The harder you drive them the better they get in my opinion, they wake up when you beat them hard. Yes they will seem "boring" when pootling or just doing the standard Cossie test of straight line A road 50mph to xxxmph burst... but even a big hp Cossie is boring b y that standard!
I've also been in a few 500bhp+ modified 6's to 9's... how anyone can describe those as boring I don't know, and I've been in a few naughty cars in my time.
If I could a) fit one in my garage and b) got bored of modifying a silly little Toyota Starlet and wanted a fun drivers car I'd have an Evo over a Cossie any day of the week.
Ben,
This reply should end this thread imo, you more than most have driven, been in some seriously modded Cosworths and to post a reply like that sums it all up.
I too CAN NEVER understand how anyone can call an Evo boring, totally beyond me, Sheady has taken me out in some serious cars and boring was probably the furthest word from my mind, I think I recall something like " FUCK ME Mark"
Yes that can also apply to Cossies, but like I've said, a lot of blinkered people on here.
Rod is very honest in his reply, he's been in some very quick Evos too and I know he rates them very highly, but they're not him he's a a Cossie guy BUT not once does he say they're boring
Rant over
