P/S: race car never wore aftermarket parts, even the chassis.

Well, even the pink lady from Thailand also modified his silvia to FR only, but not 4WD for the drag open in sepang, who which he already win a lot of times… So which are good or wrong? What i know, if u want to drive safe, take the original 4WD 1. If u want to race take the RS version, which is strip down version.. Not all 4WD are the best, Even ferrari, 350Z, NSX also using FR or MR version..

I think the biggest improvement is the dual clutch gearbox. This will make the car really fast.

Whenever i test drive a car, I always try out the brakes or ABS first. very easy, just emergency brake the car and approximate how much G-load you're getting. I can conclude one thing, not all ABS are the same, some weak ones are lancer (not the evo), yaris and magna. The strong ones, MX5 and Mazda3.

My car does not have ABS so I can test the raw stopping power of my tires. Mind you, just because a car has ABS, it does not mean it will always be more effective in stopping. I almost crash a car ones because I brake late thinking that it was normal brakes, the ABS was interfering.

On a standing start (ie. 1/4 mile), power output on par, no way the AWDer will loose to the FWDer (less obvious with a RWDer). The AWDer will still hold an advantage even at a significant power deficit. I recall out dragging a Dodge Viper to the 1/8mile marker (most stoplight races are only that long), with my slightly modified 300hp 4G63T AWD. Of course by the end of the 1/4mile, i was breathing in Viper exhaust.

The situation is reversed on the highway. You never race anyone on the highway with an AWD unless your AWD has some fancy auto-decoupler for the centre differential leaving it either FWD or RWD.

At the end of the day, you are still a modified Wira, he is an original Evo. I would very much prefer an original EVO.

For those who think that they are good drivers, opt for the stripped down RS version which would have eliminated some of the features as well as shed some weight to improve its performance.

Even with new technology, the only way to make the road safer is by driving safely and carefully.

Agree with you, the car handling's will improve with all these systems, but the driving experience would be dampened. I can feel the difference, based on some different normal cars I drive regularly :p

One, it was Fifth Gear who did the shoot out between an Evo 6 and an Evo 9.

Two, the conclusion was that the Evo 6 was faster around the track and the Evo 9 was more of a hoon to drive, since it likes to go sideways so much.

Like last time Top gear compare a Evo6 with a Evo9. In track time, handling n cornering Evo6 win over the Evo9. But for drag Evo 9 win coz of 6-speed manual.. So the conclusion, evo 6 still win da day for excitement, cornering and handling, coz evo6 has less system compare to evo9, so the driver control most of the car then the system overtake.. For a racer, handling n controlling the car is more important then the lousy system. That why in Rally they are using more basic, light, simple n tough system.. Compare to commercial which is heavy and a lot of safety feature.. Boring..

but improvement of ABS name as Sport ABS??

mayb next time call racing ABS.. (^Q^)

btw, using the gear to transmit torsion to rear wheel, would it be all 4 wheel having same speed or torque??

since the energy may loss during gear transmission… ???
