I thought the Evo had a 50-50 torque split and under loss of traction power is fed to the front wheels which make it more of a FWD

now you can have your cake and eat it to. RMR took a new evo 9 and turned it into a rwd drift machine that does sick burn outs.

if you go to SCLC.NET
CLICK FORUMS
CLICK EVOLUTION

there is a vid of the car drifting around a parking lot. i't really awesome.

Yeah, I sometimes miss the 4000 rpm launch on Mickey's with 4.30 gears in my old Cobra...but on the other hand that still only got me 1.71 60 foot times.

i had a turbo 240sx and a 350z and its not the launches i miissed, because the evo has that down to a science. its the drifting, the Z was a sick drift car with so much torque yet was easy to control and go completly sideways across a whole parking lot. i can only dream of drifting the distances i used to. in the evo i can only drift in 1st gear and only half the distances i used to do!
