----------> So why did you make this thread in the first place, SINCE you have an answer to the Original question you posted? <------------
Dude.....I suggest that it is not such a smart thing; to come on Any enthusiast's site and say that their particular car is "supposed to feel slow"....you are asking for ridicule and to be labled a .....TROLL.....we all do dumb things from time to time, maybe you should start over with another post or something.....

and if you actually read, I didn't say that your car is "supposed to feel slow," I ASKED if the car was supposed to feel slow. read the paragraph a few times

BTW thanks for the quick replies to the people who are helping me. I'll let you guys know how the test drive in the 03 goes. I really want an evo and I think that the dealership was trying to sell me a busted evo. That's probably the reason it's been sitting on their lot for months

If the car is running normal youll drive it and want it. I only say that because I really wanted an STi (dont hate lol) and I was test driving them around for weeks then I figured id check out a few Evos and the very first one I bought right after the test drive. They really are amazing to drive

how much slower? what's the 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile of a stock 2003? are there any differences between the 03, 04, and 05 performance-wise? are the 2003s worth 20k with high mileage? thanks for the help

what i suggest you do is go test drive a new stock evo at a dealership if possible, and then you can then you can get an understanding for what they should feel like (noises, feel, etc)

Not so sure bout the price. I paid $21k for my 03 with 12k on it and that was 2 years ago when the 03 was still going on average for about $26k

lets put it this way, if an IX raced a 03 viii it would be a drivers race, and the race would be probably be determined in the launch. to me a few tenths of a seconds isnt a huge difference in quickness. good luck with your upcoming test drive, im sure you will be happy to see how nice the car feels when its healthy

Wrong wrong wrong. I currently own an SRT-4 and an Evo. The reason I bought the Evo after already owning an SRT-4 is because it felt so much faster in the test drive even with the salesperson in the car. I like both cars but your making an error in thinking your a human dyno based on perceived torque. What dealership was it? What mitsu dealership only has only one Evo?

whattt!!!!
Hey guys. I just joined a few days ago. I'm really interested in Lancer Evolutions and just got to test one for the first time earlier today. It was a IX 2006 with 12k miles. The only comparable car I've driven is a Dodge SRT-4, which is supposed to be considerably slower than a Lancer Evo.
The car was in nice condition, but something worried me: as soon as we took off, the car was making a really weird whining noise, almost similar to a supercharger. It did it at low and high RPMs. I asked the dealership salesman what the noise was and he said it was the turbo. Hmm. Turbos aren't supposed to
Are Lancer Evos supposed to "feel" slow due to their AWD and supreme handling, or is something wrong with this car? I left the place disgusted and even turned down an excellent deal on the car because it felt like it was a damn family sedan.
I personally think there was something wrong with it. Are Evos supposed to feel faster than an SRT-4 or what? There's no reason to drop $26k on an Evo if I can get an SRT-4 for $13k in my location with the SRT-4 feeling faster.
Is the high pitched whining noise in the Evo normal? I want to know these things before I give up on getting an Evo. Thanks for your time.

what comparing a viper on dippers AKA srt-4, that thing is not even close to be compared with an Evo is a different type of car, now if you compare an sti with an evo i can understand that, my bud has an srt-4 i spank him every time we get out of work 3rd gear pulls 2nd 4th launched all day long Evo spanking srt-4 (viper on dippers)
