Laughed my @ss off at the Mini Cooper and how it couldn't get around the track at all! In limp mode by the sounds of things...they had all at time and netted 40hp at the dyno? LOL

it was totally gay. No waya ford- "fix or repair daily" should have won. The EVo was way better. The rs model did not hlp the EVOS cause.

Evo was the superior car in almost every cat

yeah they should have fitted the evo with abs or they should have gotten the gsr model atleast it has a standard abs to help them with the breaking contest. for the things that they did on the evo and the parts that went in id say the tuning was done badly. they only got 500+whp. with the part i'd say its very capable of atlst 600+whp

ABS? They should have gotten a driver who knows how to control the brakes.

I never would have watched the show without my DVR. It was so nice to skip right to the part of the show where they showed the Evo build.

+1 u can stop faster without abs with race tires dry.

abs is for turning in bad conditions. so u dont crash it isnt for awesome braking times.

so your saying cars cant stop fast without abs?
that would be driver error, they should of had a driver that knew how to drive the car i guess....

i feel embarassed that the evo was beat by a ford focus...
maybe the evo would of stopped quicker if it wasnt weighed down by all them stickers all over the thing
