Dude... It's quite the car.

WOW. I thought the RA had some kick, but after driving the Evo, it's very tame.

Sure, it's loud, rides pretty rough and it's certainly a bit more expensive... but I gotta admit, I want one pretty bad now!

important lesson learned here: hot girls will laugh at guys who don't know how to handle their sticks

if you thought driving a stock evo was a wake up call find a modified evo and you''ll $hit in your pants. the feeling is like going through a tunnel vision.

Evo was my first manual. The day I learned manual was the worst day of my life. However, i can drive hondas like a piece of cake

You thought it was loud? Man mine was quiet as a hybrid at a stop sign.

You should hear how they sound at WOT with 3in, no cat, and big cams. I can barely stay in the room when they tune my car on the dyno it's so loud.

I actually stalled the EVO in the lot when I traded my WRX...pretty embarrassing.
