I hear what you're saying but I think its a bit unfair to compare the 2 cars really, someone who is in the market to buy a lamborghini road car wouldn't suddenly change their mind and want a full on track car lol, the reyland escort is only going to appeal to a very small proportion of people who specifically want that kind of thing. If you'd compared it to say, an rs500 or rs200, then that would be different imo, i'd agree that for someone to choose the Ford over the lambo in that case, they'd have to some serious Ford blinkers on lol.

supercar = super money = looking like a cock

wayhey look at me ive got a lambo but i cant pull away from an evo that cost less than half of the price??

lambos are pretty much status icons and fair dous they got power but in reality ppl buy them to show wealth more than anythin imo

well if the evo's such a supercar eater then why did it get humped by a fiat marea hire car on a 1 mile runway ?

And lambo's arent really designed to go round a track fast, their a prestige/performance road car aimed at high earners, they make them look sleek and expensive and thats what makes people buy them

horses for courses....do you crave performance that much to drive an evo over the lambo? i know i'd be looking at the overall picture....that lambo would look nicer on the drive than a lancer, and your starting off with a base engine already with almost 500bhp, if you want more its easily achevable

kinda funny how no-one really thinks supercar owners will buy performance bits for their cars

speaking of Lambos here is one my friend repaired a couple of months ago

apparently she lost it and rolled it after trying to avoid a sheep in the

middle of the road











and the lambo finished looks awesome

I'm sure most people would rather have a Lambo or similar to a Sierra but the simple fact is, most people can't afford them, so we make the best out of what we can afford.

I personally wouldn't want a Lao, Ferrari etc, i'd feel like a bit of a twat driving it tbh, if i had the money i'd much rather have a fast saloon, V10 M5, Audi RS6 etc.
fair point i wasnt having a dig at anyone not intentionally anyway

mate off boost a toyota yaris with a puney 1litre engine might go around a 400 bhp cossie...this doesnt mean that the yaris is a faster car does it?

the fact is both cars were being hammered around the track and neither of them was faster than the other, there wasnt much between them

but if im paying to buy a performance car i'd prefer the evo over a lambo it has similar performance, has 5 seats so can use it as a daily and use it practically for the school run etc and then it wont cost as much of a fortune to service than what a lambo would cost

you wouldnt have an either or choice to make,for people buying a lambo probably will have other cars with this being a weekend car. a lambo is a dream car that usually needs a lottery win to buy for your averge joe.an evo is an everyday car most could stretch to.
a hypothetical choice doesnt need to be clouded by luggage/fuel cost issues.

Clarkson says that the evos faster through the corners, and that the lambo pulls away in the straights.... So at a set of lights surly the lambo would beat the evo? And on a long enough straight the evo would be a spec in the mirror of the lambo, could be wrong tho

Theres two people were im from who claim there vxr engined corsas kept up with a aston martin.... Silly silly people
