Man awesome vid,one thing though I never really liked that guy because before in the Evo vs Sti comparison the evo beat the sti in everything and he still said he would buy the STi and he didnt know why




I wonder what are the differences in how they get there 400hp and mitsu should offer the FQ400 upgrade in power in the future haha...

they should of raced in a straight line. That way we could see how fast it took off compared to the Lambo.

Jeremy sucks! I wish the FQ400 was driven by Tiff Needell. IMO, Tiff is a much better driver and his Scandinavian Flick is second to none.

Tiff just doesn't have the way with words that Jeremy has...

"It makes a ballet dancer look like she's got hooves!".. Class!!

Can you seriously see Tiff doing the 'one finger powerslide' while waving at the camera?

Tiff may be able to show how fast it is better than Jeremy, but Jeremy shows how cool the Evo is way better than Tiff.

Honestly, I never think Evo or any FQ is cool, I just know they are really damn fast. And I agree with the Brits that the EVO & STI are butts ugly. =)

Haha! I am a Brit, and I think the Evo looks awesome and the old (pre-US) STis looked awesome, and I think it is incredibly cool, in the same way that Vinnie Jones (think debt collector in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) is cool.... Just looks like it's gonna rip your head off, and probably could! But that is of course only opinion

EDIT: By cool I didn't actually mean the way it looks, I meant stuff like the 'one finger powerslide', and (from previous Jeremy Clarkson Evo tests) how horribly sideways it will go and still be able to come back. Tiff doesn't often do that (although a certain M5 test comes to mind).

But this is getting off topic, fantastic video, and thanks to whoever is hosting it.

Yes My mother's AWD Explorer has a better turning radius then my Evo. Every u-turn is a 5 pointer Tight parking garages are a b!tch. It's just a small gripe on a great car
