well, where shall i start, ok.
1. seats are a bit tight for big guys maybee 180+lbs unlike the comfortable seats that came on the six. but your *** will get use to it by the time u finish running in the engine 600miles.
2. the wing shakes a bit
3. shifting is a bit harder than the six.
4. seats are abit high.
5. the car is much more fun drivin side ways than in a straight line.
6. didn't come with a head unit or speakers.
7. does 165mph easliy, easier with out the cats..
8. bumpy ride.
9. you'll love it more and more every day.
10. most important much faster than the six, 1 to end of third neck to neck, but hit fourth and watch him shrienk in your rear view mirror. thanx to longer ratios...
and i wish if it came with a 6 speed.

 

In response to #:

10. I know your going to hear from Claudius and MichaelK on this one!

7. Did you change the ECU? Because mine cuts out at 191kph!
(speed limiter)

 

the car is stock, the only thing i did is take the cat off. i have a friend that has the evo four and it did that. and another one that bought a used car from UAE that was imported from Japan and it was goverend up to t80kph the thing he did is that he disconeted the speedo and the car didn't do that

 

Are you sure the 7 can do 165 mph with standard gearing? That's 265 kmh...

I did 220 kmh or 137 mph and I'm already near the 5000 RPM mark.

 

I think E7 topspeed is around 225km/h have also heard more than one story of how the drive shaft is weak

 

Dude, take my word for it. The E7 is faster than 225 kmh. A guesstimate would be closer to 240 kmh.

 

i am sure i've been there and done that i'll try taking a pic doing it and ill post it for u., and what do u mean by 225kph that is not true for the rs2 but in the rs maybee do to its shorter ratio because its rally prept

 

Crufty/Mr.E7,

Actually 225kph sounds a bit on the lowside (got it from EVO magazine). I've done that in my car but its close to 8000rpm (I think my rev limiter has been raised).

 

well i have no reason to lie to u, plus i've raced three evo6's tommy makinen editions, and they all lack top speed and to prove to u, why not when i get the time i'll take a pic of the speedo for u, thats a promise

 

Back on topic....

11. The turning radius is embarassingly large. Don't even try to make regular U-turns unless you've got at least 3 lanes in the opposite direction.

 

who needs a rear axle anyway.......
