good thing i'm too lazy to read the sti thread...lol

anywayz, Evo 8 is something you would not want to mess with off the line if the opposition knows how to drive manual. On the freeway, i almost got nailed by one. Good thing we got more torque and hp at bay.

How could anyone even consider a Mistubishi after that embarrassing lawsuit they went through a few years back due to their shoddy manufacturing practices?

Unbeleivable!

currently c240
lets see....

My very good friend has a black evo 8, very rare color, and when i had my c32 i raced him, he gave me a diesent match from 0-60, Then after that i pulled away so fast he didn't know where i went. Dont forget we got leather seats, luxury and 349HP AND 332 TORQUE!!! and he even knew i would smoke him and i did
no questions asked c32 will come out top either way

As long as you don't live in the U.S. Mistubishi is afraid to import a real perfomance car.

I would take the Sti over the EVO8. The interior of the EVO8 is so cheap, it's not even funny. But, I do have to admit, the car is very good on the road course.

New Car around $30K...
My ranking:
1st. - Sti - Fastest
2nd. - 350Z - Sexiest
3rd. - EVO8 - track worthy

now mitsubishi aint bad, because my mitsubisho 4x4 Pajero/ montero quality is good, i have no problems so far with it however it is $AUD 60,000 ,

my pick out of all Ricers would be

1st: R34 Skyline GTR
2nd: EVO VII
3rd: 350Z

But nothing beats the german cars...
