Well if this guy lost someone, I am sorry. But, if he just dropped $16k on belts and mounts than hes definately not poor.

Some people think the same about Evo owners, i.e., that they think their car is better than any other car out there in the whole wide world

Wow, i never expected responses like this. Just trying to suggest how strong the Evo is, in case anyone was wondering. I'll answer any questions you want. I've quoted some peeps and hopefully that will make everyone happy.

Side note: I dont think I have any pics of me and the car, but here are the pics that i took to sell it: Here

And here is the eBay auction, incase anyone wants to buy it! lol.

If you really dislike it that much I'm sure someone on this board is willing to take it from you, including me.
Lol, no gun. A guy in CA owed me a lot of money and I talked him into handing it over. I'll admit that the circumstances may skew my perceptions a little, since i'd rather just have my money (the sale of the car will not cover the total amount owed, due to the lein, repairs, etc.). But i did try to base my findings on the driving experience.

I'm the first to admit that the car is dead sexy. This one is a 6sp manual, not the F1 auto clutch/trans.

Like i said, no pics with me, but I have plenty along with the auction. I don't really care of you believe me or not, just my driving opinions in case anyone was wondering how the evo stacks up to an exotic.

Hey man! Hows your car running?

+1 for the RS. That thing is the sickness. Perhaps one day! If i get all my money back. Lol.

Gay, i dont care how long these guys have been making cars. They have a lot of people (including you) and people with too much money fooled. That thing is a kit car. The fit and finish is about as good as a Yugo. I'd rather have a car put together by a robot any day.

My good friend had a 360 challange and he had nothing but problems. $40k in repairs and a motor later he took a huge loss in selling it. It was fast when it was running, but i put more laps on my street evo than most race cars last season and I didn't have a single problem.

The simple truth is that the Ferarr (is that a better pet name) is over rated, IMO. You can like it or not, i dont care.

I wouldn't believe a guy who drives an EVO that looks like this.



erich's EVO is very well set-up, he's just low-key. He makes good stock turbo power and his suspension was developed with one of the best EVO race shop in the country.

Lol. Thanks for the vouch. Yeah, the 20's aren't helping anything.
