And to be honest.. I expected that from the Evo.. Because I messed with one from a rolling start at 45mph.. And actually stayed next to him up until 120ish... STOCK car that is.. I'm stock also.. Pretty much anywayz.. I expect that from most all-wheel-drive cars.. I noticed at the track there was an older turbo nissan SE-R that walked EVO's AFTER it hooked up.. Off the line the evo had an edge of course.. But alot of people near me cant drive.. They have there parents buy them the "cool" car, or the one they heard was fast, and then cant drive it to save their lives..

True story. I saw an STI do 16's one night.. And then did a 15.0.. I stood up for him after that run and clapped..

That is some seriously s#itty driving.

On another note I got to test out an STI and after driving it I wanted nothing to do with it. His STI is 350whp but handled like s#it. I seriously can't live with a car that doesn't handle well.

the STI handled like crap? as compared to what? I think STI's handle pretty well, esp considering their 4wd.

This video is pretty old, Dut sold his car a while ago if my memory serves me right. Still a great video...the m3 shoulda won though damnit =(

You mean AWD, right?

Anyways, the handling on the STi might be compromised due to the extra power...the stock suspension probably cannot handle it. Having said that, I'd have to disagree with 97laxlude on the STi's handling. I've driven both stock and modded versions, and assuming the suspension upgrades are keeping up (or surpassing) the engine upgrades, I thought it handled superbly.
