Post Car handles....

like a madman. I have only owned the Evo for about 3 months and am just now really getting to test its ablility...AWESOME. Accidentally drifted this afternoon around a 90 degree turn (private property- don't worry I'm no idiot). I was out runnin around our warehouse property for the company I work for...empty lot with one warehouse, parking lot with concrete/grass divider (like an oval track) Anyway, I'm just testing the turns a little when I hit full boost in 2nd mid-corner and start to oversteer....bad....directly toward the curb. Letting out of the gas and countersteering the car virtually corrects itself....I AWD!!

Disclaimer: For those who choose not to read- Private property = closed course= no public vehicles (or any vehicles other than mine for that matter.)= No public risk. Thank you.

I know exactly how you feel. As soon as the break in was over I began to play with the car and could not belive the grip level and balance. Ive scared the **** out of all my family and friends already and now its not as much fun cause now they all just trust it and know what it can do. Dont get me wrong, its still a blast for me in the drivers seat, its just not as much of the scaring your friends and family ****less kind of fun.
