All the time. I always see F-bodys, Cobras, Supras, or even other Evos when I'm in my DD. Don't see **** when I'm actually in the Evo.

I work at a car dealership as an inventory manager so i am always driving company cars around and the other day i got my *** handed to me by a ls2 vette while driving a 350z. All i could say was "If I was in my real car, I would of whooped your ***" and he was like whatever. Frustrating to say the least.

Thats one of the reasons I just bought a quick DD. (SRT-6)
I love it so far. It's comfortable, quiet and quick, which is perfect for me in a DD.

What ^ he said supposedly at around 108 trap. Which is exactly what I trapped in my WS6 before the Cam. Not much I can do to it performance wise though. A company makes a pulley and new tune, but wants something like $2000+ for a piece of alluminum and a tune forget that.

Other than that I couldn't resist the car for only $24,000 brand new for a $45,000 car. Apparantly no one would buy them at their original price (which I don't blame them) so now you can get them for dirt cheap.

I think it's happened to everyone, myself included.

But most of my boys have fast cars though, so when I'm with them in their car, they can hold their own.
