@@hillclimbracingfan5821Mhhmm yes but i dont like it because why build race car that cant be driven easy and well to be still competetive,this not make much sense to me. Sure in track days this type of car can wok for some fun but in real race you need grip,much downforce as possible,best weight balance etc. its like compare Mustang and Subaru,Subaru be slways better platform for racing. Maybe this is reason why EVOs are slowly meta now.

Muß nur der Nachlauf von der HA stimmen, sonst hat's kein Zweck. Und eine Straßengurke ist immer noch was anderes als dieser brachiale Powerzwerg. Alles gute für die Zukunft.
