The Evo 7 and 6 are in an entire different class of Sports Car, not without MAJOR reconfigurations will the Evo 8 ever been mentioned in the same breath. The design isn't classic, or timeless or cutting edge, it's butt-ugly from grill to altezza's. Sorry but it's the truth, when they designed the Evo 8 the designer was on crack
Dude why are you even on this site since you hunger for an SRT go to there boards and stop bashing a car you know nothing about by driving or owning any of the cars you mention above.

Come on, like traction control makes a car so much more fun to drive? The mechanical linkage is what makes the car so damn fun. Oh well, I guess the grass IS always greener on the other side for some people....

Oh, I see what's going on here.
1.) I didn't read to catch the guy's mistake.
2.) The guy made a mistake and didn't properly quote, therefore I thought it was what he said instead of a quote.
3.) I should have read page 2 again to catch it.

How is the clutch weak? How does paint affect the performance of a sports car except for weight (in that case, we perform better because ours is so thin)? And what is so Super about Super-AYC?

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a traction control device at all.
Why don't you call a limited slip differential a "non-traction control" device while you are at it.

you are in fact confusing Mitsu with SUBARU AND PUEGEOT.
Subaru won 3 WRC championships in a row in the 90's. Puegeot has won 3 in a row recently, and 2 in a row in the 80's... for a total of 5. Mitsubishi has won one title. in 1998.
crap like that bums me out.
yes, lets see if they can "touch that milestone"
