What do you think is the Evo's natural environment
 
So we use our Evo's for

Drag Racing
Road Course
Rally
Street Driving
Auto X

But where is it that your Evo really shines or what do you think Evos are really made for.

Please post Pics if you got them.

the viii and ix are for road racing due to the giant front calipers...dirt tires only come in 16" and smaller sizes. the x is for getting groceries.

Good job! The evo X has bigger brakes than the 8 and 9.

the 7 to10 are more I think for track use and the older ones where better rally cars... and they all make good drag cars {thumbup}

if you actually rallied a stock evo you would most likely die, you flip an evo and its totaled and your most likely hurt in some way, you flip a rally evo you flip it back over and keep going. you flip a stock evo at 90mph multiple times down a hillside, you die and your car explodes, you flip a rally evo in the same way and you have a sore neck.
that being said, the evo platform i think is most oriented towards rally its awd, tough, and can perform good in pretty much any situation. not dry track performance, thats for rwd 2 seaters. not drag racing, thats for rednecks and crappy cars. not street racing, cause thats for rusty crx's and illegal immigrants.
its good for auto x, but just like road racing, its not the ideal platform.
and not so much for just driving around normally, it works well for it, but you can do that in a 5000 dollar honda just as well.
so if i had to say something id say rally.
