The wheels on the red VIII might be bad, but they're not HALF as bad as those wheels on the grean VII. I think they're even worse than the wing, if you can believe that!

Does anyone read FHM?

There's an article in the back of it about the Evo 7

Lemme get it............

Ok.......key points


* If you would want to replicate the 2F2F Evo 7's artwork on your car, it would cost you roughly $20,000. If you got a minor ding in the paint or a fender bender, you would have to redo the ENTIRE paint job

* Producers wanted a 2002 Evo so much, they had one overnighted from Japan. The left the interior alone and got to work on the exterior

* The car in this movie is pumping out 280 ho, goes 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, and quarter-mile time is 13.8 seconds.

*Also in the movie, they have a 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T with 425 hp (which dies) and a 1969 Yenko Camaro, which is one of only 202 ever made. The Yenko has 450 hp (that also dies)

That's pretty much it regarding the article

That's because you can overnight anything you need from Japan! But you need to pronounce it "Jah-pahn"

Ha! Who cares about that! Typical US car mag testing. Even some of the worst brakes around can do ok in such a meaningless test.

It is important to know how well it stops the tenth time from 200 to 0 km/h, having done all stops within a short time. Then you can see if the brakes hold up or not.
