Evo owner discovering new curiousity

I'm glad to see an EVO owner considering an RX7 and not the other way around. No offense to EVO's but they not the same sort of car as an RX7. They're both fast, they both have plenty of engineering and technological wizardry in their design, but the RX7 is a purer drivers car.

I find RX7's more rewarding to drive because there's a greater percentage of drivers skill included in the cars performance envelope. An EVO almost treats the driver like a handicap or a passenger and not an equal partner. That's just my opinion though.

Ah yes and no, while it does have a ton of computer wizardry, you still have to be a good driver to get the best out of it like with any car. I do however think evos make bad drivers much better than they really are.

Yeah not saying its all car. EVO's are very competitive in the highest levels of Time Attack racing these days (as FD's still are) but when they compete, they still need world class drivers behind the wheel to win.
