What about a turn? An Evo is also one of the best handling cars that you can buy.

I had an 800 HP Evo and really enjoyed it. I now have a GT700 GT2 which is a great car but I really miss the Evo.

An EVO will hold it's own in the corners and in stock trim with CO's you can fit 275s on all corners.

They could be REAL fast with simple bolt ons if done right...

TheBlueBlur is a glorious beacon of light

I have an Evo 9 with bolt-ons+custom ECU tuning and it hauls ***. I dont know If I could take a 996 Turbo, but im sure it would be close. My brother(O-Ace) has a GT650 996TT, so I dont really have anyone to try it against.

A lot of people are surprised by how fast my car is with a relatively small amount of money dumped into it. I especially love the reaction of the guys with their heavy *** Mercs, that dont even know what an Evo is. I have taken a CL55AMG by a bit, and destroy any normal Merc. The closest thing was an S600, but even then I was the clear winner.
