All good paints evoWALO (yes i understand the article ) . I just feel these cars are made for the purpose of all out performance otherwise mitsubishi/ralliart wouldn't have bothered to of made this new Evo when the comments about real world performance CAR magazine made, a normal Evo 7 would do just as well so why not compare it to that and mention its quicker to 60 than most super cars. I am trying to defend the Zonda as I think it was slightly unfairly treaded in this article. But as you pointed out to me it is not a full review/comparison.

Making comparisons between the Evo/Imprezza and supercars like the Zonda has been going on for years already. I do sympathize with those rooting for or owning a supercar seeming they paid so much for something that an econobox-derived car can out perform stock. I doubt any stock VII can outrun the Zonda much less the FQ400 and what’s the point on comparing the VII when it’s not being made anymore.

The CAR article highlights the performance aspect of the first FQ400. I can only expect better figures now seeming it’s past the October début date. It also talks about the engineering & design difference between the two to give the article more to talk about. I'm still amazed that a car with a lesser spec can outrun one with better numbers.

As a stock performance car it appears the FQ400 is the best at the moment scoring mid 3s. I'd like to see how it fairs on TG's Powerlaps. My guess is it'll take 3rd or 4th place. I have strong reservations on it being 1st or 2nd. But the Stig is welcome to prove me wrong.

I do believe I'd score more chicks and turn a lot of people green with envy if I were to drive a Pagani Zonda around town. But at that price I may consider getting a Carrera GT.

the evo is a good car undoubtedly but theres always been relatively cheap cars with supercar performance, eg TVR's, Nobles and caterhams etc. The zonda is a zonda though and im sure most people here would take the zonda, even given that the evo has similar performance

And the underdog wins again, lol

But if you want top speed, then the Zonda will leave the poor EVO behind.......taa taa
