Let me correct that, every Honda they've built has blown up, with the exception being the FIT they built for the TV show last time, but that was turbocharged.

I hope they didn't can that 4g63....it would really, really be bad for them.
LOL, ummm you need to do a bit of research son....Skunk2 has set most of the records in the NA Honda world (both drag and road course)...The Evo is super fast and super solid...

Where can I get one of those PWR radiators that they got on that evo? That one has the top radiator hose on the opposite side of the filler cap, far from the exhaust manifold, where the stock airfilter inlet goes! I need one of those!

Thats an EVO V radiator that PWR makes. I don't believe its on their website yet so you'll have to call up and ask for it specifically.

this car, to say the least, is an animal.

Let see some pics of the turbo setup... I was checking out PeakBoost's products, and I would like to see how it looks on the EVO.

Sure thing, son. I've read about more Honda's being blown up by Skunk 2 than I've read about not, son.

Doesn't mean they didn't set records or can't build a solid car...they've just blown a lot of stuff up....I guess pushing the limit so hard has its downfalls....son.

It just seems that Im always reading about one time or another where a Honda got its corked popped. If they did that to the Evo...I'd $hit.

...do you think AMS or Buschur have popped a motor or two? of course they have, its all part of the sport. If you aren't breaking something you're doing it wrong. lol

IXmr, of course. I find it more amusing that I have a half dozen magazines that all contain sentences that have the words "Skunk2----Honda-----Blew Up" in the same sentence.

Once again, not a dig on the guys. Before I knew their extended record, it seemed they were pretty good at blowing stuff up.

I found this link to a bunch of pics of all three cars. They killed that poor MINI visually, but asside from looks I think it will perform very well. I traded my 06 Cooper S in for the EVO & can say that they drive & handle great. Mine only had 190whp & I'd guess this one will have about 400whp with a BMW inspired (upgraded) suspension. I think the EVO has this one, but I think you guys may be underestimating the MINI. I've never driven a Ford that Didn't handle like a bowl of jello, so I doubt the Focus has a chance even if it has tons of power.
