oh....
Rafal:
That's what i was sayin. Just thought it would be known on a car like this.
Thanks Rafal.
Right. I see a lot of test drives on EVOs.
I do not think you would be able to test drive any EVO for some time cause they will be sold even before car gets to a dealership. And driving around dealership without killing not broke-in car and get an idea about it's track performance is rather not possible.

Since you read Road and Track and you seem to like "magazine racing", look at the performance specs here.

Are the EVO rims 17x7.5? If the EVO and STi have the same size rims, they should all fit 235 right? Unless there is a wheel base problem.

But I think the WRX will also beat Boxster S on the track too, so will the EVO and STi.

EVO VII has slower slalom speed then BoxterS by R&T.
WRX obviously lags behind these.
