still, a manual NA 4.0L GT3 is guaranteed to win EVO car of the year.

I'm not so sure it will be a manual GT3 given the R won it last year.......

I'm going to go with GT4 RS..................... if they put the 4l in it, boom job done

McLaren is due a win here, but the GT3 with manual and 4.0 is going to be really tough to beat -- it's like it was custom designed to win eCOTY

For an english mag, they are very aware of the greatness of Porsche, and a few of the staffers own older 911s.

A Porsche has won seven of the last ten EVO Car of the Year competitions.

You're correct GT4 RS and GT3 RS due early next year - in which case I'll go with the Macca. They have been getting better and better.
