got my first ride in an evo
i was a little dissapointed since i was once a big 4g63 guy, i'm pretty sure from a roll in any gear other than first i'd own him easy in the miata. he had 3" exhaust and intake. nice car, surprisingly stiff for stock suspension.

meh, Evos are a dime a dozen down here. You see them everywhere. They used to be cool, but the novelty has worn off for me.
One of my buddies down here and I traded cars for a day (my Miata w/ stock everything but coilovers for his Evo w/ 350 whp but stock suspension), and at the end of the day he didn't want to give my car back. His car was fun, but the handling was just ok, and there was too much power to have fun on the street with.

The new evo's look dope as ****.
That's the trendy car around here. Either evo's or sti's. They are the best car to lease or make payments on and drive the streets like speed racer right from the dealer. There are some people that really make them into monsters and deserve respect. Most of the ones on the street are stock, or have a few mods, and are driven by crackling voiced highschool kids that crash them.
Vash- (That was all IMHO BTW)

Vs. a 1000 hp evo:

Pretty sure the miata would be winning in the corners on a good autox track, but the evo would rape in the straight aways, so would be pretty even in my mind. Obviously the evo would be faster off the line initially too.

Evo raped me on straights, but once he let me pass he said he couldnt catch back up once we hit the twisties, never saw him again after one lap. this was only 170rwhp and like no low-end torque due to over fueling.
yes, he's not the greatest driver, but as you can see, never am i. dyno chart of day before this track day:

There's a guy with an evo9 who goes out to Hallett with Moton dampers and linear springs, hawk hp+ pads, 3" exhuast, a radiator, and ra-1's. He pretty much rapes then spits on any street car out there.
Hopefully I can keep up when I put the motor in my car.
