But anyway, I'd take a '05 mustang, those things are hot. My business partner is going to get a '05 GT and send that thing off to bonspeed. Did you see the bonspeed Black Rose? THat thing is hot. I think I'll sleal it a couple days a week. Still not better than the Lancer though.

thanks for the correction. I don't like being wrong, but it's worse to be wrong and be the only person who doesn't know it :-p

 

Other than the STI, there really isn't a car comparable to the EVO's performance in it's price range. Sure there are some cars that are quicker or faster, but they still can't match the EVOs all around performance numbers. You'd have to go up to $40,000 and above before a car can touch an EVO stock for stock.

 

AUDI RS3 V6 Bi-turbo AWD DSGII gearbox 350hp... coming in 2006. It is not a coupe but it will be fast!

 

3000ways, I think you're right. And that seems to be the common opinion. The only other car I'd buy (except an STi, if there was no EVO) would be a GT-R. And to be completely honest, I might trade in a Lancer for a GT-R. But in America, there is no comparison, especially in the price range. I could have just as easily got an M3, but honestly if they were both the same price, I'd take the Lancer. It's just more my style I guess.

 

comparable = lotus elise ofcourse...that thing is bad ***

as for another car i would wantin my driveway..G35..man i luve the way that thing looks...if i were into sport/luxury i would buy that thing...

evo=weekend racer
g35=everyday commute...

 

I'm getting an Evo for my everyday commute. The G35 is nice, almost bought one, may still buy one. Not waiting until Feb.

 

Silvia S15 ,power,price range,250hp black top SR20DET engine

 

As I stated in an earlier post, there is supposedly a new sport package coming out that offers 300hp...

 

Yes I agree, the TL is a really monster in the road while being luxrious at the same time.

 

I also think the Jetta Vr6 is a good comparsion.

 

In answer to and earlier post, the 350Z 35th Anniversary Edition is coming out in early 2005 with a bump to 300 hp. I guess the G35C is getting that engine too.

 

The Acura RL is the 300hp, AWD monster.

 

M3 is the most comparable out of all those coupes, the M3 is in A-Class for autoX, so is the evo

 

Wow... Bravo guys. A discussion without pissing on each others opinions! Now this is readable. A big for all of you.

Personally, I see the EVO as a family sports car. But the kids in the back and drive it like you stole it. Great family hauler.

But a coupe to match, hmm, good question there are two ways you could go. Keeping within the same price class, cause we have an EVO already. I would think for fuel efficiency maybe a Si, but that isn't ussually how I think. I want something with great handling and descent power. I think the Elise stacks up pretty well for the quick juant to the store for diapers or blockbuster. Pretty descent gas mileage too but the looks are pretty aggressive and the price is a little steep. Maybe a mazdaspeed miata? Pretty cheap and tunable? with the turbo? I would probably go elise though.

Not that the 350/G35 is a bad car, I just see way too many of them.

Let's not kid ourselves with Porches and other exotics, because we all know a Ferrari 575 with F1 and that awesome V12 is about the best coupe there is.

Good points k_fabec.
The threads I start tend to be more civilized.

I the the Miata is too expensive too. You add some options, and it's in the mid 20's all the sudden! Hell, I can get a S2000 if I wanna pay $29k. But both of those options, along with the 350Z and Vette are too impractical for me if it's my only car. I just need a back seat sometimes!
Now, in a perfect world, I could keep the Evo and pick up a coupe for better mileage and still have a fun aggressive ride, but nothing is perfect.
