hey, that was cool.....

any info on the cars our just something you found? The STI wasnt really giving it all huh? Wat i liked is how you can "hear" the difference in setups and the body dynamic ranges of the cars when comparing the fwd to the awd....

the evo,sti hardlt broke any tires while the turbo neon was very noisy and had to give more effort.

No I got this off of 350zmotoring.com

It seemed like the SRT-4 was trying real hard and the only time he caught the Evo and Sti was on the straights.

the sti footage WAS in the car and the evo was outside, which would be better able to pick-up the tire noise....

dude, im not bashing on your turbo neon but it is truly not designed dynamically to handle body roll and stability as the awd sti and evo. (even with a LSD) Not saying that it cant be made to handle as well but from a physics point of view.......

question, how many pounds your pushing if you dont mind me asking? also, good luck on your purchase!!

If i could give you advice it would be to try to find one locally through a dealer so you can get some kind of warranty of guarantee....i wouldnt get a car that has already been raced by another person...

good luck non the less......
