Thanks for coming and doing a video. it was such a shame the weather played havoc on the day after how nice last year was. Hopefully next year we can return with the quality of cars we had this year but far better weather lol
nice video. as for the Evo its your car so do what you want however I don't think its all about power. in my personal opinion i think its all about how a car drives and feels. yes power is nice but id take a car that handles well and is fun around corners rather than top speed and hp. not saying GTR's handle bad they are probably very great but just because you cant keep up with other people on a track day doesn't mean get a new car if you enjoy your car keep it don't feel forced into buying another car because of that. And a track day is not a race anyways its about enjoying your own car at your own pace on a track. One thing I did learn switching from my VXR to my Micra is that lower power cars can still be fun depending how you drive it. yes driving my Micra can get quite boring on highways maybe good for a chill drive if it isn't too busy. However the taking it on a fun twisty back roads the Micra can get quite exciting and is were it definitely shines for excitement. reason why I picked the VXR because it offered a great balanced experience it handled really well and it also had a nice amount of power at least for me that and it looked good and different. I would say that the VXR is more fun when they work that is. the sound of the turbo and that feeling when you put your foot down it is fun but id have more fun going around corners in my VXR than going in a straight line having more power probably makes it a bit more fun in a straight line but its all how a car feels in my opinion. I cant say as I've never driven or been in any of those cars but id say a Evo would be more fun drivers car than a r35 GTR. I think the Evo would deliver a more involved experience with the Evo you have a manual transmission a r35 is missing that 3rd pedal and gear shifter. also some other things may feel more fun i cant say as I've never driven any of those. don't get me wrong both are extremely cool cars and I'm a fan of both the GTR and the Evo. its all down to personal preference but power and specs isn't everything some cars like the Mazda MX5, Suzuki Cappuccino , Honda beat and the MG B proved that a fun sports car does not have to be powerful. but hope this helped obviously its your car your decision and whatever makes you feel happy if a gtr makes you more happy and you can afford it then go for it but just because that somone is faster or that someone has a different opinion doesn't mean you should sell the Evo or keep it its completely up to you. by all means use other opinons to make your own decisions but dont say oh he said this so mean this. loads of people have hated on my cars especially on my corsa vxr and I didn't sell it i got rid of it because someone crashed into me. I don't really like the VXR much anymore as its not a very reliable car I was just seeing what they are like but I loved driving that car.
Love this! Thank you for a solid opinion. The Evo has always been a dream car, and the R35 running costs would be insane. Cheaper long run to build the Evo so that might be the plan!
@@dominichills what are Evo's like if you don't mind me asking. someone said that i need deep pockets to own a evo and said he owned one needed constant maintenance and it was very expensive more than his bmw m2 which that might be the thing stopping me from wanting one.
@jayfrosvlogs if you drive it in the salt that can be an issue. But if you don't, and you don't run crazy power and overly push the engine, plus if you get the right guy to look after it and get a good one to start, you'll be fine. I haven't found it expensive. The fuel is going to be if you daily it for sure.
Hi Dom. What a bunch of clean cars. Yeah, weather was not with you. Also looking at Kev´s VII newly upgrade. Using Gary´s place. If you need the quicker drive, you can´t beat most electric cars anyway. Just hope you will continue as a petrolhead.

Haha I love the 4G63T. Such a distinct sound. And yes Kev uses Gary as well as I do for the tuning and modifications. I'd never go electric, no noise which I'd hate. And yes, the cars on the day were stunning, brilliant, and the show was good. Thanks for watching as always!
