Sierra Sierra Evo Goes 1: 43.2 At Buttonwillow

Buttonwillow Configuration 13CW. The US time attack measure of performance.  The previous quickest time was held by the HKS CT230R.

Sierra Sierra EVO 8 Time Attack car beat the long standing HKS CT230R's record of 1:43.523 set back in November 2007. The record breaking occured this past weekend at Redline Time Attack's first event of 2010 (and first event under new ownership) at Buttonwillow Raceway using the 13 clockwise track configuration.

Head over to MotoIQ for Eric Hsu’s write up on the Sierra Sierra Evo, and some of his responses to the haters out there.

Evo Magazine Car of the Decade :Result

 logo_evo
Evo Magazine from the UK had an online poll on what their readers considered to be the the best and most important car of the last 10 years and the Nissan GT-R won.

Sadly, though, there’s reason to believe the vote was swung in the Nissan’s favour (and the second-place Vauxhall VX220’s) by a brace of enthusiastic owners’ forums. The rest of the contenders were left languishing as the Japanese giant and the Griffin-badged sports car battled it out in a distinctly two-horse race.


In the Evo office though their overwhelming pick for the car of the year was the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
New ed Nick Trott – ‘the car I most desire among these is the GT3 RS. It’s not the best (GT-R), nor is it the most impressive achievement (again, GT-R) but of all the cars in this list it’s the one I’d  I’d tip my last gallon of fuel into.’

The people voted for the GT-R, the editors while many of them like the GT-R, decided they liked the P car over all others.
