At least they can both drive and a fair test so should be good unless it's raining and they decide to see which drifts better or some other utter blx/

I'm guessing the one they like best will win, but who cares, what matters is which one you'd rather have!!!!!

Will they start the laps with a flying start as they always do ?

how can a flying start be a true test of a lap ??

It would be nice if they did a road test of the two - that would be interesting.

I'll put my neck on the line and say if it's a track test then they'll prefer the Evo, regardless of whether it's quicker or not. I think it's probably the most track focused of the two.

Hopefully they'll compare similiar priced models eitherway.

I think you're wrong here. F1 have been doing qualifying this way forever.

What, unlike Jeremy Clarkson who just does donuts and trashes tyres. I would much rather let Tiff or Jason loose in my car than Jeremy, because they are much more skilled drivers IMO.

Couldn't agree with your more, Clarkson can't drive for toffee.

If Tiff drove a car like he would if he was racing for real then that would be better, less sideways action then and more 'straight' driving if you get what I mean.

Tiff is a "lift off oversteer" junkie... entertaining to watch though

They'll prefer the Evo.... suddenly the quality of the plastic dash will be very important, and the way the lights on the evo are more aggressive...

Lap times... hmmm... will be close obviously... and they will skim over that fact and focus on the plastic again lol...

Apparently there is some panel bashing coming together moments on the track.
The Impreza may well be faster but i'd take the Evo x over that ugly pig any day
