Had a go in a friend of a friends car yesterday. Evo 9 with some engine work done on it. About 360ish bhp. Flippin heck!! that is one fast motor car. I can honestly say that is the closest I have come in a car to a motorbike experience. Not as noisy as I thought and the suspension was not as firm as I thought it would be. Very deceptive build up of speed which I think would catch out alot of people between corners (same as novice bike riders), but the brakes are awesome. Definitely a potential licence looser.

Much like my ride in a modified Impreza Type RA 2.5 - seriously fast. These cars are in a different league to most things on the road (possibly bordering M5 territory)

Seriously fast and Evo's, Scoobies and Skylines can be picked up pretty cheaply these days. Shame about the insurance and running costs though :(

I currently work for a rally prep company and all our current and planned cars are evos. I currently have an evo 6.75 (a 7 with various 6 bits in it) as a company car, that certainl shifts!

We have 4 9's comming in the first week of january to start stripping down for the new seasons cars. 2 to build up into rally cars cages etc etc and 2 to strip for spares (cheaper that way)
