Dragged my sister again to help me translate :)

but she can only translate so much since she is still a noob.

1. Everyone complained that it is heavy.

2. It can take sharp turn really well.

3. It can make a newb drive like a professional on the track.

4. When the back ABS actives, on the SST, it won't let you down shift.

5. Overall they all liked the SST.

6. For those who thought that the person who drove the SST dicked around on tsukaba, well he kind of did, I guess he knows he is going to lose anyways, he just kind of showed how he doesn't need to brake on the last turn since ASC does it for you. Pretty much he said, "Look, I don't need to do anything, how wonderful".

7. They all said that the ride was really comfortable.

8. When people enter the corner in the Evo X, they say "its fast! its fast!". So I guess they are saying the Evo X corners pretty fast.

9. The braking was wonderful, they emphasized on that a bit.

10. "Evo X is a new generation of car", commented by the dude who drove the Evo 9, I think.

11. Hill assist test passed, cruising test passed, parking test pass.

That is all!

Cheer dudes :afro::peace:

Kudos to you and sis! I'm glad they liked everything about the car (except for the weight).

From Jackygor's sister's translation it seems that they really like it, despite the slight performance loss compared to the IX.

Overall, they really like it, if you watch the first and second video again, you always hear them laughing and say "Ha-aii" which means fast in Japaneses.

They also say "Su-ge!" which means something along the lines of 'awesome' or 'kickass'. They always say 'ii-kanji' which means 'I like'.

Ya, I think they had tons of fun.

It won "Most fun car to drive" for a reason :)

The weight and slower straight line ability is disappointing, but like many others have pointed out, it's easy to improve those aspects of a car. My main takeaway from this video is that the cornering ability (which is tougher to improve) of the X is better than the IX... witness the X's faster speed in the Ebisu circuit.
