Vid: WRC driver Gilles Panizzi tests out the EVO VIII MR

Realplayer streams.

Check out the fancy foot work!

This shows what a STOCK EVO VIII MR can do. For those who think EVOs and STis are just fancy ricers, I dare you to watch this and say the same with a straight face.

That vid shows what a EVO can do, which proves it's no "POS ricer" as some ignorant board members seem to think.

I hope you didn't mean that a professional racer and drive any are like that.

Try that with a ricer Civic.

definitely...I can't imagine doing that with a Civic, a 350Z, or anything out in the current market. The MR should be a nice edition to the Evo line up.

Unfortunately because of the whole F&F crowd, the evo has become more of a "ricer" mobile than anything. Even though I'm 25 and love performance cars, you won't see me buying it.

My good friend has an Evo. I know what it's capable of and I get beaten by him every time at AutoX, but it's a POS inside, the exterior looks WAY too boy racer and overall his car has been very unreliable so far.

But it does have amazing potential and is a blast to drive fast.
