Evo is the new performance bargain?

because it's a big fat pig. the evo 8/9 trap ~5mph higher and 1 second quicker than what they recorded, both of which outperform a normal 911 and are close to an elise (though a supercharged elise wasn't out back then). the evo has 2 big advantages over the MS3 (though the obv disadvantage of price): its awd drivetrain and the aftermarket. we'll have to see what happens with the MR's DSG box once people start making more power with them


to me that article says the biggest performance bargain is the GTR. you're going to have a tough time finding a car south of $150k that will be close
 
Dealers are marking these things up $5,000+. Who in their right mind would pay $40k+ for a suped up Lancer that's going to fall apart in 3 years like any other Mitsu?

On a lighter note, that GT-R is a beast!

fyi, only bad dealers are marking them up. shop around on evom or evoxforums a bit and you'll find a dealer in your area who will sell for well below MSRP without any haggling. also after owning an evo 8 for 2.5 years i had much, much more confidence that it would last a long time than i did after owning a protege for 2 years and from what i've heard the materials in the X are much better

Christ, we know you love the MS3. So do we, now shut up already. You're like a goddamn broken record. :-)

Your insults aren't welcomed here. Where's a moderator when you need them?

I simply pointed out something and you flame me. This is unacceptable behavior.

I'm sorry man, but your fanboyism is ridiculous. We all like the MS3, but you take it to a completely absurd level by arguing with anyone that says any other car comes even close to the MS3.

Go back over your posts replying to people comparing the MS3 to the GTI and the new Cobalt SS. You sir, are booty blind.

There are other great cars on the road beside the MS3, get over it.

Your standment is completely unfounded sir! I never said one car was better than the other. I might have pointed out facts / figures posted.

You sound like you have a personal problem with me or something? Do I know you?

Oooo, sensitive. I'll only reply to say this...I've tried you send you several PMs, all of which were ignored apparently. If you wanna PM me and talk about this offline, so be it. Otherwise I'm just going to ignore your rants.
 
I never asked for ms3 0-60 and 1/4 time nor the comparison between evo and ms3.

I never said you asked. I simply pointed that out. Sorry you had a problem with it!

Hopefully you can get over the fact that the New runs about the same 1/4 time as a MS3. I never said the MS3 was a better car because of that. Please accept my sincerities apologize!
