Default How would type 25 be compared to EVO 340

Just thinking about it.

I think they would both be around the same power output. The type 25 would edge it in the torque stakes, but would the EVO make it back up in the handling as usual?

Having watching Litcho drive the type 25 at combe (mostly sideways) I would like one I know that much

Did you not read Autocars best handling car?
The type 25 went round brands hatch in a second less than the mr340 even went round quicker than a lamborghini gallardo!!!
Think all cars were driven by anthony reid (touring car driver) too so a fair comparison.

I did try the Spec C a while back. Have you driven one of those and how would the type 25 compare to it?

I'm hoping that I've done the right thing as My T25 will be based on a Spec C WR ltd and hopefully the best of both worlds.
