dont you just love it when as you are coming out of a corner and floor it the back end seems to dig in and rocket you out of the bend.

Ade, you cant beat that feeling of powering in / out of a bend in an EVO

Its like Clarkson says, you have to be a lunatic to find its limits

Oh and anything that wont do over 155 mph is a NO NO !!
it stilll stacks up pretty well - and don't forget the torque.......


I can bypass the limiter as long as I go through 155 in fifth


Should go on to about 180 then, which I intend to try later in the year when I go abroad
