Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
These days the Evo is one of the most respected cars on the road. In stock form it is one of the ultimate rally bred, point-to-point missiles money can buy, and Evos that are modified easily have the potential to give Ferrari owner something to worry about.

I aim to change that here by showing how the first gen CTS-V is one of the more solid performance sedan bargains out there. Read the rest of this entry »

I love the surprise there is a few seconds in. When I first saw this video I was like “its cool but they’re all normal Ferraris” and then, all too quickly, I realized how wrong I was. Awesome video.
