    Once again it proves what a terrific magazine EVO is with their writers and tests.

    I will second that!

    Even 'CAR' magazine seems to have turned into a pale imitation of Top Gear magazine of late and EVO stands head and shoulders above those two now. Though Octane does have it's moments...

    Evo and then Octane are certainly my favorite car mags. Being a gear head, I would like to see a few more numbers on the data panel for every test, like top speed in each gear at max rpm, etc, but overall, no one else comes close.

    The other comparisons are great also. Here's a well put together bit by the author, sums up Ferrari immortality in a nutshell:


    "Hero status greets the RS in the car park. People crowd around it, point, shrug and grin. Until the moment that a certain 5999cc V12 sparks into life and, with the suddenness of a teenage girl spotting the school stud in a crowd of science scholars, the Porsche is dropped. "

    :D
