So today i was leaving work and I drove the SS (usually drive the truck). As I got on the on ramp I saw this mitsibishi looking thing behind me. Also noticing the huge innercooler and funky hood i realized it was an Evo. Well as we both merged on the highway I was wide open, 13 psi boost, 3rd gear, 80 mph and still pulling hard when the Evo came around me and passed me like i was chained to a pole. The turbo, bov and exhaust was so friggin loud it made my ears ring!
So i was wondering, how much is an Evo VIII and how fast are they? It didnt look (or sound stock).

Hey i was impressed....

sad thing is in The Fast and the Furious 2, a v6 Convertable eclipse was able to keep up with it... and i saw the same eclipse that was in the movie at universal several times (Year Pass Holder) and the eclipse quarter mile time was a 15.8 LOL sad.... welcome to movie magic.

 

id want one if thay came in a coupe.... 4 doors is ugly

I had the chance to buy an EVO and didnt
Stupid Stupid Stupid ...

Oh well... I really do like my SS

 

Yeah the evo has a good 70 HP on you..

 

evo's are fast and sexy cars. no other car can compete with it in it's class. an STi comes very close to it though. but i would choose an evo over it. can't wait till i get my fat raise next year. gonna think about selling my car and get me an evoIX.

 

wow $31K for that thing! better of buying a GTO

 

i would take a evo over a gto, thats just me though, and i think it looks good with the 4 doors, plus youll be glad when it comes to insurance quotes

 

starting at 31 is more like it, they had 3 at a local dealer of mine for $34,000 and change.

 

Yea after he flew by me we slowed down and he was looking at my car. yea his was faster but I still think the SS looks alot better. He gave me the ol "thumbs up" so I dont know if it was a "hey im faster that you" or "nice car"

evo's start at $28,500 over here for the RS. the evo VII is starts at $30,700 and the evo MR edition starts at over $35,000.

 

 

haha nice, I never knew it has a wiper on the rear window.

 

If its still stock
Most the ones around here aren't

 

same thing i say about the srt-4's.... what EVO is stock??

 

true, but then i know plenty of evo owners and none of them are stock either.

besides even if the evo is stock, it's gonna take more than cai, header, exhaust, pulley kit, etc. to beat an evo.

 

Refer to post #6...

 

^^^that sucks man, what was the opportunity? or price i should say u were gonna get it for?

 

yeah, i read it man, but i didn't want to reply to it cuz it would just make you sad again.

if the evo was in my price range i would have definently got it.

 

Well I normally have a project car (IE, 69 911S, 66 911, 70 911T)... well when I sold the last one I made quite a bit of money on it. So at first I had decided to not use it on another project but instead towards a big down payment... Looked at Vette, Lexus, Benz, BMWs etc... Then decided to keep and little and spend a little... Looked at Evo, STI, R32, and Supra TT (a good low mileage one)... Fell in love with the Evo.. Was going to buy it... The day before I was going to go do the paperwork and pick it up I found a 1972 911S I couldnt pass up on. So I decided to get the SS/SC and the 911..... So instead of having 1 money pit (Evo) ... I have 2... Exactly where I didnt want to be again...
