I think you'll find that was on country roads with blind corners and I didn't exceed the 60mph speed limit.............I was also being responsible and was letting my 14 year old nephew drive as I was too stoned to continue.....
As for blowing you away.........I know you like me but I don't swing that way......infact I meant strapping a load of C4 to that rather strange looking backbox you have......you know, the one that looks like it came off the back of a DTM trail bike......

Alan, I prefer the Evos for a strictly fun car because the steering is nicer (not tried Spec C), the front end is very planted, engine is strong and easily stroked, turbo and intercooler are in the right place, stock turbo and intercooler are quite decent so results from minimal mods are excellent, and the times around many tracks are astonishing which shows the excellent performance off well. For a day to day car I prefer German stuff.

Evo's are awesome cars! 
Pit a GT against a Spec c and the difference in capabilities are negliable.... the decision on which variant is better is certainly split (against these specific models). Personally, I find the ability to manually change the centre diff settings more manually (if you know what I mean) then the Evo (with it's 3 mode system)make the Spec C more of an exciting drive.

Shaun.

Been in an MR320 (Evo 9) and its just..... well boring in comparison.
Its tyres suck, get heat in them and they go right off, tail goes all over the place, but a nice overall package as cars come, the recaro's are excellent.
