 What year?
And whydja go with the 95LT1 over a fox? 
Still don't like the front ends on the 94-97?
The sunken in headlights...
Didn't like the firebirds fronts back then either.
I was gonna get the Fox after I had the LT1, prior to the LS1. It was running 7.70's all motor here at our local track...it was driven on the street, but just wasn't practical. I REALLY wanted this car, guy couldn't get the title for it so we didn't buy it.
Oh ****, Yeah I think I remember this now.
Did you have a big post about this like a couple months back?
Think the car was on the side of the road or something in the pics

I finally registered just so I can respond to this thread.
The EVO is and always will be a "vastly superior" car to the Mustang.
There is MUCH more to a car than accelerating in a straight line.
The Evo 8 will outhandle any other vehicle even remotely in the same price range.
It also makes close to 300hp from a 2-liter 4-cylinder, even if they use boost to do it.
They are more technologically advanced than any vehicle produced by any domestic manufacturer. I wish I knew more about roll-centers, and traction and physics in general so I could explain to you guys how incredible those things really are.
I have nothing against Mustangs at all. I am carless at the moment, but my next car will be a '99-'01 Cobra, hopefully in a couple of weeks.
I'm not trying to bash Mustangs, but if you're a real car enthusiast, you should appreciate the Lancer Evolution.

Just wonderin, but why do you do that in all your posts?(pics)
Oh, and to the Evo guy.
My car is going to be more biased towards turning than straight line.
I love sticking to the road

that was the dumbest comment that I've ever read...quit tryin to up ur post count with comments like that...what I posted was true
LOL okay, but "what I posted was true" too.  At least that's how you come off when somebody chimes in (totally peacefully), and you try to shut them down w/ something like "before you start running your mouth." Don't be a dick for no reason, and you won't get called an asshole anymore. ..... (at least by me)
yea I admit that I prolly did come off as an A-hole ...I was having a bad day and when that person said that about the evo makin out like it was a tin can on wheels that set me off lol...ppl just gotta realize that not call cars were made for dragracing

All cares were made for drag racing.
Don't want to hear any "If's, An's, or But's" about it.

No harm, no foul. Glad to have you back in the land of the good guys. I know what you're getting at, and I think most people are on your side. Even though it's fun to poke fun at the "little import Evo" we still give it props for what it is. If you had asked me 5 years ago if Mitsubishi would come out w/ a 13 second Lancer stock, I'd have told them they were full of crap. .... Well, I'm glad nobody ever told me that, because now I'd be eating my words. We just tend to think the American cars are superior, and the Evo guys think the imports are superior. Just two schools of thought. The cars are not really even in the same class though, so it's apples to oranges anyway. But hey, an apple a day will keep to doctor away, and nothing beats scurvy like a nice ripe orange. LOL (that was pretty gay)

I hate to do it to you Obsol3te, but if you concur w/ his statement, that means you agree with him, not the other way around.

I'm going to give you a but anyway.
Not all cars are built for straight line dragging. if that were so then the S2000 wouldn't NEED the near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, or the race inspired suspension setup. It's meant to corner, the perks are that it can get down teh 1/4 in 14 some odd seconds. but that is not it's sole purpose as an automobile.

LOL I debated on weather or not I was even going to say something, but then I figured "better here w/ the guys, than in front of your girls parents" Oh, and I suck at the espanyol too. ;) (to the spanish guys, I know it's spelled wrong, but it sounds right, and I have no above character tilda.)

The only reason everybody is talking about the EVO sucking in drag race is because the video clip was of a drag race. Theres probably some EVO board somewhere with a clip of a Z28 vs an EVO and the EVO kills the Z28 and the people are saying how Z28's cant handle for **** and they suck. Lets face it the most common form of racing is drag racing because you can do it wherever you want whenever you want. I agree that not all cars are built for dragging but almost every single car trys to drag race at one time or another thats why domestics are extremely popular to drag racers.

Exactly.
But anyway, the Evo did ok against a car with an 80+ horsepower advantage, even if it weighs 5,000 pounds
Just going by that, I'm not ever gonna listen to anything you say again.

I second that. And you said they were going from a roll so that not drag racing well then whats it called when you go from a roll I still consider that drag racing.
