as far as 1st impressions....i gotta say the opening sequence was horrible. so damn cheesy...i really wanted to mute or change it for the opening. BUT after that was over, it was back to normal it seemed, so no worries. given what i know of Focussport and what I've seen from Fireballed....the evo does not stand out in the is competion...the way it's "graded" at least.
i can convert the episodes (i dvr with mediacenter), but i just don't know where to put them, and what quality i should convert to?

Well, my friend I completely agree with you about the beginning. It was so corny I was laughing. But, what was the producers thinking when they planned this episode. Evo RS versus an Mini and a Focus !?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Forgive me for be a skeptic but I don't see how in the world the Focus has a chance. Forgive my turner ignorance, it's been a while since I've been up with tuning cars and I'm sure some of you are going to love to correct me but. The Focus is going to be slaughtered.
Horsepower
1st=
Evo Comes 286 hp with factory turbo(stock) they are aiming for 600hp + AWD_ MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd=
Focus 140 HP a standard 2.0 liter 4-banger. No Turbo No Supercharger or anything(stock) They are aiming for 300 hp to the wheels with turbo, not hardly enough
3rd=
Mini 107 HP with factory turbo(stock) there aim........ just go !!!!!
Handling
1st=
Mini it's an over-sized go kart and it weighs 10 lbs
2nd=
Evo it's AWD and has a major horsepower advantage
3rd=
Focus heavier than Mini maybe heavier than Evo
This is looking like a slaughter of epic proportions against the Focus. Those guys for Focus team better tune the living hell out of that car in order for it to have a chance.
The way I see this challenge is
1st = Mini
2nd = Evo
3rd = Focus
this is going to leave a mark
