Really? I just raced a brand new s4 the 4.2L v8's it looked liek it was a 06. It was coming down from willow springs. It was from a 65roll to about 120 and I beat him by like at least 4 cars. So was your car stock at that point?

Oh yeah, sorry. I rape the new S4's also, i'm talking the TT v6 S4. The new S4 i don't even consider an S4, it's a big block A4. Yes i am still stock and was at the point of the races. I also beat a 2005 S4 by 5 cars or so.

4 motion isnt all time 4 wheel drive.....the rear wheels only kick in when necessary....from a roll 30-70 in every mag the r32 has been much faster than an evo and sti.....i suggest heavy brake boosting if going from a roll.....

ps.... r32's are suuuuuuuuuuuper easy to drive and launch.... the evo on a launch takes a little more technique.... so watch out...

Uh, what? No sir, they are not faster from a roll. NO matter how you slice, they have less WHEEL HORSEPOWER, and their power/weight ratio is lower regardless of their fancy drivetrain.

I would'nt mind an R32 as a daily driver. The interior is very nice. Too bad I could only afford one car so I got a car I'd like driving more. lol.

Only fast R32's are the ones that are boosted, don't bother with the n/a ones.

they dont have the drivetrain power loss that other true awd will suffer from there fore a quicker response and jump...from a roll above 40 i think its a toss up... depends on the drives...i beat one when i was stock...but can you?

he jumped on me for a 4 or 5 seconds then i passed him.... about a week later i learned about brake boosting and we were even for a second or 2 then i pulled away fast


i dont mean to sound anti evo....but i realize that the evo has many good things about it, but its not the best by no means. the 4 motion and transmission in the r32 is 20 years ahead of anything mitsubishi has to offer. they would be even better if there was a switch to control if you can keep it awd all the time

I raced on when I had turboback,mbc,flash. he had exhaust and intake. It was completely ugly as I have bus length on him end of third gear. They are just as quick as 05 rsx-s from a roll so he is completely out of league. But their exhaust note is orgasmic.
