But at the track where you are asking it to do so much more at the limit, the car is heavy, it understeers like a son-of-a-biatch, the brakes are inadequate, and 271 - 286 crank hp (depending on year and model) just aren't enough to move a 3250 lb. car down a long straight.

Fortunately, compared to most cars out there, an EVO is pretty cheap to modify into a track monster. I'd do suspension work and track pads first, then R-compounds, then power mods.

keep in mind it's an 06, so it has the LS diff in the front which helps against the understeer a lil.
