not really. plenty of cars with quick ratio racks have a turning circle better than a mega cab dodge ram.

Occasionally I have to turn around at the end of my road (with no cul-de-sac) before I had to mount both sidewalks to complete the turn around. I have found a new, more exciting way to pull this off...accelerate to 25 mph, quick Scandinavian-Flick from right-to-left, yank the parking brake to fully rotate the car around, then give it some gas, and grip-n-go. By they way I live in a new construction neighborhood with no houses in it, so Im not risking anyones safety beside my own

Turning radius is wide. I usually swing out then in but usually end up doing a 3point, but I've gotten used to it. Also it could be me but does the turning seem better the faster you are going (like 5mph vs 10mph)

When I drive people and have to make a u-turn or park, they always complain and tell me I have a horrible turning radius, like I don't already know that. Next time, I'm making them walk. Their turning radius on foot will be way better than the Evo.

My S2000 had the best turning radius IMO.

Just do what the Evo is supposed to do, 2-step at a stoplight with the steering wheel turned in the desired direction and do a tight cyclone u-turn.

unfotunately because of the wide tires the evo's turning radius is bad. but there is a work around for that.

yeah sort of, wide tires+transverse mount engine transmission = wide turning radius any tighter and the wheels would rub the accessory belt or the transmission housing

Some people have reported a tighter radius after installing the Perrin PSRS +caster set, not the zero offset version, the caster version.
