P5 or Evo?

I know this is stupid question to most but I have to ask it.

OK OK OK before some of you go ahead and post EVO read on. In about 3-6 months me and a couple guys are going to head down to the Nurnburg Ring. For about 100 bucks you can take 5 laps on the ring in your car.

I am lost in which car I want to take. I know the Evo is faster and handles better but I would love to take the wagon around the ring. For the P5 being a "wagon" it handles extremely well. By then I would like to have some new tires and a couple of new engine mods to make it alittle faster. Plus with the P5 being alittle slower I wont be tempted to push the car beyond its limits like I would the Evo. Plus I dont want to blow a diff in the Evo.

Any suggestions?

yeah.....evo.


no small engine mods are going to really pep up the engine enough to make it REALLY enjoyable.

I know the P5 wont be fast but I think it will still be fun.

If that was the case I would take the P5....That is kinda the reason why I want to take the P5. Last time I took the Evo out to beat the hell out of it I lost at wheel(dont ask...its a long story) I have to sell the Evo in about 18 months. It would really suck to tell someone it was crashed at the Ring when I try to sell it.

But in the end I will probably end up taking the Evo anyway.
