Guess you need to go faster then.. It's a big learning experience on the track though, not on the street like that yahoo in the video.

Panicking and jumping on the brakes?

Hard to tell watching it on my phone.

I LOL'd at the full Mustang part. Totally thought the same thing!

Drive an X. It's pretty easy to spin an Evo with SAYC if you're acting like a hooligan.

Evo can be tail happy if you want that. I still think the Evo AWD system is a benchmark under 50K and in the 4 door world.

Will be interesting to see where and how the RS will exceed that.

We had an RS at AutoX today. It sounded a lot better than in videos. The driver was a Novice; first AX and first time in the car. Still ran a decent time, though. Ah.. electronics LOL. I'm curious of what a good driver could have done.
The car looked very composed. It seemed to be going slow, though it wasn't. If I only I could have driven it.... LOL.







There was also this (drool):
