But anyways i raced him 2times from a 30roll i pulled about 3cars on him both times.
if you pulled that hard on him, there are a few reasons why this would happen.

Assuming he does have a bigger turbo, the tune might be crap. He also may not know how to drive it. Obviously the only way to tell would be to take it to the track. Second, assuming he has a stock turbo with a nice intake (makes the turbo sound larger than it might actually be), I can definitely see why u beat him.

Would make more sense if you actually made fun of what mivec is instead of thinking its like vtec.

I like evo's, i even considered buying a VIII when they came out, til my friend bought one and it spent more time in my garage than my own car did.... Id seen that before, with my GS-T.

That being said, i still like them. I had the chance to buy a perfect condition Talon TSI for $2k not long ago, built motor, running, just no turbo(he took whatever was on it off to use on his new car)... i thought long and hard about it but just didnt want another problem.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Most people that dont know what they are talking about have lots of them.

And just because your old and busted DSM had whatever problems it had doesnt mean that Mitsubishi's suck. If you did indeed own one, you know the potential.

I know the potential... hence why i said i had a hard time walking away from a great deal. Also doesnt change the fact that 90% of mitsu cars arent very reliable, ive watched friends with galants to eclipses have problems. DSMs did earn their reputation for a reason....

I also have beef with LT1s, 2v mustangs, a lot of nissans, and pretty much all chevy and dodge interiors. Oh and my 10 bolt... Yeah i do have a lot of opinions.

Oh but thats all just opinion, no fact there.

Please the second you want to come off riding your EVOs **** and actually have a level headed un-biased discussion, let me know.


Edit: and just because i think something is a nightmare to maintain or work on, doesnt mean i dont like them.

Yup, im riding the Evo ****. Please dude, flaunt your e-douchery somewhere else because i dont really care. Your opinions on Mitsubishi's atleast will be taken with a grain of salt. Your attacking me, means nothing.

I believe you first started with, " Most people that dont know what they are talking about have lots of them. "

Lest we forget how this began....

Actually, you really do care. No sense in denying it.


Oh and at least i know that Mivec and Vtec are pretty much the same damn thing. Meanwhile you think its not even close to the same thing as vtec. VVT is VVT, no matter how you brand it.

I know the potential. Great car that Evo is. I enjoyed every minute of it, until I got the engine built. After that the reliability and driveability went out the window. I expected it tho.
