Cars

Unfortunately a dude I know got me thinking about cars.  The WRX STi, the non-existent Legacy GT Wagon; and the car I almost bought, the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII.  This video demonstrates a few of the car's capabilities...


And here's some WRC action for your amusement. Those cars are not fooling around.


In my opinion, World Rally Championship drivers are the best drivers in the world. If you listen carefully, you can hear the rattling engine sound of the anti-lag. The car injects raw fuel into the exhaust, which ignites and the explosion keeps the turbo spun up while the car shifts gears. Turbo lag? Not so much.
