I'd say the pictures of Harry Metclafe (editor) driving them would be a good indicator

The Editor owning a Zonda hardly qualifies the rest of them to form an objective opinion does it? how many of them have put enough miles on these cars to rank them in any sort of order? They have a 250 GTO on there, and an NSX-R (only one of them in the UK I believe)
'definitive list'? fuck off.

Its just a list  opens some debate.
Plus they are in a much better position than anyone on any forum to form some sort of an opinion.

Buy an MX5 and keep the change.
True but they aren't really that masculine though, suppose an Elan isn't either but still a bit more.

It looks like far too many people take what evo say as gospel.

Without sounding like a "follower" what are you expecting? Rave reviews on Fabia VRS's and Vauxhall Vectras?
They can write a decent constrcutive feature, drive well, and have driven most things on 4 wheels...who else are you going to listen to? Most manufacturers give them cars to road test and they even have a long term testing fleet..
Even Clarkson said in his book that Evo are one of the most powerful and influential mtoring media sources. There surely there is a reason behind this and why its read worldwide?

Its not as cut and dry at that. Its a group of people, who drive many many performance car, decide what they believe is the best drivers car, not the quickest, not the best handling, but the best driving
Errr yeah thanks for that i've been getting it since it came out mate

there are some strange results though..
I havent seen the article, but i've heard that the R33 GTR comes above the R35 GTR. Thats not so bad, but the R34 and R32 are much more 'drivers' cars... esp the 32. The 33 is the worst (in my opinion)
