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/...sts/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.

Re: Wow...Evo VIII FQ-400
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.

Re: Wow...Evo VIII FQ-400
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...

Re: Wow...Evo VIII FQ-400
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...
 ), 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

Re: Wow...Evo VIII FQ-400
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...
