the reason why they fall apart is cuz ppl mod them to no end for high power. you cant expect reliability with any DD high HP application idc what the hell it is you drive.. its called paying to play..

you push big power in the cobalt dont expect it to go over 100k without **** breaking too.. its all part of the game


as far as interior goes, its still leagues over the cobalt interior.. freaking push tab plastic trim (well everthing being plastic for that matter).. its not hard to beat

You know i heard mixed things about top gear. And didnt really believe the lambo was going all out on that video. But recently i been to the track and 4 of my Evo buddies were racing against a few lambos and were keeping up with it. They got to drive the lambo as well and all of them said the same thing the lambo is nice but id still perfer my Evo"

Lets see a 400hp cobalt last over 100k. (if they can get there without serious work) As where theres a few guys on stock turbo, stock engine....just bolt ons, e-85 and a good tune that are making 400-414awhp

I never understood why people wants their SS to look like an Evo anyway. Nice car OP but not worth the $ IMO

1) Okay, well they are consistently beating v8s at their own game, with half the HP and still be streetable.

2) lol, i didn't know stock turbo cars that are daily driven and can run 11s are breaking all the time.

3) You're comparing GT500's....vettes.....and vipers...to a 35K car? lol. You can't even compare apples and apples.

4) Winged Warrior: Welcome to WingedWarrior.org you are just so ridiculous. I'm kind of sad to own the same car as you. Winged warrior is a national event....with national judges....and national recognition. The evo's at this event **** up vettes, gt500s, and terminators, and the like ALL DAY. You get points for being all around cars and beign able to compete in numerous fields, the vettes and terminators and gt500s can MAYBE do one thing well....

5) So you're comparing an 70K z06, to an evo. yes stock for stock I would sure hope that the vette would beat it.

6) Have you been to a time attack track event or drag event with serious evo's? you obviously haven't because you severely under appreciate what that motor, and car can do.

7) World class? yes I can say that because the evo's have been rally cars and have a heritage. that is why there are 10 different versions of them. And rally racing is some of the most intense racing ever, period.

8) "My" lancer evo? lol. Nah, I drive a econobox cobalt just like you, just with much more than an intake.

9) My own forum? I'm on it right now talking sense, or trying to talk sense with a close minded american v8 fanboy. typical.

10) You ARE an idiot. That is a BMW m3 paint job. Not even a factory color. I'm a joke? Says the fanboy that can't appreciate the car for its merits and what it has accomplishment. Look at how many evo tuners and shops there are compared to what you're talking about. Evidently the world agrees with the smart people in the world and not you. I'm not trying to convert you to an evo guy, but you need to see the light that the car is well made, and good and can compete on NUMEROUS against cars that literally cost twice or more as it does.

Why did the OP get rid of 1 4 door car to get another one? Because obviously the car he bought was BETTER. And no one cares what you would buy.
You've already proven yourself an ass.





I was referring to this. I'm not comparing it....

Top Gear - Evo vs Lamborghini part 1 - YouTube

top gear did. Why do you think they did?





Ya know what? I said i would not be posting after the last one, but sometimes people say things that make you digress. So...again...Congrats tot he OP for buying a BETTER car. I'm out of this one. Any more stupidity from the cobalt AMURICA fanboys is going to make me lose my mind at how close minded they are.

None the less a guy whose 8 threads are ALL in the problems/service forums.
I understand that you took the lambo vs evo thing from top gear and that it wasnt your specific opinion but Top Gear is hardly a fair reference to support your thoughts, considering they (Top Gear) add variables to their comparisons that the average person who watches it would never realize or would think were in the control group. looks it up, Top Gear forges some of their results

kk....so why do we call what we do to our front lip the "evo mod"? Unless I'm blind, I don not see that pattern on the OP's care. I see it on the newer models.

Wow, good one lol. The best response you can come up with is to call someone an "idiot" because you have no other arguement. Just proves what little intelligence you have, you sound like a crack head.

1) Okay, well they are consistently beating v8s at their own game, with half the HP and still be streetable.
Considering that consitantly DOESN'T happen, you once again look like the clown you are. V8's wipe the floor with Evos, mod for mod is not even a comparison. The Evo needs to know its role, and it has no place with real performance engines. The 4G63 lump of a motor that sounds like **** and has no low end with horrible turbo lag, go cry and cut yourself

2) lol, i didn't know stock turbo cars that are daily driven and can run 11s are breaking all the time.
They break all the time. You are in denile. The first step to recovery is to admitting you have a problem. In this case, your lack of intelligence and ignorance have turned you into a blind Evo fanboy, with no hope for recovery.

