His exhaust was so loud when he passed me, that i thought it was unbeleivable to get such a sound from such a little car. I gave my moded G-35 Coupe all it got, and yet, this EVO was well beyond my car's ability. And the brakes of this EVO was super effective. He literally stopped on a Dime.

    However, at low RPMS, his turbo took sometime to spool up. But once it was spooled, there was no chance on thsi earth of catching that thing. Even a Corvette would have had a hard time with this particular EVO i saw.
    well that was out of left field
