I probably would have kept it, but I had way too many cars at the time. I still had my #242 car, a Viper GTS ACR, and a Lancer Evo 8. The Viper was the best track car, but the Evo was the best handling car on the planet at the time. I bought a "Lightning Yellow" one that came in on the first boatload from Japan. I took it out on highway 9 that goes from Los Gatos over the Santa Cruz mountains to the coast. That's a very twisty turny 2-lane road. Perfect for the Evo. I kept pushing it harder and harder into turns, but it never gave any indication of letting go. I threw it into turns so fast I thought to myself "Oh fuk I'm gonna die!", but it was too tenacious. I eventually came up behind a group of sport bike riders, who tried (in vain) to lose me. I kept right on their tail, accepting their challenge. Eventually they realized they weren't going to lose me, so they pulled over and let me go by. They couldn't keep up with me. In a R&T test article, they said they recorded the fastest slalom speeds of any car they had ever tested.</p></blockquote><p></p>
