If you're referring to the Evo7, I noticed the same thing. It's lighter than most of the cars out there and has some serious turbo management upgrades at the very least. With a skilled driver, this ride is very competitive in a rally setting even in comparison to newer models.
What were the pace notes for that "Hand brake right into quadruple hairpin, single track, rocker smasher, never open right doors again, into drum on right" corner?
@@Jake-tl6hj No surprise. It's the most competitive rally car that doesn't have to built from a scratch, meaning lots of them are destroyed in accidents, or the bodyshell accumulates so much damage through rally driving you that at some point you can't set geometry anymore.
Prices are crazy, glad I bought mine 8 years ago. Driving them is like this video X2. Every trip is finished with a grin. Unless its a long trip because no cruise control lol
The Evo's or Impreza's AWD systems would have had that course Samir was on for brunch, their diffs were just developed to make tiny adjustments even when affected by G-force.

@@GreatPotato36 Well you just have to have an experience on rear-drive cars on actual tracks. Then you'll understand, how balls it is to drive one on those loose conditions.
@@JMDrives Oh dude, see, i wasnt sure if you were talking about the drivers or the cars themselves. I totally agree tho, the 1M driver was nuts! I'd put him at the top too.
A 'friend' of mine once won a small rally in FWD Suzuki, in general class, beating even 4WD cars. Judges were counting times 3 times, because they couldn't believe it.
