CS vs BMW 135i vs Evo X vs Civic R STI

Saw this comparison

Mitsubishi Evo X Porsche Cayman S BMW 135i Honda Civic R STI

Quite wicked!

Price comparison not fair though.

Re: CS vs BMW 135i vs Evo X vs Civic R STI

I love the way the Cayman driver is laughing most of the time -- I know exactly how he feels. I track my 911, but haven't had the Cayman out yet. Maybe in a few more thousand miles....thanks for the nice Friday afternoon diversion!

Pretty cool! Thanks for the vid.

I was a bit worried for the CS since it had last position and was on a small track, but as always it prevailed in the corners and overtook. Awesome

I wonder why they stuck a Subaru Legacy STI instead of the WRX STI.

Nice find. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I noticed that to,.....looked like he was toying with the other cars until he got past them. I'd be laughing too.

Other funny items:

Watching all the others heave and sway in the corners, while the C simply stays flat and uneventful.

Man, the BMW engine sounds weird, part way between an electric motor and someone stepping on a ducks tail! Really showed how all the HP wasn't exactly able to overcome the heft around the corners.

How the C almost left them all out of the picture the last lap.
