First AutoX in the VIII

This Sunday I was finally able to get the Evo out to AutoX and learn some of the handling characteristics prior to heading to Road Atlanta in December. Unfortunately I forgot my go pro on the way out, but a friend took a vid of one of my runs from the sidelines.

Coming from a Scion tC to the VIII is, well, there is no comparison. It is amazing in nearly stock form (only mods are a 3" tbe, and rolling on some horrible tires). Well composed, easily recoverable when going past the limit, and understeer is easily corrected with a little throttle manipulation.

Yes. I love this about the Evo. It loves using weight transfer to rotate. Very responsive to trail-braking as well.
