Under a tenth of a second difference is nothing to be ashamed of... and seeing that Evo X get all that air, doing rally shi.. stuff brings a smile to my face. Great battle gentlemen!
watching the side by side the EVO driver had superior lines, and just seemed to be an overall more instinctual driver. the CTR has a higher power to weight ratio which is probably what edged out that tiny victory. if both were to drive the same car, the evo driver would win.
Exactly, 100% agree, Evo IS the best handling car, and its affordable to everyone! Too bad he could have made its handling even better w wider tires like 265/35R18 at least....
Pretty nice to get a good recommendation from the algorithm, and for it to be on a track in my state. Last week, it was a video of a Drift Appalachia event in Southern WV, this week I get a Time Trial shootout at Summit Point. Good stuff.
It’s interesting to hear the Evo X referred to like it’s some sort of iconic handling benchmark. It’s a great chassis sure but I’ve never heard it brown nosed in that way. I would go as far as to say the CTR is a far more track handling focused car. Specs vs times I think shows that
@@JJdaSamuRai I’ve definitely heard it’s the best handling evo chassis because of the awd system, but that only says so much really. Still a lot of other factors (weight certainly being one), I definitely don’t discount it as a great handling car but again it’s more just the manner in which they’re speaking about it throwing me off
I've seen many time attack evos, there must be a reason for that. I believe the world autocross championship was between an evo and a corvette a few years ago?.
A 275 vs 245 tire width does make a big difference, given how close these two were, and then the fact that Type R had to run his heat at full blast on a 93 degree day, even with all those cooling modifications? I would say this was a huge win for the EVO. The whole point of tracking cars like this is to have fun, full blast heat on a summer day is not my idea of fun. I have a Golf R that I track occasionally and have three sets of wheel and tire setups, one is the stock 235 and the other two are 265, I find the grip difference is significant. Stock the Golf is an understeering pig, but I have done several suspension modifications (a lot more than just sway bars) so it turns in and rotates way better than a Type R, and with the AWD it comes out of corners much faster, Type R's cannot keep up. I have run both sizes with the same compound tires, and on my local club track I am almost two seconds quicker with the wider 265 tire vs the 235 (same day, same tire just different sizes). Oh and on really hot days I ease up (just a bit) and run the AC on track, it's a lot of fun.
Funny thing though, I haven’t seen any Golf Rs get silverware in Gridlife or GTA. Eddie is quick, not sure you’d be able to keep up with his times with only a few HPDEs worth of experience, but I’d encourage you to get out there to show what your mods are really doing. Remember ‘kills’ in a lapping day are nothing more than anecdotes. There’s even quicker Type Rs built to his class specs, not saying Golf Rs aren’t spicy but your comment seems to a have a bit of tunnel vision.
@@blaqjac21 ok and I can say the evo has 2 more drive wheels and a computer that can effectivly put down power to the ground effortlessly even if the driver is being an ape.
This is only if he still has enough energy left to invest in GRIDLIFE stuff. I've taken a look at his past GRIDLIFE Time Attack results, points-wise, he's quite good, in within Top 10 overall.
Is this a joke? 🤣 In the last decade? Let's see, the NSX is more beautiful than anything Mitsu has ever created in history. I'm not gonna bring up the S2000 cuz it's past a decade, but also the TLX is more beautiful than anything Mitsu has ever created too; same with the Integra S.
@@JesusChristwhyamIsosexy Proceeds to list cars that haven't come out in the last decade. The TLX is a cookie cutter family car design. Lancer 10 looks far better than anything Honda has put on in the last decade.
Great video , would like to see the evo on a wider set of tires tho for better comparison . however we know if it did have a set of 275 it would be faster . however one tenth off the type r is nuts ! id guess that evo is about 3400 lbs(stock 3550) vs the type r in the 3000(stock 3100) ish range . so the evo prolly is no faster with the extra hp and 5 speed vs the 6 speed in civic love the type r but didnt buy one over the simple fact of it getting hot like he stated , ended up with a SS 1LE instead .
Theres a lot of factors he lets be honest the the evo was undermatched. Yes its awd.... 2008 vs a front wheel drive track car thats practically gutted has way more work done suspension wise than the evo (look at the stability on both cars) and it already weights less than the evo... by alot n no seats?? No drivetrain loss. That's where the civic makes the power to pull out the corners and with the wider tires its goin to feel awd. Yeah honda did great with this car !! But mitsubishi did it in 08 in all weather and thats where it let off.
The Honda's how many years newer. K just trying to be a 4G63T Look at the bore and the stroke. EvoX was like We can make stronger aluminum blocks And it's a square engine like a K.
Compared to what? You could say the same about the Type R, it is one of the best handling mid prices FWD cars, but there is always something better. 275 vs 245 tire width makes a big difference, given how close these two were, and then the Type R had to run his heat at full blast on a 93 degree day, even with all those cooling modifications?

