Agreed. Its also nice to see another V8 fan who shows Evos interest. I don't feel so alone now.

The FQ400 came pretty close or reached 175mph, but that's not a factory car. Some guy here went almost 200mph in his Evo VIII, but that car is modded. I forgot his screen name, but I'm pretty sure you guys can search and find him.

Also Norris Designs of the U.K. has an Evo VII that went 200mph. I'm pretty sure his current Evo IX went faster than that. But these are modded cars, so they don't really count.

notice I said slow you can bring the c6 into this, I think the MR will do fine at 40k. Interesting you bought an evo and care about the top speed of a car.

Yeah, that's like buying an old muscle car and caring about the handling of the it.
