i mean if u guys think a evo is a ricer or a cheap car u guys gotta be kidding. u guys r the ppl who prob use 100dollars bills to clean ur asses. a 30,000$ car is not considered cheap. it's called being smart and gettin THE best value for ur money. yea i understand there r people with lots of money and they have nothing 2 do with but buy themselves good things which is perfectly acceptable, but what i don't like is ppl making fun of cars because 1. it's cheaper 2. its japanese 3. it doesn't have wood.
the evo comes with leather, sunroof, infinity soundsystem w/woofer, AWD, and loads of extras. ppl who buy evos are buying them becauuse of their RAW power, not because they're cheap. have you drivin an evo? have you driven a go kart? i'm guessing 99% of u havnt because you come from a society where money is everything. money can't buy love. money can't buy a family. n e wayz i'm just saying a mitsu is as awesome a car as the cls55, if not better, because of hte price difference. back to the go cart point. the evo is the most lethal handling car in the world in stock production. it's amazing and it's one of its best selling points. it's not the speed that matters, in fact it's the speed that kills. it's the handling that matters, because in the end handling will either let you live or make u spin out and hit a tree, and with an evo the handling is pretty impressive. i say u guys with teh money buy a evo. it's not gonna dent ur pocket, and trust me when i say this, it'll change ur mind. don't worry about the looks. worry about the car. JUST BUY IT. u guys r rich enuff if u can afford a 90k car. buy this one and test it urself. u don't have to take it 2 dinner, take ur cls55 and get it valet parked, but take it for midafternoon spins, or weekend getaways at the track. life will be much better
haha
peace
EVO/STI, etc... Those cars RATTLE like there is no tomorrow. Noisey, noisey, noisey. If your on this board, your willing to pay a little something for the quiteness (when appropriate) and the noise (engine in AMG v.s drivetrain in Evo). Prior posters were right in that the Evo might be a "small" challange up to about 70MPH but after taht they drop of FAST. Have a buddy with a 335HP STi. Could hang with my CLK55 until... it got over 80MPH and then the CLK55 started to walk away. Similar HP, Sti is lighter but the torque and displacement on the CLK55 took over at that point

That was not a fair race stck for stck on a roll.If we are just comparing all out performance my modded Eagle Talon would rape anything 5.5L.The Talon is a spin off from the EVO Lancer lll. PS I don't have any drivetrain noise and neither does an EVO .Go figure!
