I was watching this Car and Driver TV show this past weekend, and somebody got *** to drive one of the Evo's that they were comparing... he'd never driven it before prior to that day, but he still finished the course 3 seconds ahead of the next guy, lol.

even if he didn't know the evo, he would still kick *** cuz of his familiarity with road courses. He does drive in the JGTC afterall
I'm a Kazama fan myself, but I would like to see the RWD Suby in action though

no, I meant that SPECIFIC Evo~ the one that was in the Car and Driver comparison... in the interview after his laps around the course, he says he would've liked to set up the car differently (to his preferences I gather), but was satisfied with the overall result.

I'm driving in from the O.C., it's really not that far, I was there not too long ago for Formula D, and traffic wasn't so bad.... That was pretty awesome in itself, even came out on G4's Formula D show, so that was cool.... Can't wait for D1, though....

Yea, smog laws are so arbitrary.... They eff with us about the cars, and those damn big rig trucks and older-than-old buses spew out so much crap.... That's the only reason the RB engines are not legal, cuz of all that legal blah-blah-blah.....
