The first time my EVO scared the hell out of me was when I finally got the 1-2 NLS correct. When it happened, it seemed like I was in the Matrix as I was so nervous and surprised that I totally forgot how to shift normally into 3rd and so I just pinged off the rev limiter for about 10 seconds as I did not know what the next step was.

 

Some spirited mountain driving on a fresh set of hankook ventus v12 evo... (HORRIBLE tires btw) took a turn a little too quick, slid sideways off the road... Luckily it was road --> 1 inch drop --> dirt/grass. Only damage was blew a tire off the bead

 

Went to pull out onto a busy main street and punched the throttle as there was a car approaching fast caused the whole back end to swing out had me sideways pretty much facing the side street i had just pulled out of needless to say i corrected myself and was pretty surprised how quickly my EVO corrected itself

 

hopefully in a few days when I get into 30lbs of boost or close to it with my new 3586!!

 

lol. agreed.

 

3rd day I had the car and first time at the strip with it. Twisted the output shaft on the trans and blew up the diff in the T-case.

Went into a cold sweat knowing how much that was going to cost me

 

I haven't scared myself on the street yet...track is a different story.

 

Same here. My evo's first winter. On stock tires and it began to snow. I saw traffic light goes from yellow then red. So, I step on the brake to gradually slow down and anticipating a full stop at the line (I am at speed limit of about 45 mph). I see the cars on the stop started to go . OMG, my car slides...pass thru the traffic light and stop on the other side of the light. . I look into the rear view mirror and was so happy no one crash on me. Then, one night at work in Philly, it snowed and I was not aware it will snow. So, I left my car in the parking lot and took a taxi going home after weighing the consequence. Explaining that to my wife scared me too ha ha ha. She says I love my car so much..told her it will be more expensive if I crashed it...

 

My evo hasn't scared me..but I've scared my self ...3 deep on a local back road...forgot I should have my wheels pointed where i want to go before hitting the top of a crest..I was sliding sideways facing the guard rail then snapped the other direction facing the canyon wall. Car did a good job considering I messed up and was still able to recover.

lets face it the evo is one of the hardest car's to crash.

 

^Truth

 

First time driving the car without ABS. Never realized how well it worked

 

This. But I only have 615 hp. It must be the torque.

Launched from a stop turning right to rotate the car a bit. Ended up rotating more then I thought it would, weight shifted to the opposite side and the back end slid right a little. Felt the RR dip off the pavement, grabbed second gear real quick and powered out of it. Scary moment. I never really got scared by the cars abilities more confidence then anything. Ill never cross that limit of the car again lol

 

I used to do that for fun, go full throttle into a left turn. It doesn't take much for the car to start rotating when it hits boost.

Scariest moment for me was back in '04 going down a dirt road and going full throttle going over a concrete bridge that has a slight drop at the end and when I hit the dirt, the car went 180* onto the other side of the road. Tore some of the tabs off the lip and oil cooler duct. Left some weeds and grass between my tires and wheels as well. Nothing major but could have been worse.

 

when i seen the bluelights behind me about 3hrs after buying my evo
