If need be it will put all power to just one wheel. Thats why they call the evo's at my local track, a "cheater car". But god damn, this car is amazing in the snow. I got back from Afghanistan on Feb 28th last year and didnt bother putting winter tires on the car (first time it seen a winter). So i had pretty close to bald stock summer performance tires on. Even with a good foot or two of snow and driving on the highway, watching all the other cars go into the ditch. The Evo just smiled and kept going.

That is why its 40k and its well worth it. As well as the Evo holds value, unlike the Z. I lost 20k in value in 8 months on the Z. Assuming my engine wasnt blown with almost a year and half and twice as many km's on it. I would only loose about 5k in value on the car.

Who said I never drove the car? I've driven Evo's with 400 WHP. They are stupid fast and they corner very well (my Nismo handles better, though obviously not in bad weather) but the car itself is just too plain.

At the end of the day it's really just a souped up $15K Lancer. Yes, the performance is awesome, but it doesn't "push my buttons" like a true sports coupe does.

If the car were closer to $30K I would be all over it. At $40K+, I looked elsewhere. Just my opinion and personal taste. Not hating on the car.
