I was actually trying to figure out why they ran the 350GT Skyline against an STI and three Evo's. Wouldn't it make more sense to run an R34 GT-R against it with the tab still in place? Alternatively on Tsukuba, the bigger R34 GT-R's might have actually done a little worse. Just seems out of place there, doesn't make sense.

I'm not surprised, when I saw the Evo X's spec sheet I was puzzled and thought someone had made a mistake somewhere. I assumed that Mitsu knew what they were doing with the new Evo, and had worked out the issues. Now I have some fear about the new GT-R with the same kind of twin-clutch automatic. This semi-manual stuff is for the birds, especially on the Evo. I can see it on things like a Gallardo or 599GTB, but they are both pushing significantly more horsepower and are much harder to fix if an idiot driver breaks it. I guess Mitsu thought they should make the Evo X less of a performance driver and more accessible. I'm certainly not impressed...
