Are these fast and how does it handle? Serious question

Well at the minute coming from a 1.4 90bhp corsa it feels unreal and this is the fastest car I've driven so it's hard for me to be the judge of it. But it's definitely not slow.
Handling wise at the minute it's awesome! So much grip, it's got a whiteline alignment setting on it at the moment and it feels great. Handles a million times better than the corsa did anyway .

I just always look at them and think they're huge, and then you never hear people saying they are fast - although with 400bhp anything will be fast

Tbh I wouldn't say it was any bigger than your Evo? Certainly doesn't feel big to drive!

Only from accidental sustained loss of traction . Lol. I've not got it for skidding though tbh lee. I've always wanted one for fast road use as apposed to drifting. But sometimes I can't help myself

They're longer and more sleek. The Evo is wider, (except Sean's lol) taller and heavier.

Got the car sitting at a much more reasonable ride height this weekend. Can't go much further at the moment dew to not having tucked the loom yet but I'm much happier for the minute .
Also picked up some touring skirts from a local member wich I machined polished, waxed and sealed ready for fitment.
I've also got some clear front indicators for the bumper on the way from SeanB. And I've sent my documents away to get my private plate on *N5 TTH* .

Fitted my Touring skirts today! Being as it's not a "touring" model the sills are free from holes and clips from having skirts fitted from factory. So naturally I didn't want to go peppering them with holes lol. So off to Halfords and Jewsons I went!
So I've used one screw fixing in the front arches wich was already there to hold the arch liners in, and the rest is trim tape and a dab of adhesive on each tab underneath . So chuffed being I only payed £40 for them with both end caps!
Also I've fitted some clear side repeaters wich I picked up for free .
Oil and filter change tomorrow and hopefully my private plate bits come in the post next week
