I see the GT-R as a great car, but again put some Conti-sports on it or PS2's and you'll see a huge difference on paper. Not only is your car slower now that its on par with the compeition, but your stuck in a heavy, soeing machine sounding supercar that's twitchy and not all that fun at the limit.
Same thing goes for the Evo's.. People were blown away by what they could do on paper, but take away those factory Yoko R compound summer tires and throw on some regular Y or Z rated tires and suddenly the performance is not anything out of the ordinary at all

thats what the tires are made for high performance cars, take off the turbo, and awd.. and u got a lancer. y are we handicapping factory cars. This is how these cars are released.. thats how they are tested, there is no advantage, because one car has a better set of oem tires on it.
