The VDC screwed me up so many times i got sick of it. You can barely get moving with it on. It would actualy make me feel like im loosing control in a turn, even on ice. I can take a turn normally or even with my *** end sliding out and be in control 100%, but the second VDC kicks in, it sends the car all over the place. As where as the Evo's systems it doesnt make huge/noticeable corrections. Yes i know its AWD, but i feel more safe if i know whats going to happen and what i can expect. The VDC system was like "oh ****! gotta do this NOW!!" the Evo's system is like "ok sweet, the guy is having issues, lets help him out abit"

Now for the track since the system in the Evo is alot more advance i went with traction control off (1 push of the button) and left the rest of the systems on. Next time when i feel more comfortable ill turn all the systems off (hold for 3 secs) just to see how the car handles when it doesnt have the AYC and all that stuff.



And yet your point is invalid to me. You never tracked either cars and i doubt you owned a evo either. So until you have taken both cars on the track, your posts are useless to me, kbye

It may not be the Nurburgring, but I don't plan on driving the Nurburgring on a daily basis. The TGTT, in my opinion, mimics a lot of what I incur on a daily basis in the Z (more acceleration than top speed).

It's a valid enough source for me to form a conclusion and is, in my opinion, one of the few sources which compiles the results in an apple-to-apple comparison with limited subjectivity (the Stig is relatively consistent).

The first modification for me was an oil cooler. Without one I could barely make it home spiritedly.

I think it hit 210 on a drive from Ft. Bragg, NC to Atlanta GA in 100 degree heat.
