Tiff probably would, he is a wild man for over steer. sometime look for his Ford Puma car of the year video clip. It is absolutely wild what that guy can do. Jeremy and 1 other guy where afraid to get in the car with him, and Jeremy is a damn fine driver in his own right.

Road & Track Evo vs STi
The new R&T has Sti vs Evo. Both posted nearly identical 0-60 and 1/4 mile times:
Evo 0-60: 4.8
1/4 mi: 13.4@103.0
Slalom 68.9
Skidpad 0.88
60-0 108 ft
STi 0-60: 4.9
1/4 mi: 13.3@103.0
Slalom 68.4
Skidpad 0.88
60-0 111 ft
Evo won Performance Ratings, STi won Subjective and Evo won in price so overall the EVO was the winner. I think the STi gearing hurts it's acceleration times, but then again it is not a drag car.

Someone referred to the Evo as a "polished turd" and asked if anyone thought that thing would be a classic in 50 years. I almost pissed myself when I read that. Anyone here ever been in a late model Camaro? Classic in 50 years? Heh.
Me? I love my Evo.
