GR86 EVO car of the year

[Ecsrobin]

Firstly, where’s the Emira? Why have an R8 that’s literally at the end of its production instead?

I mean you could say why have a GR86 that you can’t buy?

 

[Grrrr-Woof!]

You can’t buy a GT4RS either without being a ‘special’ Porsche customer, or a 296 for the same reason…..

Re lack of Emira

If only Toyota could focus more on delivering customer cars, rather than the demos...

 

[86GR]

So where did it come then?

I reckon the GR86 wins that test. Poor weather conditions will not bode well for the CSL (which needs perfect weather), the GT4 RS is the type of car that you'll instantly love (but this is EVO and it isn't a manual), the SL isn't a natural EVO car, the 296 will be a firm challenge, the Maserati is a great car but a bit more of a tourer than perhaps you'd expect, so difficult to quantify, the R8 is just too old and the McLaren is an unknown quantity. As the only manual in that group, it will naturally be the most involving car there, using most of its capability more of the time - I predict a win.

ETA - I predict 1st GR86, 2nd GT4RS, 3rd Ferrari 296 GTB, 4th McLaren, 5th Maserati, 6th Audi, 7th CSL, 8th SL

In perfect conditions and the right spec, I predict that the CSL would be 4th or 5th in that group.

I think it’s won, I gather (from a thread on PH) it finished above the GT4RS, and the headline says it’s a surprise result.

Believe subscribers have started to receive their mags, anyone on here got it yet?!

That's @Bennno who posted on PH and here. Mine hasn't arrived yet

Create a thread with the result with spoiler in the title. We all need to know!

GR86 wouldn't be a surprise, it beat the Alpine in the previous issue.

Not got my copy yet. In fact, not had any post here for over a week! I suspect that with the postal stirke, the shops will get it before subscribers. And that should be next Wednesday.

I’ve been sin binned by a moderator on Pistonheads, told if I agree to post the EVO results that I’ll be reinstated.…..

What? That makes no sense! The thread is closed.

 

[mackie]

That’s odd, if anything I’d expect to be told off *for* giving the result.

 

[Deleted member 534]

Okay @Bennno, don't post the result but if the gr86 has won then like my post.

Canny.

(Waits with baited breath...)

 

[Conscript]

Just post it in spoiler tags, then everyone's happy.

 

[Deleted member 534]

As long as the mods are okay here it won't matter. We don't rely on Evo for ad revenues.

Just don't post any Collins Performance car of the year results.

 

[Silver Fox]

He's a tease ain't he this Bennnno fella, or known as ____ on Pistonheads, it seems.
