I hope you don't mind that I added a choice to the poll....since the way I learned about the Evo was not included in the original list.

Wow, I can't believe you think the 2nd movie was better.

GT1 and GT2 got me into the EVO.

Yo SC,

What's "Best Motoring/ Options Videos"? I kinda can't relate. If I were to hazzard a guess is it like "Getaway in Stockholm"? If I may make a request could you rename and add a few more options?

Video Games (Grand Turismo Series)
TV (Speed Channel) - as I dont live in the US I don't get this.

Prior to the Evo I drove a JZA80 TT 6-sp, or known more commonly as a Supra. Super sexy lines, flawless Hollinger 6, wonderful powerplant, plenty of looks. BUT. You couldnt see **** out of it, the stock TT system tried to kill me, braked like the Titanic and it handled like the fackin' Exxon Valdez!

I needed a car that could turn quickly and predictably, as well as hold its own in a straight line. Someone recommended that I go for a WRC homogolated car, which left only 2 options: a WRX STi or an Evo. Needless to say I chose the Evo because I know how to work with it. Dont know squat about the Boxr powerplants and their sensitivities.

I saw it in a Jackie Chan movie once and said "Cool". But I had no idea what an Evo was all about till I drove one. Yeah I knew the stats, but that didn't really convey what this car is all about.

It started with booze, then marijuana, then crack, heroine...and now evo's...

Seriously though , I've always been a hi-po car addict and was consistently pissed to see cars like the jdm-specs and euro-spec m-series offering more than we ever got here.

The wrx was a good start, the Evo is better, and hopefully we will get an unadulterated version

evolutionm.net)
