It was supposed to be Jaguar XFR vs. M5 vs. Audi RS5 vs. Cadillac CTS-V. But Jaguar backed out of the competition (admitting that they'd lose), and its been replaced by an EVO X MR!

summary:

Just to recap the original story....it didn't start out as EVO X vs. Cadillac CTS-V.

The auto editor at Jalopnik was going to race a Mercedes C63 AMG. But Mercedes pulled-out (didn't want to get embarassed and lose to a Cadillac again).

Then Jaguar was supposed to give them a Jaguar XFR for racing...but then Jaguar pulled-out.

So the EVO X was the THIRD choice (not the original first or even the second choice). From what I've read, it sounds like the EVO X is the editor's daily driver!

haha, the evo is going to get destoryedddddd! But it will be interesting nonetheless!

Jacky, I got excited and thought you were gonna run your car hahah

LOL me too

^ LOL!! All the SFASC members think a like! I was thinking of that as well! :lol

Is the CTS-V really that invincible........

it would be such good publicity for SFASC lol!

but too bad I am not :p

I admit. the CTS-V is a really nice car.

One of the few American cars I like, but I like the XFR too..

get the gtr in the race, and it'll be over.

CTS-V is the new sedan king.

pretty cheap for that kind of power. $77 K

^:haha::haha::haha:

how about the V10 TT rs6?

get a regular gtr for a bit more, and the power output is very similar in term of HP.

I don't consider $101,200 + 15% tax a bit more. That is $27,000 more and on RS that means 3 cars. :haha:

This is comparing a 4 door sedan.

ur right. where is the RS6.

Let's get my car in there, game fucking over

woot my 8888 posts


i better go buy lottery

your right, your rsx can totally destroy the cts-v

just wait for the new M5 :evil :evil

:eek:!! wasn't this car suppose to sell for 82k?

where have i been??

since when the hell did i said that :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

i meant to laugh at this post

get the gtr in the race, and it'll be over.


but the other guy replied before me

I believe this race is about the FASTEST production-spec 4-door sedan :confused:

lol.. they only made those specifications so that the gtr can't join.

they might as well change the rule to all cars, except the gtr, within the hp range to compete in this race.

cause i have no idea how an evo x mr fits into the race... if the evo can get in, then so should the gtr.

The EVO gets in because it's a sedan with 4-doors... is the GTR a sedan with 4-doors? No it is not... use your head man

Cuz you know, the gtr is the greatest thing since sliced bread...

lol.. you just backed me up. Thanks.
(btw, i knew someone would say it, so technically i was using my head.)

my point earlier was that the requirement for this race is bias so that the gtr doesn't fit it.

For example, having 4 doors is a must instead of having a minimum of 6 cylinders or a minimum of a certain car weight.

In my opinion even though the gtr doesn't fit into that category as well as the evo x, but it makes more sense to have it over the evo.

more point was that gtr seems to be a better match up than the evo x, even though the gtr doesn't fit in the category as well.
