driving impressions- 2005 EVO rs

we have one. i have driven this car 2 times before. now we have one. i must say that this car is tight! the steering feel is very nice. the lag is not. at 4 grand my heart starts to feel very light swithing through the gears i swear it reminds me of a S2k on crack. stock tires are excellent as well... 235's if i'm not mistaken.(anyone confirm?)

things i do not like- torque, acd(not big deal) shifter feel
things i do like- race car theme(no power windows,door locks, stereo), the way it yanks! and screams - kinda "vtec" in a unscientific way-- all butt dyno info-

i love my job. for about 5 minutes i was rationalizing trading in the wifes wrx for this badboy... then i was like... nah.
