I just recently started working for a Mitsubushi dealership here in Tucson AZ and of course they want you to drive all the cars to get a feel for what your selling right? Well of course i wanted to drive the Lancer EVO to see what all the import hype was about. Well i get in the thing and say to myself....what the crap can this little piece of crap do? My manager told me to take it to this road that's known for it's curves. So as soon as i get out of the dealership i punch it in second. WOW!!!! Let me tell you...this thing threw me back so hard. HONESTLY... i didn't expect anything like that from a LANCER. Then i get to the curvey road and it handles like a beast! Well to make a REALLY long story just long, Honestly these things will give a GT a run for it's money out the box. I didn't believe it till i drove it. I'm a hardcore Mustang guy and will always be but damn when somethings fast i have to give it credit, and that things really got some pickup. Now i would never buy one of course, that would be insane!!! But I feel bad for having this guilty pleasure! hahahahahaha. MUSTANGS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well seeing how Lancer makes the best rally cars in the world, I'm not surprized at the performance. I drove a 750 HP lancer at Laguna Seca and it out performed all the other cars on the track. Dam I love "gran tourismo 3". LOL:hello2:

 

If i didnt have a mustang..I would have a blue evo

 

EVO's are awesome performers, but you would have to take the "ironing board" off the trunk before I would be seen in one! I f I had to have a Ricer I would pick the STI over the EVO based on looks. :glasses1:

 

I work at a Acura dealership and the guilty pleasure I have is driving the 90,000 dollar 175mph Acura Nsx.

 

It will spank a GT in any performance category stock vs stock, not just give it a run for its money.

 

LOL this is an argument that bob and I have been having in the office for a few weeks now, can the Lancer beat a GT at the track? I say yes, but only slightly, bobby disagrees.

I personally LOVE Lancers. I would love to get my hands on an EVO VIII if I had the chance.
