Talking Hi newbie here

sup people...I'm a newbie here. I was looking for a place to find more info on the Evo's. I looked at one the other day. I might be getting one but the sales person, being a sales person, I think is giving me a line of crap. First he said that the an EVO, off the production line, dynoed at 320 rwhp...which I find hard to believe. And I just saw a dyno at a magazine showing 250 rwhp. Ofcourse when he finds me a yellow one, I think I might say that I won't buy the car until he proves to me that the car makes 320rwhp But anway, is there any merit in his claim of a stock EVO making 320rwhp or he is just full of ****

Welcome Paul!!!

I don't think what the guy is telling you is correct.

If you do a search, you will be able to find numbers ranging from 180whp with 91gas to around 240whp. good information on those posts.

There have been several posts about this.

kinda figured that he was just trying to feed me a line there but I will still ask for the same thing. Though I may wait for the 04 to come out and see what kind of improvements they will make, hopefully a 6 speed would be nice.

its funny how dealers/salesmen think alot of buyers are stupid, with no knowledge under the hood.

when i first got our civic back in 2000, the dealer was feeding me shyt with alot of bogus information such as me beating a mustang on stock. it seems nowadays they'll do anything to sell a car.

its funny how i shut him up by telling him all the specs and info. (can't say i know alot about the Lancer cuz i just just recently got into it). he didn't say anything after that, he had that look on his face that he was stupid. hahahahaha
