Yeah I'm suprised how badly the Evo came off the line, it seemed liek it would barely move, its funny how much higher they seemed to regard the Evo 9 compared to the Evo 8, is it really that big of a difference?

The Evo VIII FQ-400 has a GT35 turbo. Its got INSANE lag off the line. Only when you get it up and running do you get excellent performance.


Btw.... I WANT MORE ON THE EVO IX!!!!!

I hate how that video stops just when its abotu to get good.

Yeah, it's the one where the Evo FQ400 races the Monaro and then it cuts off right when it's going to talk about the IX



I'm sure someone will know the real answer....

It's not from Top Gear; it's from Jeremy Clarkson's "Heaven and Hell" DVD.

There was a thread about this not too long ago...

Anyway, the file is easily found on bittorrent if you don't feel like paying for the actual disc.
