LOL. I wanna see an Evo race a Ford GT. That would be a flat out @$$ kicking!!

Post on a Ford GT forum about an Evo kill and they'd probably laugh you off of the internet!!

It will hurt the Lancer's high-speed acceleration slightly but from his story, it doesn't sound like he does much of that anyways.

The real question is does any Evo get driven hard enough and fast enough to take advantage of the rear wing? My best guess: 95% do not. I would revise your statement above to read: "Posers should not drive Evolutions...it serves NO purpose besides looks and is a waste of a perfectly good sports sedan. You belong in a Saturn."

You're calling me a poser huh...good one dumbass. Calling the guy who actually owns a Evo with a sh*tload of mods a poser...but defend the guy complaining about attention from putting an Evo wing on a regular Lancer.

You'd have to be in dire need of attention to own an EVO and come to the RA forum to sh*t on RA owners heads instead of going out and drive the EVO.

That would get you some attention though... but I can't see what positive impact it would have on your life. Then again, some peeps need to spit on others to keep their ego happy.

Never mind the guy bro... he just has issues with the fact that your 18k car may resemble his 30k EVO too much. Maybe some owners bought the EVO for it's looks I guess... A Porsche would be a better choice in that case. Maybe sell the EVO to someone who has no issue with it looking like the rest of the Lancer family?

I don't think he called you anything, but he did bring up a valid point about taking shots at people... because of all things, the wing on their car.

It's a cool wing. People like it. For most people, even most Evo owners, it's just a style add on. But it does serve a function, even on a non-Evo car... and that function, is to make hella people wanna freeway drag you apparently!

Uh-oh. Looks like someone has a chip on their shoulder. I never called you a poser. However, you having a "sh*tload of mods" doesn't stop you from being one. If all you do is drag race, why do YOU need a rear wing? And as to defending the Lancer owner - that wasn't my intent. I was just pointing out your flawed reasoning.

Now go drive in a straight line

What you think having heavy mods make you stand on higher ground? Please. Half the time, these guys just spew non-sense, thinking that they know it all... when in reality they don't know what part A does, or how much part B is. Hell, they had a friend or a tuner install everything.

Re-read his statment, he wasn't calling you a poser. Also, you fail to reply to his statment about "drag" w/ the huge spoiler. You take things way out of context, to the point nobody likes when you open your mouth. Since you don't pay my car note or insurance, you opinions are mute...

Can somebody give more info on this fwd/spoiler thing. I really would like to know.

Theres reason for that. If see a Evo with a big *** wing, it strikes FEAR in the hearts of all 4 cylanders in the area. You see a Ralliart with a "evo wing", you snicker alittle then try to whoop his rice loving ***. (j/k)

This is exactly why I ended up taking my Evo wing off! I have been pulled over a total of 4 times since I have had my car. Guess what, 3 of them have been with the Evo wing on, which was only for 3 months!!!
