I would have to suggest that they Evo may have lacked the good driver mod. Those are tricky to launch w/ AWD but when they do, they launch like a bat out of hell. You shouldn't have took the launch. If the driver wasnt real good then that might explain why it was so even. Dont get me wrong, good race but they are quick and you are only lightely modded so I dont see you hanging w/ one w/ an equal driver.

He probably wasn't the best driver. I raced one and only lost by a car. AWD sucks for us RWD guys.

You know us AWD guys would like to be able to go from a roll every now and then, so it stinks for us sometimes to. lol

Yeah, and some of us RWD domestic guys would like to the Turbo'd everyonce in a while. lol

Obviously, these are two different beasts. Its all personal preference. If u want to be able to catch a LS1 on the highway and show him your taillights, AWD might not be for you. If you want to have a supergood handling car that is tons of fun to drive, AWD is for you.

My roomate has a WRX, and although not as fast as the EVO they are a whole different driving experience compared to RWD V8's

I had never ridden in a AWD turbo car before, and let me tell you. Its AWESOME! Hes only putting 190awhp to the ground, but that thing launches like its got 350!
