Wow...Evo VIII FQ-400

So i'm sure this is probably old news but i just found out about it..http://www.topgear.com/drives/C8/A2/roadtests/22/01.html..last night i saw the episode of top gear where they take this 400 horsepower monster Evo and are able to keep up with a Lamborghini Murcielago. I was just amazed, it makes me jealous that this 400hp rarity isn't available in the U.S.

It's a nice car, but it'd be much easier to build a faster Evo on your own for less money.

True, it won't have a warranty like the FQ400, but you'll probably have better handling, less lag, etc.

I saw that. Pretty good shit. Kinda strange though...I drove an EVO once and I wasn't that impressed. Wanna drive one again...kinda makes me think I did it wrong or something...lol...

yea that shit was crazy!!!!

that was a euro EVO. its probly better than our american version. (BTW iam just guessing on this one)

wow, i should have read the whole thread and title. i have now just made an ass of my self :banghead:

I knew it was the euro one. It being right hand drive kinda tipped me off...lol...

yea, lol

how come you didn't like driving the EVO?

It wasn't bad. It just wasn't as impressive as I had thought it would be. I'd rather have an SRT-4 with the Mopar Stage 2 (or, even better, stage 3...:evillol:), actually. That thing was fast as HELL and both would actualy cost about the same after all was said and done. The EVO wasn't bad...just wasn't TOO great, in my oppinion. Getting sideways in the rain and doing a little all wheel drive drift WAS pretty cool, though. lol

I car that in an issue of motor trend. too bad they won't sell it in the us. 400hp and 355lbs of troque with all wheel drive to boot. That would be nice

Drop a few mods into a US model, then. Those power numbers are pretty easy to achieve. I've seen american versions in magazines that run 9s on STREET TIRES before...and I don't think the engine had even been cracked...

Yea, the euro models are great, but don't take the US version too lightly either...
