If we are talking about best all around Evo wouldn't that have to include being able to take it on tight mountain roads? If we include that then I think that everything with even 450whp is pretty much out of the game.

I would nominate my car but I don't plan on ever upgrading the turbo, so I'd never be able to hang with the 400Whp plus crew.

Ok and I hate to be the grinch here, but perhaps this thread should be a little bit more detailed. What exactly is the author of this thread looking for, I noticed he commented that Dave Buschur's cars where a little bit heavy on the power side, huh . We are talking about the the ultimate EVO right?

Agreed. Greastest all around evo should go something like this:

Stock Motor with Stage IV bolt ons (Cams etc....)
Stock ECU w/EcuFlash
Stock Based Turbo like EvoGreen or TME 6.5RS
Robispec Suspension setup
Stock Interior with basic weight reduction
Upgraded Brakes
with around 400-450whp on race gas with equal torque

Someone who has proven themselves to be competitive on the track, autocross, drag strip.

Basically a budget setup that anybody can duplicate without taking out a second mortage on their house.

I'm still partial to this puppy as an enduring example of superb all-arounder Evo, and I should have bought it when it went up for sale on eBay. Some lucky owner is well, lucky.



Sparco Apex'i FTW.

Best,
Adam

Again we are talking all arounders, no a car that is good at one thing. Let me here 'em.

^^ I will have to second that, runs 9 sec, has ac full interior, drives around town, you cant beat that actually hard to beat with any other car out there. Unless you pay 70000 like a Z06 then the mods it takes to run 9 sec after that.

I nominate my bone stock Evolution IX SE. It's good enough that I honestly don't need anything done to it at the moment.

It has good power, good powerband, it's a good daily driver, good on the auto-x, road race, and drag strip. I think it's a little lacking in the dyno queen category, but it still does in a Subby WRX or Civic SI. So I'm happy.

Oh, and did I mention reliability and the one thing those cars don't have? Warranty. That's right. I didn't fart on my seats
