys mainly comes from development in rallys so down bumpy roads, gravel and handeling etc the evo and scoob will have the advantages, but the rexs origins come from being built mainly as  race car and for speed rather than handeling, they are both wicked cars with their own strenghs and having owned a scooby the rex just does it better for me in every way :driving
