The Sport Cups aren't the only unfair advantage for the GT2!

[Jeff_DML]

sunroof on the GT2?

The GT2 / GT3 is my dream car.

[Drex]

dude, unfair advantage? your paying that much for that car...u'd expect as much.

anybody else notice on the Works Evo plaque...under Exterior (pending homologation). That would be pretty sweet...limited edition works evo.

just saying in a lateral-g or timed track comparison to some other car such as f430 the GT2 being equipped with R-compound tires vs an F430 with P-zeros you would not get a real good comparison. depending on the track those tires are worth a couple seconds.

Those new M3's look a little weak. The E46 was a much better executed design, and I think we all got spoiled by it.

Astons and Maseratis are two usual favs of mine.

yea that makes sense, i understand what your saying. But to use the STi/Evo rivalry as an analogy. When one makes an improvement, the other follows suit.

Drex - love the paint job on your Suby. A great racer look without the usual giant serving of cheese - classy color combo!

Aston Martin DBS--Best Looking Car on planet Earth! and Performance to match!!!!

Just FYI, that Works Lancer is not an EVO. It's a base Lancer that has been stripped and race-prepped by Works.

Thanks for all the pics dna550! Did you happen to get any of the production STi? Or was it not there, just announced? It's such a tease to show the rally car and not the production model!

[Genericuser1]

Awesome pics, I love the exotica. Astons are just so nice.

The GT-R isn't the best looker out there but it does look purposeful.

Yes, I thought it looked better than the Evolution. There are a few Evolution pics intermixed with the Works Motorsport Lancer.

See Below. Admittedly not the most flattering shots.

STI Cherry-red badge is the signature of Subaru Tecnica International.

Thanks dna! Spot on! I can't believe how much better the Evo looks compared to the STi. Neither of them have ever been what I would call "pretty", but the Evo is definitely a handsome car for this generation.
