Although slightly edging out the Evo X the GT-R and it share a lot in common with regards to their drivetrains and their level of technology.

I must admit from everything I have read I would have been under the impression that the EVO was more FWD biased than the GTR, it's engine is mounted transversely which normally means the awd system takes it's lead from the front unlike the GTR, the R8, Gallardo, 997Turbo etc which all in normal mode are sending almost all their power rearwards until the situation requires otherwise.

If that is what you think then it must really piss you off when you think how much better and technically advance the EVO is compared to the M3 for X much of $$ less.
But the very fact you are stating there is a $30K difference between the two cars should surely explain that the GTR must be more advanced, like it's not the case that Nissan's word is worth that much more than Mitsubishi now is it.
