Greatest all around evo currently out there?

OK...everyone currently out there in the US. Need suggestions for the greatest all arounders. Can be shop car or private. No negative comments, only nominees. Has to be good at road course, drag, dyno(both power and power band), reliable, look good, well crafted, and have some level of good driveability retained as a street car. Again we are talking all arounders, no a car that is good at one thing. Let me here 'em.

Not race cars. No time attack cars as they are race cars. Needs to be a real street car that is also very good on the track.

To me a street car MUST have A/C we don't test for emissions, so I don't care about that.

The fastest car with A/C that I know is Dan Buschurs full interior and A/C it runs 9.80's@146mph+.

A/C is a plus. Emissions does also factor in. Fastest in a straight line is only one part of the whole. Needs to be fast around a course too.

If its a car thats not commonly known, post some brief details on why its the best

I would definitely take out every single drag evo out there. The title clearly states best "all around" evo. Drag cars are just meant to go straight. I vote for cars like nils' or Warrtalon's. Fast on the straight and turns.

The age of drag is OVER (flamesuit on!)

Ya those high HP drag cars might be nice in a straight line but i'm sure a 20g9lt would be much more fun on a road coarse/DD

I personally feel that the best all arounders (keeping in mind performance is a big part of this) have mid 400 to mid 500 whp. Any more than that, and power band really takes a beating

Well...you need to figure out a point system for each category (performance, looks, functionality..etc)..and assign judges...anyone can think whatever they want...you and me can not just take one persons opinion in that matter cause humans ARE biased...and by the way...this could inflate to a 50 pages of argument and at the end people will agree to disagree.

Just saving you some time...cheers

It's all relative I guess. There are NO roadcourses here within 2.5 hours from my house and then it's the next state for any more. Driver is by far the most important factor in a roadcourse car. Many people myself included always felt the 2.3 with T3/35R was the best combo drag/roadcourse.......good luck with your poll.

Here are some good comparisons for all around events Evo's vs the rest of the world: LOTS of evom guys in here, and I would pick ANY of them. They did great in ALL AROUND events.

Lots of photos of them also.
