The Evo is by far a higher performance car in every way but then the running/servicing costs are prob twice as high so i would say its best to think what your going to use it for i.e Track (Evo) or Road (Sooby)! As for the tuning my engine its self is standard @65k the only things i had done are to change the exhaust manifold and system, 8MR turbo and a Motec M800 ecu and its runs 12.1 @ 113mph everytime where as my friend has a Scooby P1 with full exhaust heads back, front mount intercooler, 750cc injectors, Simtek ecu with lanch control, a/c removed etc etc and cant get close to that, i no mine being a RS helps... no ABS, AYC, A/C, elec windows or central locking and low ratio gearbox but he spent almost twice what i have! I think im running 380ish and as its only used for tracking dont really need anymore than that!
You sure you just ain't a better driver ?
Shit driver in a good car will still be a shit performance
