It's AWD, take off should be better than a FWD car.
The EVO will also have power, out of the box, compared to the RSX.
Handling at high speeds? Do you mean, how does it handle going around corners fast? Or do you mean, how does it handle going fast on a straight away?
Have you ever seen TopGear? Those guys over there like only British, Italian, and German made cars.
Here's a few for you to review. I am not biased about the EVO either. I like them as much as other cars, I like all sorts of all brands of cars...but since you asked about the EVO ;) I do praise that car though.

Here's an older EVO on ice....can your RSX do this? Don't try this at home, lol.

Everyone's favorite TopGear vid featuring the EVO...

There's a vid that I watched awhile back and it had the driver (with one finger) turning the car while the driver was getting pressed against the side of the seat.



BTW, I like the RSX too, but when you pit it with the EVO.....:D
I've had FWD, RWD, and AWD....and AWD is much more fun! Unless you like burning rubber..

Dude... the last video was the FQ400.... not your every day MR so you cant use that as an example.

I went to a Mitsu dealer.. looking at EVOs an ****... and the dude wanted to show me the video... and i explained that the car in the video was the FQ400 and they didnt even know... so they had been showing customers the video and making them think that it was the normal MR.... hmmmmmm

It's TopGear....?
If there was a show that was even somewhat informative like that in the states, I would have linked those vids...but there isn't.[>:]
Hell, that 2nd vid is of an older EVO. I really wasn't being specific, just giving him an idea is all ;)

the EVO will out handle the RSX all day every day at any speed. and the take off the EVO WILL DESTROY a FWD car

These cars are fun. all you will need is one test drive and youll be ready to buy it. that is what happend to me. and honestly it doesnt take to much to get the EVO to boil up all 4 tires if you wanted to
