Playboy names EvoMR best 2005 Tuner Car of the Year

Just got my Playboy magazine and they named the Evo MR as the best tuner car of 2005. Sorry, no scans, my computer isn't working right.

"Tuner cars are defined by having the right pieces. That's how the breed started; California kids took their old Hondas and shopped for parts that would make them mini-monsters. The $34,199 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR has all the pieces right out of the box. Fast and furious, it comes from the dealer tuned for a run at the Monte Carlo Rally. High performance starts with a turbocharged two-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 276 hp and 286 foot-pounds of torque (zero to 60 in less than five seconds). The six-speed transmission responds to quick, even reckless, inputs from the pedals. The Bilstein high-performance shocks keep the Evo dead flat in corners; the Vortex roof spoilers increase downforce and look tough. Large Brembo ventilated disc brakes and wide, sticky Yokohama tires add stop and grip to the performance package. We slammed the Evo around a racecourse near Baton Rouge in torrential rain. The car stuck like a leech."
