But saying the Evo is a $40k car is like saying the FR-S/BRZ is a $30k car. Sure, you can spec it that way, but both start at well below that. So keep it fair, the base Evo X GSR is something like $35k these days, if MSRP is something that is going to be brought up.


Let's be honest... you are asking if the lighter car would beat the heavier car if you modded it to have equal whp while also upgrading the suspension and tires? Maybe. But now you're opening a whole other can of worms. What kind of suspension? And what about the brakes? A ton goes into this type of debate. Even two different bone stock cars driven by the same driver can have different results on different tracks, as far as which one ends up being faster.
