believe me you wouldnt be saying that if you owned one lol, i love them too, but i dont like the idea of the gargantuan repair costs and the horrible reliability, they are all imported in bad condition.
the 2jz engine si much more reliable, however its still a handful...

ROFL LOLOLOL!
I hate to break it to you, but built evo's run 8's in the 1/4 mile. Stock turbo evo's can run low 11's. The evo is the best tuner platform money can buy, period. Sorry to pop ur lnf bubble.
It doesnt justify anyone who owns one being an ass, however facts are facts. AWD, unlimited aftermarket, stock suspension that beats out cars 2x its pricetag. Yea, u really dont get a better tuner than that.
Honestly, Ive seen 500+ whp evo's that rev all the way to 10k and make power through THE ENTIRE POWERBAND. Check this one out:
http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-dyn...turbotrix.html
^this particular engine revs to 9k, and was built to do such. He is currently looking into a turbo upgrade to make more power on it. This is his DD as well.
Anything you want to do, its possible with an evo. And its AWD.

Just like there's a few evos that run 8's in the 1/4 mile.
Wow. I guess it's cool and all having a fast car...but why not get your own hands dirty so you can be proud of what you've done instead of paying someone to do it all for you?
Honestly I've seen geo metro's with 500+whp. What is your point.

Uh-o. Just when you think the thread cant get worse. It does. 1Bad as i said before, dont become "one of them" Evo owners. Its bad enough to put up with it on the **** forum we call EvoM, but on a message board with members owning a rival car - it just aint happenin man.
And BTW, i saw some of your threads on what you are looking to purchase - dont. That ebay exhaust is junk. The only people promoting the ebay exhausts are the ones that own them. If you want power - you need to fork up a check made out to Buschur Racing or AMS Performance and be done with it.

bahahahah love cobalts and all
but there has never been a lsj cobalt to run in the 8s
fastest cobalt ever ran a 8.96 and it was a non-street legal 2.2 race motor.
i own a cobalt myself yet will tell you that evos will beat a cobalt down the drag strip anytime anyday. the reason i have a cobalt is cuz i couldnt afford an evo

I didn't say it had the s/c on it or didn't have any internal work done to it......but neither do the god given evos that run 8's that he's trying to talk smack with either.

your on crack if you think the EVO is the best tuner car money can buy.
Best tuner car money could buy..lets think of a few
DSM? 240SX? a hatch civic? all those cars can get faster for cheaper then a evo. thus being a better "buy"
and we know you wont do any of that, just like in your CSRT

lets see, dsm.... Hmmmm, I wonder what car originated from dsm? O, thats right, the EVO.
And 240sx? LOL. Its easier to make an evo hit better numbers AND outperform the 240 sx in the corners. No engine swaps needed on the evo either.
As for the honda civic. Sure, it has the biggest aftermarket, however can u make a 10 second civic perform as good in ALL driving conditions to include auto-x and rally as a 10 sec evo built to do the same? I dont think so.
And I will be doing all of it BECAUSE there is an aftermarket demand. I already dumped 2k+ into the CSRT what the hell would stop me from dumping 2k+ into the evo and making 400+ whp huh smart ass?
Thats what I had thought.
I said MONEY CAN BUY. If I wanted a cheap POS I would get a $500 civic rust bucket.

If you go mod for mod between a X and a IX, the X will lose almost every time. You will make better power than the IX up to a point, but the porkiness of the X will hold it back in a straight line. However, when the road gets curvy, i can tell you that my X would carve up my IX MR any day of the week.

When it comes to drag racing, I think minor bolt ons the X wins. In the twists, Im pretty sure the IX is a touch better.

egh, are u sure about that? The primary complaint of the X owners is the fact that mitsu is moving away from the rally base into a more comfortable cruiser that doesnt handle quite as good.

