Default Missing the feeling

A mate of mine has confessed to me that he misses the feeling I sold my STI Type UK 03 MY to him a while ago. He sold his Type R scoob to fund the purchase. He also had at the time a mint high powered sieera cossy, which he was selling. He swapped the cossy and cash for a mitsi Evo 8 FQ300. He decided the mitsi was a better car than the scoob Now after about 6 months of mitsi ownership, he in his own words has admitted he misses the feel and drive/agression of the scooby. He said the mitsi is void of driver feel almost as though sometimes your not doing the driving. So he's going back to a Scooby . I suppose regardless of how capable the mitsi is, it just hasn't got the overall special feeling a scooby seems to have.

I had a go in his Evo yesterday. Very direct steering and smooth power delivery and carries speed extremely well. 362 bhp, but it never once felt really quick, even though i knew it was. It all felt a bit like a playstation car is the only way to explain it. Without doubt a phenominal car..........but it left me feeling a bit cold.
