Things you have realized once youve driven an Evo

When i first got into my Evo and drove it home,, i realized that i would not be able to drive another car again. No matter what i drive the handling and braking are awesome..... Anyone else have anything they noticed??

You will never have that sense of control with another car. The balance that our EVO's have are unmatched...

not quite. The evo is a great bang for the buck, but the handling and performance is nothing compared to my friend's Ferrari F40 at the track.

I realized I don't care what my car looks like, just at long as it performs.

Before I got the EVO I was into muscle cars. I had a '71 Z-28, fully restored, Koni shocks, Hotchkis springs and swaybars, built 350 SBC, and I thought it was fast. Now it is for sale . . . need I say more.

I was actually a little disapointed in the power of my evo when I test drove it. But that was compared to my GSX that was pretty freaking nuts when I let her go. But the base was there and the handling was awesome. Plus it's a hell of a lot more "user friendly" then the GSX was and a lot more practical for my life at the moment.

Back seats are nice, but I wish it were a two door.

Still, I'd never go back and I love this car.

Oh, the GSX was making somehwere in the 425+WHP range when all was said and done.

I love the way the F40 looks, and the specs are awesome. It also happens to have a huge wing!

Try getting the F40 to double as a practical family car though.

I couldn't get over how precise the steering was in the evo even compared to a 2005 545i I drove. When your turn the evo it actually feels like your turning the car the BMW had soft kinda computerized steering but it still handled well, but you really feel the road with our cars.

All I know is one thing...All Wheel Drive, It's All I'll Drive.