After owning both, yes i can say that all with certainty. The X will carve up any predecessor and that only amplifies with handling mods.
The X is some 300 pounds heavier and it shows in the straights.

give your god damn head a shake, seriously. there are better cars for the money.
Oh and best bang for the buck usally refers to a budget. You spent more on your used car then i spent on my new car. thats cheap huh?
2 grand in your CSRT? holy **** you got ripped off on whatever parts you did, considering your turd wagon was still slower then my car with 500 dollars of mods in it.
Congradulations, you went from being a opinionated person that i put up with, to a complete total tool bag.

Your such a tool, PMing me about finding tuning solutions for the CSRT-4 world, bailing on them buying a evo and thinking your now driving the BEST CAR EVER MADE!!!

better cars for the money... Thats subject to interpretation, and never did I say "best car for the money" or "best bang for the buck". Those are your words. Maybe you should shake youre head a little because it seems to me you werent shaken enough as a kid.
and how would u know the CSRT is slower? With my mods the CSRT is seeing 340 whp with a powerband that makes ur turd tune look like a ******* joke. Not to mention IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE TUNING SOFTWARE. What the hell is your excuse on ur shitty ass powerband? You have no PCM limitations, so whats the excuse?
Im really glad to see your true colors as a dousche bag vendor. I will be sure to post your apathy toward calibers wherever I can.
thats interesting

C'mon people theres no point to arguing about what car is best, theres always gonna be someone faster, and someone with a better car than you, its a fact. I know my SS/TC will never stand up to a built Evo but do i go bash them? hell no! im a car enthusiast, i appreciate a nice looking fast car no matter what it is, unless the person did no work on it himself, then that is gay. Just my opinion.

WRX vs EVO hmmmmmmmmm -for a tuner car 1bad buys a cheap ass csrt4 then brags bout his failure mistake and now claims he owns gods car,
A built STI would pwn your evos period < I would like to see an evo make a 200 FT JUMP on a sand dune and still be 100 % drivable afterwards , **** i would like to see an evo drive off after hitting a pothole ..
LSJ's have run 8s but I am not going to bother to research the tube to show how you praise a car you know nothing about yet ..
awd has more linkage and the brings more potential for failure and you can brag about after market all you want but I won't even go into the cost of building an 8 second evo that runs more then one pass without blowing axles and awd components or even sti's for that matter ..

lol. To think I tried to help sell your junk to the CSRT community. I will be sure to post this to the CSRT community so they dont ask to buy ur garbage parts. Obviously ur a cobalt fanboi nutswinger just like the 16 r old assclowns who get their TC from mommy and daddy as their first car.

Go ahead? im not even a vendor. Junk? you mean popular name brand stuff right? guess thats crap.
I make 10 more whp and what 100 wtq more then your turd wagon and weight less? congrats my cars faster. Go play with your evo kids now mmmk.
As for a cobalt fan boy, apparently you dont take alot of time to read this forums, im very realistic when it comes to vehicles. I know evo's are good but they not by far best car for the money.
pull your head out of your ass, or trade your mighty evo in for a GTO, youd fit in more there
since your on the topic of fanboys. maybe you should take the time and look in a mirror. lets start with the CSRT-4 you repped sooo hard, now a evo? you rep it even harder..yup band wagon jumping fan boy, let me guess your favorite NFL team every year is the one that won the superbowl the prior year right? your that type of guy
im done with you and your jokes.

the reason half the evo and sti owners are so frowned upon is because 90% of the work done on them are from established shops and not guys with a tool box in their garages a tuner car is something you can tune and modify yourself with smaller effort and smaller bank accounts .

Again, most of what you post is purely personal bias and objective. For every story of an STI > Evo story, I can come up with an Evo > STI story. Same thing with the 8 second lsj's. Same thing for the "potential of failure" in the awd components. Until you own these cars, and race these cars, and experience these issues or downfalls, what you say means next to nothing. Speculation and some internet stories and videos do not equate to knowledge kiddo.
