Discuss.
True that! I got smoked by an Evo, made me sad but then I ate McDonald's and I was over it...

I suggest you read (not skim through) the post I quoted before jumping to anymore conclusions.

I get tired of all this import domestic bullshit!! And all this brand loyalty. Why can't we just be happy with our cars, and respect other enthusiasts!!!

This is true. No replacement for displacement, but ugh, these stupid import and domestic fights

Cheaper and import in the same sentence? That hasnt been true since the 90's. Look around, the cars GM offer are considerably cheaper for the value vs an import, especially after rebates. You cant even get a Civic sedan anymore for under 15K, and thats without air conditioning.

As far as V8 vs I4, its not about whats better because its obvious the V8 will always be better because of the laws of themodynamics. Its about how much money you have. V8's are found in higher end cars, an I4 is cheaper to make so its found in lower end cars. When it comes down to it, its all about money. a LS7 is $12,000+ just for the motor. Yes you can make a 4 cylinder powerful, but you take a similar turbo setup with the same boost (and twice as much money) and you can make the V8 have 4 times as much power due to much higher CFMs.

brand loyalty is just go with what you know, if you know you like something then by all means have a large over-inflated opinion about it, but it's just an opinion. personally i like both cars and would love to have one of each in my driveway... but until then i'm just gonna keep wishing i had 'em.

it is to bad the evo owner had to be an ass about it tho.

I hope no one on here believes that "brand loyalty" is going anywhere. This is a car forum primarily for Cobalt drivers. Over half the threads I've read on this site make some reference to blah, blah, blah being "better" than 4cyls, blahx3 better than imports, no replacemrnt blah, blah blah, etc. A lot of people on this site believe this. I'm not gonna make my opinions anymore obvious than they already are. I'll just leave it as people are going to have their reasons for saying ABC is better than XYZ.

What we don't see is the EVO blowing the vette off the line and the vette coming back on the top end to win.

I guess they think turbos, superchargers and nitrous are sooooo new

I like evos and would like to have my own but every person ive met with one was a DICK!!
They all thought there **** didnt stink. Granted ive met Vette owners that were the same way but just a few. True car people respect all cars and car owners unless there mustangs

i know a few owners from both sides and none of them are dicks at all, maybe it's just the ones around ur area + i live in spo-com central so respect goes futher than senseless opinions, i guess it's up to you to teach them a lesson.
