I made my choice, I like the Evo, I don't like fwd cars. ALL I"M SAYING IS I WAS SURPRISED HOW QUICK IT IS! I don't know how to make this any clearer.

Sti2EvoX - I'm right with you. As soon as I read this I knew there was something wrong. The Cobalt's a great buy for the money, but I just cannot see a FWD car keeping up with anything other than FWD cars.

I've said it before, I think the driver had AYC off and didn't know how to drive. The lateral G #'s might be indicative of this.
you are dead wrong sir, it had been done before.

The 08 civic Type R kept up AND raped a 06 S2000 in an episode in best motoring

I guess FWD could be designed to have almost netural handling, its just more stress on the two front tires.

Bump fail. Why? Because we now have people quoting someone's words from two years ago.

I don't think anyone should have to be accountable for some car opinion that is two years old.

If you want to talk about your SS, use a newer and more relevant thread, like this one: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-tc-evo-x.html
