Great video the EVO handles like a dream. The only thing I didnt like was their test for turbo lag where they put the cars in top gear going 30mph and raced...that was just dumb.

i watch that video once in awhile and im not disappointed by the turbo lag, im not disappointed by the price... the only thing that i AM disappointed is the handling...with ACD and bilstein suspension, the rear end still lifts? definetly was not impressed....

Well lifting just shows much grip the car has when it's turning into corners. Dun forget that it's only the rear inner wheels that re lifting. And it's not a bad thing.

actually a rear wheel lift shows that the suspension is not efficient. You should not be lifting the rear wheels of any cars.

Top gear episode......EVO vs. Lambo on JULY 27th 10PM on Discovery

Hey guys,

Discovery will show the TOP GEAR episode where EVO raced Lambo on Jul 27, 2005 @10:00 PM.....cant wait to record it.

Here is what the episode is going to contain......

Can a four-door saloon keep up with an Italian supercar? Jeremy Clarkson finds out when the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo goes up against the Lamborghini Murcielago; Richard Hammond and a VW Golf get zapped by 800,000 volts and James May reviews the Jaguar XJ6.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm really glad that they are bringing this great show stateside. I hope they will show some new episodes though, most of us have seen the BBC version of it.

I believe thats an old episode with the Evo FQ400 vs the Lamborghini Murcielago on the track. I downloaded it at work. It pretty good.
