FQ = ******* Quick. *nods* Hehe.
OMG, that Evo is crazy! I'm sorry they were like searching for bad things to say about it. Let's see here:
1. The clutch is stiff and you have to learn how to take off with it. Ok, that'll take a decnt driver maybe an hour to learn. Anyone want to take a guess what the clutch is like on the super cars that cost four times as much? Yeah, even worse.
2. It gets 4 MPG. Um yeah, when you're beating the s*** out of it around the track. No it'll never get great gas mileage. But, I doubt the buyer of this car is too concerned about gas mileage. How many MPG does the Lambo get? I'd wager to guess it's in the same range and that's with day to day driving.
3. It has a huge turning radius. Welcome to AWD cars. You have to expect some sort of trade off for being able to power-slide at 75 MPH on three wheels with only one finger on the steering wheel.
4. And of course, losing the race from a roll with the Fiat. Come on, that was just stupid. Of course the car has to be in the right gear to produce power. This isn't a weakness of just a FI car. Try to take my old Mustang 5.0 and race the Fiat from 30 in 5th gear. The Fiat weighs nothing and is geared a hell of a lot shorter due to the fact that its top speed is probably like 85 or 90.
Anyhow, still a great vid. well worth downloading. I love Top Gear and I think the host is hilarious. Very few cars escape some amount of criticism on that show no matter how great they are. You can tell the man has a lot of respect for the FQ.

5th gear is on Speed ChannelJCell said:
Tiff Needel is an amazing driver.
Clarkson is good too but hes more of a journalist. Im gonna say that Tiff is even better then the 2 stigs (white and black) on top gear.
He recently smoked a Ducati 999 on a Molser MT900...almost did in a Gallardo. Give that man any car and he will work wonders.
And you should check out Tiffs stunt driving.
Both are amazing shows...Top Gear for the cars. 5th gear I watch for the stunts and driving.
FQ400 is a special EVO only available in the UK
Basically a fully built FQ300 with some nice parts including HKS con rods and a nice 3 year warrenty on a 400 or so bhp car
