    Bringing a knife to a gun fight!! 818 vs GTM

    Today I got the chance to drive a 818 and GTM. I am going to give you guys the pros and cons of both cars build quality and performance.

    Engine: 2.0 image.jpg

    Tranny: 5spd with cusco 1.5 LSD and act clutch with k tuned shifter

    Brakes: 9

    Roof: soft top

    Wiring: vcp

    Tune: vcp

    Power and delivery : 8

    Handling: 10

    Ride quality: 9

    Drivability: 9

    Agility: 10

    Overall Build Quality: 9


    Car drove very solid and had decent power low,but it really came alive around 4,500 rpms. Has incredible mid range like my setup had. I am not a huge fan of the k tuned shifter vs the FFR one in terms of engaging. Could just be my preferance but it just seems too gated and tuff to shift. Paint was perfect and a very metalic copper orange (awesome color and ghost like two tone). Overall body fitment was good but interior accents and finish needs some attention, but was prob done in a rush which brought my overall score a point lower. Car is a well built car, and I am glad I got a chance to drive it.
