I dont want you to think I have something against the lsx motors, becuase they are some of the best(especially LS7).

I used to think the same thing about the evo's look. But as time grew on and I started to see others with mild add ons such as wheels, lowered, etc... it really started to grow on me. Granted, there not the sexiest cars in the world, but there are worse out there.

Funny story.. I used to like EVOS, especally some of the older ones. Then I met this guy at school and he is the definition of fanboy. After him just spurting off bullshit (most had no real facts behind it) I started to hate them. He said a stock one could beat a built ZO6 in a race, then he started doggin my car when I never said it was fast and all that. I have never liked evos since.

All right I admit it I ate crow I asked and you delivered Nice cars and I apologize for being wrong. Still not sure if all of those will fit even if the garage is clean nice cars though.

I still don't agree with your views though (long live the LS motors)

I've seen plenty of LSx drivers do the same thing. It's a bit ignorant to brand a car based on the stupidity of one person.

Yes it is, thats not the ONLY reason why I don't like them. I was just telling a story. Tastes change and even if I had never met him, I still wouldn't like the cars today. For my tastes they are ugly, regardless of what anyone tells me.

As for GTO vs Evo...the GTO interior may be nicer, but stock for stock an Evo 9 will spank a GTO. True story jethro. If I want a car with a nice interior, I'll buy a BMW.
Evos can be built to be respectably fast. I personally don't really like goats except for the old 70s as my father owned a judge. I don't know about evo 9s but the 2003 Evos suck *****...I raced one with my 96 ponticrap fireturd and I had a half a car on him the entire way (my car only has a catback and a CAI). His mods were full exhaust, header, no cats, boost controller, down pipe and an inter cooler. I thought those things were rape when they're stock? 270ish HP right?

I don't know if he lacked the driver mod or not, but he was definitely banging the gears and didn't miss a shift

All in all, people only post crap like this to get the attention they didn't get when they were wee childs, so please...leave it off the forums, no one cares.

Now...

do the new evos run the same engine as the old eclipse?
I do like the 4g63 for certain cars. I'm on the fence I like both.

Okay,now everyone is talking about how "reliable" the 4G63 is.I can tell you from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE that the LS series motors are far more reliable.
I had a 91' talon tsi awd;went through 3 motors in 2 1/2 years.
Had a 00' ws6 with ls1,no problems with motor,replaced the 10 bolt rear.
had 04' goat w/ls1,absolutely no problems and definitely had my fun with it.
Currently have 05' goat with ls2,and lemme tell ya boys,if you haven't driven one of these,GO FOR IT!The ls2 makes this car.Have had 0 problems with this car,and is an absolute BLAST to drive.
.....anyways,as far as the 4g63,expensive to work on,and expensive parts also.I had a big 16g with 550cc injectors,SAFC air controller,2nd gen ported exhaust manifold/ATR 3 inch exhaust w/no cat/3 inch downpipe/evo 02 housing ported/balance shafts removed.I spent a TON of omney on that car,had it tuned by passen motorsports in columbus,ohio,and that thing CONSTANTLY broke down.Yes,it was an older car,but there's plenty of parts I replaced more than once.On the LS series motors,in MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE,it doesn't happen.

So you are comparing a 1991 car to a 2004 car. Sounds fair
If you want to compare cars from 1991..compare a 91 Z28 to that talon. Everyone knows how dependable those 91 Z28's were.

When did I become an LSx hater? I've owned 2 LS1 cars myself, along with an LT1 car. So now any video showing an LSx car losing is unacceptable to you babies? Oh ho..the mighty LSx can never lose!!!

Hell it makes the interior of my Mom's G35 look and feel like ****.
