Tracked the Evo last friday. Thunderhill Raceway!
Last friday, I headed down to Thunderhill Raceway for some road course fun. This will be my first time driving it in reverse mode and I'm glad that unlimitedlaps decided to try the reverse. All I can say is that it's actually funner than the normal config of the track. Lotta late braking and sharp corners which the Evo shined the most. I couldn't ask anything more about the Evos suspension setup from the factory and it's so well tuned. It turns like butta. 
I met up some subbie peeps from NASIOC BAIC group that were heading out to thunderhill that day. Very cool guys and most of them are equipped with vishnu stuff. Unfortunately, I was on the yellow group (intermediate) and most of them were on the green group (novice). :P

Ultima GTR I believe. They are built in England and are pretty much full up race cars for the road. I don't know if there are "standard" engines for these bad boys as I have read about DOHC Ford V-8s, LS1, & BWM V-12s all being used under the hood. Sweet cars.... Dunno if they are road legal here in the states.

It looks like the car is race ready out from the factory. I just can't overcome how the car handles so well on corners (if you seen the video) especially on the first and second turn (turn 15 and 14)after the main straights. uhh! I love it.
