Anyone played around with the new EVO lately?

Just wondering, because that little Japo-shitbox could really move. I got my butt handed to me twice by one today. I just wanted to play around with it a bit, and it's driver was more than willing to show me what it could do. Better yet, the guy actually knew how to drive (a first for import owners in my area). It obviously didn't work out too well in my favor, but it was cool none the less...

The big thing that I noticed with the new EVO is its completely refined AWD system. It was raining when the two of us first went at it, and the streets were quite wet... He must've dumped the clutch from over 3k RPM for his launch, but the thing barely spun for a second. It just took off like a rocket. Meanwhile, I'm slipping through fourth gear, half a block behind him...

Anyways, it was very cool to get to play around with a car so new to the market, so I just thought I'd share.
