Thumbs up WRC Evo Vs. J's 2000 on the Touge

These are professional drivers on a closed course, do not attempt to recreate or reenact - cause your cars aren't as cool as these.

Good vid, but I don't think its a fair comparison. The touge battles usually have more comparible cars, but you don't really ever see a battle like this.

It would have been a better comparison, if half the course was dirt. The EVO was set up for Rally, and the S2000 was all street. Great driving either way!

Fun video --- meaningless, the WRC05 wasn't setup for tarmac, but still fun.

Also the WRC vehicle is bound by many limitations, most notably horsepower. Fun comparison for sure but not exactly meaningful.

Yes, the WRC 05 is not an Evo made to WRC specs. It's actually a Lancer built to WRC specs.

I'm not even sure why they bother with races like this.
They went to a lot of trouble to put WRC car on the touge and then race with the gravel spec (softer suspension, smaller brakes, smaller wheels and dirt tires).
It's almost like they wanted to see J's Racing Honda win .

That J's racing s2k is no joke... But it still does not have any major power upgrades... Onlike header back intake ect nothing nuts.. And i agree that i think the WRC car is on dirt tires which is just stupid..
