BBR Miata GT270
- 1:08.9
- 29,995 GBP
- 268 bhp

The prices are nearly identical, their power output is very close, both cars were tuned by reputable 3rd party shops, and Evo had previously tested both cars.

This would have been a more logical matchup. I guess Evo conveniently forgot about the Litchfield BRZ they tested three months ago.
I don't know. Evo has gone downhill. Maybe they actually think that adding bodykits and stickers to a car increases performance.
