    Awesome video I just found. Not sure if it has been posted yet. Pretty let down by the power of the new Evo's... seems the new STI just walks away down the straights once he gets a break.

    Very impressive. Caught me by surprise. Don't judge the 2008 by its cover.

    How much of that has to do with the Driver though? Everything I have ever read said that the Evo IX was faster around a track that any of the previous STIs. The fact that the Evo IX in this ended up in 4th place may say something. Especially considering that the older STI was still in 2nd by the end.

    I've seen some lap times from previous events and it seems the STI seems to do better at that track than evo's.

    Impressive to say the least. I suppose those silly engineers really did know what they were talking about when they said they wanted to make the STI faster 'round a track.

    It might have an awful tail lights, but at least you can give people ample time to look at them on the track.

    I think the drift king can win in any of those cars. I don't think it's the new cars as much as it is the driver. Tsuchiya almost always wins all the races they do on the TV show he's in.
