LanEvo Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 answer the following: Is there a car besides the Lancer Evolution that can be so good but only cost $32,000 usd? Is there a car that have as much modding potentials as the Lancer Evolution? and is there a car that combines both straight road power, turning agility, the good look, light weight, low price and the modding ability as the Lancer Evolution? and PLEASE go to this site: http://www.granturismo.com/dumbcars/index....&dumbcar_id=490 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Shush Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 probably get a corvette used for that price. don't know how it would do in 0-60 times, but top speed would be great. Lot of mods for it too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWKC Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 The new WRX,STI is you answer.!!!! JWKC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosupra1 Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 I know that the WRX is faster than the Lancer (by 10 or 15 hp) but the Lancer makes up for this handlingwise..... However, i have no idea how much it costs (used). Those, in my opinion, are two of the best Japanese cars out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuchG Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Nissan Skyline for me...but they cost too much....Subaru out of the all the others in the price range though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handling should be improved heavily, and I wonder if you can get these cars as fast as the EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroSpec GTi 16v Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 I hope he wakes up from this dream that the EVO is not the best car in the world and in no way could it take on the world of cars out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatwhiteshark000 Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 I am to lazy so stat me up Lotus. I dont know the stats of Lancer or EVo, what are they 0-60 in 4.8 i think? I am not saying they are bad cars, they just aren't available over here in the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 lol.. lotus, for 8 grand, you can make a f body kill an evo ( on road ) in every possible way.. but, ill actually kinda agree with lan evo here.. ive driven an evo 6, and its hella fun.. i love that car,.. i think its *one* of the best production cars on the road, but far from the best.

I am not saying they are bad cars, they just aren't available over here in the West. 0-60 in 4.3-4.6 sec Top speed limited to 112mph, could hit 135 ungoverned (remember that it's geared for acceleration and that the body add-ons actually add significant amounts of downforce) Braking from 60-0 in 108 feet Skidpad rating anywhere from 0.92g-1.02g With the current exchange rates, a new Lancer EVO VI GSR can be picked up for the equivalent of $24k USD in New Zealand. In Japan it runs anywhere from $28k-$32k. Given the choice between an EVO VI, a Vette, or an F-body running with a series of band-aids, I'd pick the EVO VI. If it gives you any idea, even Shaman said that he'd have a Lancer if they were imported (and that's a possibility now that the base WRX is coming here).

Clement Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 The UK has the baddest versions of the EVO though. The RS Sprint, the Extreme, just to name a few. Remeber that over in the UK, there's NO 280ps restriction like there is in Japan The RS Sprint has 330bhp and does 60 in 4.2s (not lying here! Directly off a Mitsubishi ad on a UK magazine). Oh, the Extreme has even more horsepower and even faster Max power: 340 bhp at 6500 rpm Max torque: 303 lb ft at 3000 rpm Max speed: 155 mph 0-60 mph: 4.0 seconds (estimated) 0-100 mph: 10 seconds (estimated) See the Extreme's review @ http://www.4car.co.uk/jsp/main.jsp?lnk=230&pageid=112 [Edited by Clement on 12-13-2000 at 06:30 PM] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
