A word on the EVO,

I would like to address a couple of things here.
First if you want a new evo and are getting in to the whole, what my car can do for $1,500 talk, then know that Mitsu is relentless with voiding warranty on those cars. Stay out of SCCA because they have been known to cross search names with claims and cut you off.
Like intenseblue said, they are great cars at what they do stock and the 4g63 is like 13 years old so parts are out there. You can even search DSM forums. If you want to talk about smoking someone with your built car to there stock than you are making a somewhat null point. Why not buy a base anything and dump loads of money into it right? The crossfire is a whole different market segment and really does offer more than a race. I would guess no one here bought it for a race car. And from experience, definitely test drive a few times first to listen to the noise levels if you can break the attention from the go-cart handling. And I do like the front end style. Out of the four friends of mine that ran out and bought them when they hit here, none of them own them now due to compromise, which of course all cars have.
Oh, and who here has ever bought a car and been asked if their Penile size was in spec first???