3) You're comparing GT500's....vettes.....and vipers...to a 35K car? lol. You can't even compare apples and apples.
Apples to apples is evo **** boys getting their asses handed to them by superior cars

4) Winged Warrior: Welcome to WingedWarrior.org you are just so ridiculous. I'm kind of sad to own the same car as you. Winged warrior is a national event....with national judges....and national recognition. The evo's at this event **** up vettes, gt500s, and terminators, and the like ALL DAY. You get points for being all around cars and beign able to compete in numerous fields, the vettes and terminators and gt500s can MAYBE do one thing well....
I'm sad to live on the same planet as you, I never thought someone could be so damn retarded. Evos don't "**** up" anything besides their transmissions and clutches "all day" lol, you are out of your mind.

Corvettes wipe the floor with the Evo in every category. You need to put the crack pipe down.

6) Have you been to a time attack track event or drag event with serious evo's? you obviously haven't because you severely under appreciate what that motor, and car can do.
"Serious Evos"?? LOL, it keeps getting better!!

8) "My" lancer evo? lol. Nah, I drive a econobox cobalt just like you, just with much more than an intake.
Lancer Evo is an econobox just like a Cobalt. Wow, you have more than an intake. Unlike for you, I don't try make an econo car into something its not. My car is a DD, if I want to go fast I take one of my other cars. You apparently don't understand that concept.

9) My own forum? I'm on it right now talking sense, or trying to talk sense with a close minded american v8 fanboy. typical.
V8 Fanboy...lol, you are ridiculous!!

10) You ARE an idiot. That is a BMW m3 paint job. Not even a factory color. I'm a joke? Says the fanboy that can't appreciate the car for its merits and what it has accomplishment. Look at how many evo tuners and shops there are compared to what you're talking about. Evidently the world agrees with the smart people in the world and not you. I'm not trying to convert you to an evo guy, but you need to see the light that the car is well made, and good and can compete on NUMEROUS against cars that literally cost twice or more as it does.
To restate:

Yes, you are a joke. Stop posting. Seriously.

Why did the OP get rid of 1 4 door car to get another one? Because obviously the car he bought was BETTER. And no one cares what you would buy.
You've already proven yourself an ass.
The fact that you are crying as you type this and smashing your keyboard makes it worth it.

I was referring to this. I'm not comparing it....

top gear did. Why do you think they did?
Jokes on you.

Looks like you never got the memo, the entire thing is scripted. Top gear is a TV show, not a documentary, and in this case it was to exaggerate the Evo's handling prowess.

Congrats, it went right over your head. The Lambo would have whooped the Evo senseless if the driver was actually trying

Retards like this are why this country is screwed.

And don't be offended, by "retard" I mean "behind". As in your intelligence level is far below that of a normal human being.

Ignorance rules because people believe everything they read on the internet.

Have fun with your pile of **** Mitsubishi, better have a good relationship with your local dealer!!

Heres some excerpts from the "You know you own an Evo when..." thread on an Evo forum:

...when cruise control is considered a major advance in creature comfort.

...when the gas station attendant knows you by name

When you need a clutch way before your 60k service!

Mitsubishi tells you that your warranty is VOID when you signed to pick up your NEW car from the dealer with 6 miles on it...

When you spend more time working on it than you do driving it.

When your own manufacturer tries to do everything they can do void your warranty.

- When you brag how awesome the paint quality is (sarcastic....)

- When even if you put on the quietest exhaust system you go to hobby lobby to pick up presto felt to stop the rattling

When you need 10 lanes to pop a u turn....lol

When you realize your car is a *****, because it can pick up any dude but no girl knows what the he'll it is

- You are too ignorant to realize there are better and faster cars out there, some even older and cheaper than your Evo

- You complain about the interior

when u drop your brother to school and they all complain to him how ****ty the car is and how annoying the exhaust is but they all stop me to say nice car and gives me thumbs up

- when you discover a new rattle every day

- when you have to crank up the music because of them (rattles)


when your coworkers ask you why you spent 30k+ on a compact import piece of ****
Those are from real Evo owners. Not people on this forum who think the Evo is the best thing since sliced bread, notice the difference.

How about this:

Fastest Evo time EVER at Nurburgring - 7:57 set in sept 2011

Fastest Corvette time EVER at Nuburgring - 7:19.63 set in june 2011

The Vette wins. End of story. You 2 can stop arguing now

why are we arguing vette vs evo in here? you can buy 2 or 3 evos with the price of one vette depending on the vette, so that means a vette should outperform an evo.
