Just because you don't know how to, doesn't mean it can't be done. Before this can be done the EVO's camber alignment needs to be setup in the more aggressive setting. Here are a few ways:
1. Lift throttle oversteer
2. Scandanavian flick
3. Weight shifting
4. Handbrake
5. Tire pressure ...

So if I was on a freeway taking a turn at 90mph a Z06 could take it at a higher mph or better...Dam I guess I am just waiting for someone to say EVO lol..I guess ZO6 it is..maybe I need to go test drive a ZO6 to see for myself hahaha

you shouldn't compare steady state speeds with a fr cars. a front biased awd car will never be able to sustain the same steady state cornering speeds as a 50 50 rear driver. cars like the rx7 the z06 the m3 all will have higher steady state speeds. how awd cars that are front biased compete is with later braking, trail braking and earlier corner exit acceleration and more exit grip.

so in short the driving styles are different, granted that any good driver will trail brake. but just so you know you shouldn't be comparing that way. you can try to compare corner exit speeds... that might tell you more.

That and its much more difficult to drive the z06. The evo is just TOO easy to drive.

ever heard of the spec c? outhandle the evo is all relative... i love my evo but i know a spec c can kick my evos ***... i know if i get muellerized i'll wipe up the spec c. it's all on comparing similar things, the sti's lacks in stock form don't determine its capacity or potential. also... the sti is still awd which still puts it in a place where it suffers in steady state cornering.