Nice to see Mark outside of G&G
i found this video after todays GYG video ahaha
I’m happy he’s happy ❤
Wish G&G showcased Mark's driving as well.

Thats basically a ty..
Without touching this track in 3 to 4 yrs he mentioned is pretty good on stock tire specs.
didn't realize mark could drive like that let's go mark!!
Hope we can see the same thing in G&G's videos.
I love the Type R but I think this really shows how way ahead of its time the Evo was.
40hp more too in Evo :S
Wow I had so much hair! This was such a fun time and one close battle😅 Thank you for having me on the show!
That double POV was awesome, a symphony of great sounds 🎉

Pretty impressive for the CTR, less horsepower and not AWD. Way to hang in the little civic.

Where I'm from, the Evo X was never affordable.
@@yongling9825 I'm sorry dude. May a used evo could fill the gap...
@@Truth-Justice-Freedom Not even a used Evo X classifies.
Anyone noticed how much less corrective steering was being done in the CTR? Seemed more composed from the driver's POV.

both are beautiful machines but man the CTR is such a good track car.
Love this series!
That track has so many god damn turns I almost got sick doing a ride along lol
With the tire difference size wise between the two, that evo is very impressive
I have an FL5 and an EVO X this is amazing 😊
Ej2 and Evo X
If i had that kinda money id get an s2000 instead and then a nice daily to go along with it lol
I am jealous I kinda hate it here. no that's awesome bro
@@repingers9777 evo is good daily
I’m trying to be like you and add an. FL5 lol. I got a GRC but I want a FL5/EVOX combo.
pray for my project car to be good, im putting k20c4 in fd2 body with integra trans. Hope it comes out good

cope is unreal,Evo lost lol. Exp when the evo driver has been around this track before unlike the fk8 driver, and has more power
@@nickbuchanan4179 that evo weights like 3500 pounds the civic is only 3100 . 40 50 hp is NOT over coming that weight difference at all

We need Mark at Grid Life . That evo looks spicy 🌶 .

Great idea for a show. Come to an autocross and try to beat my Tercel 😉

Awesome race. Love how close it was. Curious if 255s would have been the difference for the Evo
those cars sound amazing.
the racing noises are intoxicating. +1 for mic placement

Nice battle!
Loved this
Coming from an awd, I actually feel like the CTR has more grip in the corners. Also close to zero understeer
Great video , would like to see the evo on a wider set of tires tho for better comparison . however we know if it did have a set of 275 it would be faster .
however one tenth off the type r is nuts ! id guess that evo is about 3400 lbs(stock 3550) vs the type r in the 3000(stock 3100) ish range . so the evo prolly is no faster with the extra hp and 5 speed vs the 6 speed in civic
love the type r but didnt buy one over the simple fact of it getting hot like he stated , ended up with a SS 1LE instead .
from the side by side or top and bottom video comparisons of each car, the type R was definitely ahead by a tenth.
I’ll have my 08 caliber srt4 on the track next year… ready when you all are
Lovely idea to put mic inside engine bay! ❤
Great cars and great race.
The seems like it’s flying and the type R more planted . Congratulations CTR
The best FWD and the best handling is the civic, what's the evo?
Lol who the f says the evo is best handling, these nerds?
Calling the fk8 the best fwd car in the world is an insult to the ep3, dc5 and most important the dc2 type r.
But it's a fact

Evo guys coping so hard 😭🤣
CTR no awd still kick ass
The guy saying the time sheets suck!
Evo X problem is only a weight.That all.
Weight. Bad tech. Mitsubishi crap reliability
Weight yes. Tech is subjective and upgradable - I'm fine with it. I haven't had a reliability issue with mine, a semi daily, since I got it in 2017.
The timing of commercial 😅
Look how easy the guy looks driving the civic the evo is fighting with the car lol
