Here’s my fastest lap EVER at Virginia International Raceway

[@SpoonStyleS2K]

2:02 is absolutely insane for a street car! My PB is a 2:13 in my S2000 and that's on slicks! Having all that extra horsepower really helps cutting down your lap time at VIR because of the straights!

[@anonymous5072]

And being AWD

[@mahatmagandification]

@@anonymous5072nah, AWD doesn’t really matter, might even be faster without it.

[@TheOnlyNaderNate]

@@mahatmagandification false, awd helps correct both under and oversteer alowing for faster cornering. So yes it dose matter.

[@mahatmagandification]

@@TheOnlyNaderNate No, not really. My Audi TT would be faster around the track in a fwd only configuration due to weight. There’s a reason why the fastest road course cars in the world (F1) aren’t awd.

[@TheOnlyNaderNate]

@mahatmagandification the main reason f1 cars don't use awd is the complexity in the systems and weight savings. Yes when your in a super light f1 car where you have an insane amount of downforce and your 2 cm off the ground rwd is probably the best option. But your nuts if you think the same driver will run a faster time in a tt with fwd I'm sorry. My haldex system is legit fwd until it needs to be awd. I can rip corners like crazy without working about oversteer, and when I understeer my rear kicks in. Best of both worlds. The maybe 100 to 200 lbs that I would save if the system wasn't in my car would make no difference.

[@sums6969]

Controlling an oversteer with ease at 100mph hoooooly shit

Not oversteer in a awd it’s a slide

[@philonetic321]

@@lordbutler482 It's a power-oversteer. It's a form of oversteer and drift.

[@philonetic321]

@@di_spencer7372 Subaru has the best off-road AWD system but I never liked it for exactly the reason you describe. The independent systems on some models take away all natural feeling with the torque so you've no idea when it's about to break loose, then it feels like it wants to throw the nose into everything once it does. Great for rally, I'm sure.

[@mikedrop4421]

People don't really understand what a weapon an Evo with 400-450whp is. They don't need a massive turbo for that kinda power so there's very little lag and the power comes on early and while not a drag monster 450hp is an 11 second car with a full interior.

[@toxicmasculinity7870]

But is that eleven seconds at a dig or a roll? O_o

[@HAMlLTON]

should be a dig because of awd. 450whp is more than double stock

[@chandlerbraaten847]

I agree. Everyone thinks you need 800-900 horsepower for a fast car but most have never rode in a car with 400-450 wheel. My 05 STi makes 400 and people get out thinking its more because they don't expect it when you get on the power early and tear out of a corner. AWD cars are awesome.

[@oni5909]

the car weighs lighter than my e46 m3 too which is wild if it has the weight ratio of mmy car tho then it’s be perfect the car has a 60/40 ratio but the way it’s designed when it turns it’s supposed to be closer to 50/50 which is crazy

[@wrth]

Evos are incredible drivers cars. Keep it at upper rev range and the turbo is always active no lag

Right in my backyard, I drive there all the time lol. It’s a track to die for, it drives pretty well with most cars, it’s just very easy to overshoot on your first few laps.
