Way to make someone feel welcome. Welcome aboard.

I take it that BC stands for Britich Columbia?

In the article, it says

"The Evolution is the car that will give you the time of your life."

And that's exactly what I think.

Claud, sorry if you've already answered this elsewhere but have you gotten a chance to thoroughly drive a VII? If so, how do you think it stacked up to your TME?

The 7 RS I drove was a little better hadling, much stiffer bodyshell and slightly less hard accelerating than my TME. But that might be an impression: the 7 starts going a little earlier.

I did indeed post a thread when I test drove the 7 RS.

What do you mean by "the 7 starts going a little earlier"?

Thanks

I mean that the turbo spools up a little better and starts pushing earlier.

I noticed that too...it also felt big(overall size of the car) to me but then again it might be just the restyling of the interior. The spool up is probably quicker due the turbine change...Claud, yours comes with the titanium turbine right? Overall very nice..just felt too large for me.

Yes, the TMEs come with a titanium turbine wheel.

Since the VII's interior is similar to ours...for such a small car it's pretty damn roomy imo. I don't exactly have another Evo to use as a basis of comparison, but I'd venture to guess they made much better use of space on the interior of the VII just from pics alone.
