NO surprise at all...and well earned...id of chosen the same!

 

Surprized the 458 beat the GT2 rs but not the GT3 rs.

 

Congrats to Porsche! They built a great car.

 

i am sure it was very close. All are dream cars to have.

 

Me too.

I would've picked GT2RS > 458 Italia > GT3RS. I can't wait to pick up this issue.

 

Apparently Evo has has a very high regard for 911's. They've captured a very high percentage of Evo COTY honors over the past dozen years, especially the GT cars. I have always respected the mag, but I'm sure someone will claim something is up with these selections. Reminds me of c&d and their affinity for BMW 3 series. I'd have to concur with the GT3 selections throughout the years though-especially this year! No bias here

 

I'm going to have to give the nod to Evo magazine over Motor Trend, who chose the Ford Fusion.

 

Awesome. EVO writers readily point out their own predilections for 911s - when the 997.1 RS won they acknowledged that it was almost becoming a cliche, and the year before that, when the 997.1 GT3 lost to the 599, the writers admitted that for most of the test the GT3 had a blown tire, and that was probably the only way to make the test fair for other carmakers.

I was concerned that, as the trend is with auto journalism nowadays, they were going to pick something other than the GT3RS just to shake things up. But it looks like they couldn't kid themselves!

I interested to see what they say about the 458 because it was pretty beamingly reviewed in every EVO article I read.

 

lol I agree
