Hello,

An Evo is on the short list of cars I'm considering for a dedicated track car and I have some questions.

Please note that I'm looking at already built track ready evos, though the option of buying a street car and gradually building it over time is also a possibility.

Which platform is generally the best to build on? The Sim is all I have to go off at the moment. The 8 and 9 are probably my favourite looking but I do love the 6 too. The 6 also feels the most nimble.

Also, how reliable are these engines? The value for performance seems too good to be to true so what's the catch? How much can the power be turned up on a stock block for track use?

Yes I'm looking at already built examples, but want a general idea of where the "red flag" zone is.

And for those who track tour Evo's, please list the tracks you go to and the sort of times you're putting down so I can get more of an idea.

Cheers

Hello,

I'm wanting to get a dedicated track car to develop with and improve my own times. I have previous track experience but it has been many years aside from a lot of time spent on my local tracks in the sim.

After looking into M3's, Caymans etc. I'm finding used, already built, track ready (some ex time attack) Evos in a lower price range for much better performance.

I've tried a few Evos on the sim since the the 6 feels like it has the sharpest handling but the 9 and 10 put down better lap times. They feel very easy to drive fast, have great brakes and very good turn in for an AWD car.

Is there a reason Evos aren't suggested more as track cars? I'm struggling to find anything that comes close in performance for money. How's the reliability on a properly built one?

Of course buying a road legal one and gradually building it is a potential option too.

Anyway, with all platforms being in reasonable price ranges and within budget - I'm looking for info from people who have experience with evos on what they find to be the best overall platform.

Thanks
