evo magazine

[szymonsta]

the latest evo magazine is a 'legends' issue, re-testing some of the most legendary cars Evo has tested, with the current economic climate they suggest picking up one of these cars as a future 'classic'.
well, the dc2 integra type-r fares pretty damn well to be in there in the cheapest category, and is described as possibly the best sports car to come out of japan, ever. big claim. but still its nice to know how highly regarded our little ITRs are.

oh cool... might pick a copy up tomorrow...

[midnightdood]

thats nice isnt it.

[tinkerbell]

the DC2R is the "best front driver of all time"

"A proper strop in an Integra is not an opportunity to be passed up"

"Integra Type-R's brake feel can suffer if the car is subjected to trackdays on a regular basis"


some notable notes from EVO...

[Berty]

I cant seem to find this? Everywhere I go its not there, I only see the January edition...

[tinkerbell]

it is the March 2009 one:

[lukits01]

don't think we'll ever see another car quite like the DC2R
(atleast in australia we wont)
with ever increasing safety regulations
cars just get fatter

I love EVO. Worth every cent! Prefer it over the Aussie publications..

I like reading their challenges too!

Who else would have a Pagani Zonda as a long termer!

[tinkerbell]

i love reading evo too - such good writers, really get a sense of the car they are driving...

[Philip Lee]

me too. if i can only buy 1 car mag, it would be EVO. but i can't afford those airfright ones......

[tinkerbell]

i treat myself every 2nd month...

1 EVO mag every 2 months = 1 normal car rag every month...

[midnightdood]

Totally agree. The local mags seem to be written from a hot to show / full sick / buswhacked stand point (kinda like top gear). Uninformative. It is in my personal opinion - very poor automotive journalism. I'd rather not waste my folding on a chronology of questionable modifications (most of which) in poor taste.

i have also starting to buy another UK mag called Performance Car.

if u are old enough, you will probably know that there was a great mag called Performance Car. it folded back in the 90s and the same group of people then started up EVO.

obviously the new PC has different direction but i find it a very good read.

where EVO features lots of exxy cars, the PC aims at the "affordable" performance car market. as well as new cars, it regularly features some of the older classics (including a DC2R as a long termer).
