Guys. Guys.
Chill a little.... Else Hurdy is going to have to lock this thread.
There is no pride in saying I kicked your @ss in an arguement here.
Its the internet for heavens sake!

Anyone who wants to prove their cars, be it 0-60, standing 1/4, rolling 1/2 mile etc should:-
a) keep it off public roads.
b) take it to the track and prove it.
I have no misconceptions about my car, every performance quote I give is backed up from printouts of actual track events or Rolling roads.
An ED30 is a top quality hot hatch which has good modding potential, but here is the crux of the issue - an EVO in any kind of modded state is a different beast for a different type of market and is something I personally would never subscribe to. A modded S3 or a Modded R32 would be more up my street, but even these have a slightly different appeal to a GTI/ED30.
Rally based ricers are bred from just that, Rallying technology and as such are point to point weapons, but what they gain in performance they lose out on in quality and mass market appeal and image.
