Dont know if this is a repost

nice...but if i had a choice...the big L

and talk about that turbo lag and that clutch :lol:

nice vid...the MR is an excellent car, but id rather have the more basic evo (just because of some of the MR's problems it has).

A 2 litre family sports 4 door sedan, pushing the V12 570hp Lamborghini to it's limits... my word... that's amazing!

lol i liked the bad parts of the car.

It doesent seem that practical.

Ummm....... Why the is he doing a 30mph roll in 6th gear and complaining about turbo lag?!? Thats SOME DUMB SH|T =)

That is one of the best videos ive seen!!!

my point exactly. nice vid though none the less.

great vid
thats why i love great carsand great drivers.

yea i have that vid, its innsane how hes driving the evo with like one finger, and just by tapping the wheel u can put that bad boy into drifts/ powerslides, just utterly amazing..... but the lambo is no match, its just a TANK in general

I've seen it before. That Mitsu is indeed incredible. Not because of it's engine (how lang will it last?), but because of it's behaviour in corners. Steering with one finger while you're drifting: incredible.

I totally agree. He should have been in 2nd (racing), 3rd (aggressive driving) or even 4th (just cruising around).

On the other hand, I'd have to agree with him regarding the EVO's harsh ride and huge turning radius.

My wife's Honda Odyssey seems to have a tighter turning radius then my 03 EVO 8. It's hard to look cool when you have to go back and forth just to park your car in a spot vacated by a minivan.

LOL

Bah.. I have a 2004 EVO and the ride isn't to bad.. just feels like your on rails! :)

You could very well be right about the ride on your 04. I drove my buddy's 05 EVO 8 (Not RS or MR), we both noticed his 05 rides a little softer, the steering is a little lighter and his clutch is much lighter (Almost Honda light). I've spoke with Road Race Engineering and a Mitsu parts guy, and they both assured me all the parts are the same. So I don't know what changed, or when it changed between the 03 and 05. It could even be the tires, but they're also the the same model and size.

A lambo doesn't have a tight turning circle aswell. But The next model needs go round corners a lot quicker. A big engine just isn't good enough :grinno:

I am not sure but I think MR's tight turning circle is what contributes to its great handling.
I have an MR and I do not complain about the ride but as I drooled for this car before and now I do have it...I want that FQ400 instead...lol.

I do agree I won't go 30mph on 6th (its stupid). But I think he wants to show that MR at 6th on 30mph due to turbo lag, the turbo actually does not kick in. Now it comes down to a 1.6L at top gear and a 2.0L at top gear. You would think the 2.0L would win but remember the gears and clutch are different now not to mention the large turbo for the MR FQ400. A 2.0 liter w/o turbo kicking in does not have enough power to pump up its 6th gear. Not everything is covered for this car. Probably twin turbo will help, one for low end and one for high end. LOL

You'd cruise around in 6th gear to save gas (4 mpg around the track? That's as bad or worse than the Lambo) And flooring it for just a moment didn't do anything; so, if you want to accelerate without shifting down, you're S.O.L.

There's a tradeoff between practicality and performance; the Evo is just a bit over the line heading for performance.

I'd still take the Evo over the Lambo. The pro driver spun out, and the host could drift with one finger and keeping up with the Lambo easily.

And this just seems appropriate in reference to the Evo... "Don't worry head, the computer will do our thinking now!" -Homer Simpson

Well The Video Is Nice + Very Nice Driving

meh.... the evo is a great car and all, but stuff is bound to break when you push 400hp out of a 2L...lol
but hey.... as long as it gives me some entertaining rally racing.... thats all i care about

great video...as for the evos ride,yea its a little harsh on u but it feels better when u know u can push a lambo to its limit...lol

ohh yea as for the lag...no sh!t...dump 2nd u ass...lol
