Which has no ABS- AYC for an example, only electronically controlled equipment which you personally interact are the ACD and the throttle pedal.
No brake booster nothing. it is really what you feel that is what you get.

so i am guessing it is all about the car itself how it is set up, and how is yourdriving style match with the nannies, so they are hold you back or help you...
It may be worth saying that some of us prefer feel, experience, challenge, and fun to going as fast as possible. Otherwise I'd want a GTR. I have a blast driving Miatas, Neons, and anything else I can get my hands on. Even electric go karts at our local indoor spot.
I can always pull the ABS fuse out of my Evo.....😁

Moving on...
Are you calling yourself a babbling idiot? I'm so used to people instantly getting their backs up on Evom that I'm amazed someone would admit that, not that I think you're a babbling idiot.

This might be the most ridiculous thread in the history of EvoM.

It can basically be summed up as follows:

Is it an Evo? No, well Ford should make it exactly like the Evo was 10 years ago.

Lets just hope it is as good as the Evo that was made one year ago, and better than the STI and Golf R.

It looks like Subaru is upping their game. The 2017 Impreza looks great and it sounds like they are finally going to retire the EJ engine.

Thank ****ing god. I actually hope they aren't all direct competitors. I like the fact that the Golf R isn't as wild and crazy as the STI, or the Focus RS.

I may actually be interested in a subie if the FA proves to be a solid motor.

Ugh, why cant they just use a spring on strut like the rest of the world. That screws over SCCA ST and SP class guys cause you cant change spring location. Mustang and Camaro run into the same issue, and this spring setup ends up having a horrendous motion ratio.

It's 80 pages, with the last 20 or so being people complaining about a car that hasn't been released yet.

And it's sad, not said.
