10 things I hate about Evo
So what you are saying is:
You want a normally aspirated car, ideally with a racing clutch, that has over-assisted power steering and skinny ties to avoid tram lining and bump steer. At the same time you want it to be super light with stiffer sway bars and a low center of gravity for faster transitions.
When you figure out how to cross a Lotus Elise and a Lincoln Town Car let me know.
Get a grip! All cars are a compromise. It is a mater of finding a car that is the best compromise for you.

You don't even own an Evo. What are you talking about?

"C'mon Napolean you and i both know im training to fight in a cage match."
After I sell this car, I'm going to find an NSX Zanardi Edition. If I can't find one, I'll settle for a 360 Modena.
Those are the only 2 cars I would consider to be a step up from the Evo. The Evo is good for what it is, but it's not making any better as a driver. I rely too much on the AWD and turbo to sort out the grip for me. No finesse involved.
It's by far one of the best cars I have ever owned. Probably one of the fastest stock cars ever built. Gotta respect it for that.
But I'm moving on. It's not fun to drive it any more. I can start noticing that the car is making me lose the ability to feel the limit of the car and just let the AWD do the work.

that's if you can actually "TURN" that rediculously heavy steering wheel...
