I think you have nailed it there Brendon. Have been in both camps and love my dak daks, but have stuck with an evo for track duties as I reckon you can get better performance for less $$ and they are bloody strong/reliable cars. I think the past history of results you mention speaks for itself. eg in Targa High Country 5 of the first 6 early modern cars were evos, although in modern the daks daks actually fared better, although possibly skewed by many late model evos running in 4WD showroom) For strict track duties I would stay in the evo camp. But for a nice daily that would be up for the odd track day its hard to go past a JDM spec dak dak, especially given evos are like bums these days.
