Thanks, very nice article.

It would be also really interesting to see how this amazing Evo compares to sedans like the new M5 and the E55.

WOW, I like such "strange" duels and that Zonda in blue is so sexy!

That's an awesome article - thanks very much for the scan! Have to say that I love those underdog victories (subjectively)!

thanks for the scan. can't say i expected this comparison, but its not that surprising that a rally-bred company could make an EVO so quick. i'd still prefer the Zonda in my garage though

Two of my favorites...

0-60 in 3.6 & 175+mph topspeed

I'd take the Zonda if I could only have one, but if I could afford a Zonda I think I could swing an Evo as well...so I'd get both.

A nice article. Thankz!!

That Zonda looks good with that color.

I'll be happy "just" with the Evo, it would be enough.

I admit that is pretty cool, but why only work with 0-62? Perhaps not significant if you want to discuss point to point, but if they need to make such a big point about the Evo's pace why not mention a little more of the acceleration.

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure a 400hp 1400kg car can hit 100mph in 7.4 seconds or 150 in less than 17.

I'm not so much arguing for the Zonda as against this crazy journalism. I like the way Car and Evo deal with the subjective way a car feels, but I think it would be nice if they included more information about their tests.
