BTW, what does "modded stock" mean? Is that different than regular ole' modded?

Im not gunna lie, but i would love to own an EVO as a DD i think they would be pretty fun. I rode in one that ran like 11.8s and man did it feel like we were flying.. When the boost hit that was the fun part i love that feeling but in my TA i have it as soon as i hit the throttle

I don't know why anyone would think racing from a roll is stupid. Where I live its the only time I get to run. Its not like the F & F over here where there is a huge warehouse that everyone goes too. Most of my races are impromptu freeway rolls to put cocky slow cars in there place!

It's sad how people can dis on a car/owner just because it's an import. I own both and I could care less where it made.
And to the guy running a 13.6@105. Are you kidding me? Man way to hate ona car running better times then you.

again, evo's aren't a very popular car. compare it to an f-body, mustang, charger...they just don't sell by comparison.

I dont want to spur this thing on anymore than it always goes but:
1)Your talking down about Evo Sales? At least its on sale. WTF do you think happened to F-Bodies?
And I have lived in Colorado and Arizona. Just west of Denver and right in PHX. About as different as two towns can be IMO. I see Evos everywhere in both places. Despite the fact that they cost more.
2)500RPM for decent power?. They start by 4. Hell full boost stock is sooner than that in 3rd gear, let alone on some highway pull. It gets better with bolt-ons.
3)Sound is subjective. Show me a numerical representation of a nice sounding car versus a bad sounding car and a formula to determine it. I'm sure most of us do prefer the sound of an LS1. I certanly do and I love 4G63s. This is LS1Tech. But LS1Tech is not the whole world. Lots of people like the sound of Evos, myself included. As for modded: Big turbo low displacement cars have a really cool sound to them. At first you just hear the build up and then there is just a wall of sound. Its not melodious like a NA V8. Its just this incoherent barage. Its awesome. Not as awesome in my opinion, but definitely not bad.

But its useless to say anything to you because in you mind you right about everything and know everything of all cars lol. btw just wondering have you ever even been in a evo?

The F-Body makes a hell of a lot more power than a stock Evo, by about 50-70WHP. Thats a huge difference. The F-Body will throw you back in the seat harder at ANY RPM.
I think everyone here has at least been in an Evo. I've never been more unimpresed with a car. It reminded me of my old 4 cylinder beater until the turbo spooled, at which point I was about to fall asleep.

"Duh...does it be going fast? Then I like it wooo"
I've driven plenty of Evos. Not impressed in the least.

Why don't you try your Evo up against an LS1 that is modded as well. Any modded car can beat a stock car. Stupid comparison.
Reliable??
Its a Mitsubishi. If you consider "reliable" as lasting for 80K miles without blowing to pieces, I guess you could say its reliable. In the overall scheme of things though mitsubishis are pieces of ****, both quality and reliability wise. Theres a reason the company is almost bankrupt and DC dumped them off on the side of the road.
about that all imports sound like ricer crap thing: Ever heard a boxer engine with unequal length headers and boost? Thought not. Its a sound that gets questions from people of all walks of life with all types of vehicles, including full drag Busas and dedicated race cars. So don't bring your little opinions and insignificant experiences to the table like you're holding a Nobel Peace Prize in automotive advancements.
Logic?? Yea, you use import trolling fanboy logic alright...

It just amazes me how many import fanboys there are on here trying to get respect for Evos. They are nothing special, its an economy car with a turbo 4 banger. Yes, you can mod them to be fast. So can any other car. Difference it modding a real performance car nets you a fast car that sounds and looks good. The Evo is the opposite.

Yeah what he said.. They only added bolt ons, spray and a Kenny Bell on to a GT500 and it runs 9.. You would need to drop 30k into an EVO to get it to run 9's.
/Sarcasm off
Sadly in the end you still spent less money on the EVO.
You can get an EVO to run 9's CHEAPER then just buying a GT500.

The Evo is based on the Lancer economy sedan. It was never meant to be a performance car. It was meant to be cheap, get good gas mileage, and be disposable. Big difference there buddy.
