I know, but dang, lawmakers and the police there are perfect examples of a government run amok. When there are so many other serious crimes out there that should be enforced more rigidly, do they honestly think they can make a moral equivalence between say an assault and speeding? Speeding? And, Virginia should be…

Quite frankly, even 85 is too low for reckless driving. A big speeding ticket yes, but not reckless. I still am enraged when I think of how Patrick was treated by the overzealous cop who ticketed him. Speed has never been about safety. It has always been about cities, counties and states making extra money to line…

The perfect car to go hooning in Rappahannock County in Virginia. Gotta say it looks pretty fetching.

Well, it won't win any beauty contests. But, the proof is in the racing. Nissan is a very capable company and I am sure they know what they are doing. But man, it is about the ugliest and weirdest racecar I have ever seen other than the Deltawing.

Yeah, I miss the hatch version. There was talk that it might come back though.

Well, I am really glad that they are sorting the car out so that it will be ready for LeMans. This year is going to be absolutely fabulous.

If you remember the accident, there was quite a discussion on evolutionm.net about whether or not the cage was designed strongly enough. If you want to read about the build and the argument regarding whether or not the roll cage was gusseted enough, read this thread from evolutionm.net: http://www.evolutionm.net/forums…

California only gets 91 octane. In the Midwest where I live, it is 93, good enough for a great tune on my Evo X. A lot of guys run E85 though with a map switch to go back and forth between 93 and E85. We even have a few stations with E98, a killer brew for a turbocharged engine. Cylinders run cooler and the power, oh…

One reason I am glad that I do not live in California...

I agree that the terrain is more interesting in South America. Something about bounding over sand dunes though that kind of makes it for me.

Yeah, that would be fun. Or, how about 50 caliber machine guns mounted in turrets on top of the vehicles?

It is really too bad that roving gangs of thugs and terrorists stopped the running of the Paris to Dakar rally.

After watching 'B-1 Pilot's' video, I realized that there are readers and then there are READERS Kind of makes me look a pre-schooler mixed in with a Harvard Phd graduate. About all I can say is that Tyler's articles are simply the best on Jalopnik. I have learned so much and have so enjoyed the technically well…

Reminds me of the 2012 Pikes Peak race. Jeremy Foley, a member of evolutionm.net to which I am a member, went off a turn and flipped 12 times in his Mitsubishi Evo. I think a telephone pole might have helped him out as well.

No, we have GSRs with 5 speeds. The MR, which has the twin clutch SST transmission is a sweet car. I just saw one at a dealer-2013 with 3,000 miles for 30K, a bargain. The Evos are actually very reliable over the long haul. The 4B11T engine is stout and the transmission and center differential are very tough and can…

The Rallye Monte Carlo is definitely on my to do list to see before I die. Something about rallyes in the winter that make these cars so appealing.

I have always loved the livery on the Flying Lizard cars. I felt kind of bad for them when CORE Autosport got the factory blessing. Before the Tudor series, Flying Lizard had some very fast and uber competitive GT [now GTLM] cars.

Honestly, it is probably the best car I have ever owned reliability wise, next to my 2001 Corolla which has only given a trouble free ownership. Both my son and I bought new 2011 Evo Xs in 2011. We have the same bolt ons, but for some reason, his has always been faster than mine. I never drive my Evo in the winter,…

I own a 2011 Evo X and my son also owns one. Both have full bolt ons. Neither one has heat soak, even when it is in the mid 90s. I know many Evo owners who track their cars and heat soak is not an issue. Where I live, we have 93 octane gas as well as E85. E85 makes the engines run cooler and makes more power.

I hope Ford pulls this off in a way that American enthusiasts will be happy. I happen to own a Mitsubishi Evo X. Since Mitsubishi is going to drop the Evo X, I have read lots of comments by owners that the RS will be their next car. Mitsubishi dropped the ball and Ford picked it up and ran with it.
