I think one key there is "the right driver".

I'm not trying to bag on skill, far from it. I aspire to have that level of skill but I gotta say I like how "easy" the Evo is to drive. I was about to start building my S13 240 coupe into a dedicated KaT track car but I drove it just enough to figure out how hard it was to drive fast and how hard I had to focus on not letting it kill me.

As I am in all reality still very green I have much to learn about tunning my car to do what I want, how I want, when I want it too. Even with the limitations I have I feel blessed in that I think the car is very communicative and if we are out on a back road enjoying a drive or on the back straight it feels like an extension of me. I have not been in many cars that did this as well as the Evo does and for that reason I am in NO hurry to find another platform to work with.
