Your ignorance makes you look a bit foolish. I was trying to state why would they even compare that to an 8? If the 8 had the same specs in the Rotary Engine and Suspension, it would smoke the pipes off that car.

There are two problems with the Evo MR.
1) The reason the car is so fast, is the drivetrain is trying to desperately escape the body. Unfortunantly for the drivetrain, the body seems bolted on
.
2) Mitsubishi and all their current woes and "omg, wtf, lol! You went over 65! WARRANTY VOIDED!!" bs.
Other then that its pretty much the fastest production car you can buy under 100k that isn't a kit car.

Mentalhealth is overrated
I find the EVo and WRx look like ugly econo boxes with a bunch of spoilers and big *** wings tacked on to appeal to the little bit of rice in people. They go like stink but look like a factory version of your basic everyday "ricer". The interiors look and feel really cheap......Maybe if I was younger, none of that would bother me so long as I could get from light to light faster than the next guy, but I'm looking for so much more than that now....that's why I bought the 8.

Mitsubishi is fine and will be for years to come.

So do you still think you saved money considering that you could of just bought what you wanted to begin with?

Why am I not surprised the thread turn out this way, chill out people... the EVO is pure performance, no point bashing over it. Just love your car
