Went do to Interpro yesterday with my startion racing friend to watch a Lancer RR day. Arrived to find a good few Lancers there, inc Simon Norris's own car. Simon had promised my friend a run in the Evo, and one of Simons friends said he was on his way down, but he could have a drive of his Lancer  ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/NDlancer.jpg) Leightweigh, and not much grip - that was a very fun car! Then Simon turns up in the Evo: 0-60 sub 3 secs 0-100 5.8secs 730bhp top speed 200mph + ![[Linked Image]](http://www.norris-designs.co.uk/evo7_rearside.jpg) and offers to take us round the block  I have to jump in the back, sort wedged between the seat and the rollcage, and braced myself....... What can I say about this car  Its awsome! Fitted with a sequential box, there was no lag between gears, and the acceleration make your stomack go all funny - like the feeling you get from a big drop rollercoaster! In a very, and I mean very short space we really moving, ever gear slotted the car just pulled harder and harder, and Ive never experienced anything like it before - Im even still grinning now, and Im also sure I dented the rollcage as I was hanging on so tight

They aint reliable standard are they?
Good quality aftermarket parts in theory should increase reliability?
Nice car, i am jealous, the quickest car i have ever been in, is a GTiR, the was 60 in about 6 seconds.

They cant be too bad std, Mitsubishi have give a 36000mile, 3 year warrenty on the new FQ400 - and I cant say Ive heard many "common" problems with them As far as quality of parts, I belive the ND car owes Simon in excess of £100k

I know that feeling mate, I've ridden in a sub 4 secs 0-60 Impreza before and that was incredible, topped out about 175mph. That sounds awesome though, I'm so jealous
