If I cared how the rest of society viewed my car purchases I wouldn't be driving a Evo, or any other Mitsubishi for that matter. I'd buy an Audi, BMW, Lexus or Acura.
The SRT-4 may just be a neon in your eyes, but it's a fast and fun to drive Neon, I'll take that over just a Lancer any day.

 

i kno the dodge dealer around me is very mod friendly..for me i would def a get srt over the ralliart..cus its much quicker and u can make those things pretty damn fast for a pretty good price..and srt-4s sound bad ***

 

i really think that the srt 4 looks better, even though people say it looks horrible.

 

i have to agree! everyone makes fun of the srt's interior saying it looks plasticy, however, i look at the lancer and see plasticy body pannels. i would rather have my car have a plastic interior than a cheap plasticy look to the body

 

its a forum....its for ralliarts...thats how we roll.....get used to it.

 

dude I live in canada....tell you what ask any other canadian member on the site....anyone....they will tell you the exact same thing...no joke...it is retarded let me tell you, but at the same rate most of the time we can get away with alot of sh*t up here that you cant in Cali....like running our cars with no cats..I never made the bumper laws...but thats the way it is, other wise I woulda had an evo...but I ended up with Ralliart which actually has tons of potential....tons.

 

I totally agree with what you say here...but there is alot of potential for RA. look at the numbers of an RA with road race turbo kit....its not even a huge turbo setup....just a user friendly day to day turbo kit running 7 psi of boost....it lays down more than an SRT-4 stock. Its an excellent alternative for an SRT-4 is all I am trying to say. plus the interior build quality is a step up from cheap mopar.....have you ever felt your interior?? the materials are softer to touch...hop in an SRT-4 and everything is solid hard and feels like it will make noise after 20,000 miles. lots of different opinions on this and thats fine...SRT-4 is a good bargain.

 

at least we dont have a ridiculous looking wing stolen from a toyota product built in the 90's. Your car has way more plastic on it than RA LOL!!! I cant beleive you would even say that....plus you have false dual exhaust on a 4cyl???GAY!! On top of that your neons ride like 80 inchs off the ground stock......rediculous. oh...and it has a non functional hood scoop WTF??? Sorry bro, just helping correct your statement...LOL plasticy body?? LOL and at least mitsu offers pearl paint. Oh I can go on for hours.

 

This whole thread makes baby Jesus cry.

 

That is exactly what I was saying, I am the guy that posted about the turbo RA. I don't have one, and don't want one. I don't need a turbo to drive my car fast.

But if you turbo an RA and get a stock evo and a stock SRT4 (both more expensive) you are calling the RA a bad investment? How do you figure, and I haven't driven either other car so I am not going to make any claims about handling or actual power, that the numbers on the dyno make my 20K$ with turbo (maybe) RA a bad investment compared to your insurance hungry very expensive evo and a now slower more expensive at 21K$ (maybe) Neon?

I am not fighting for any of these three cars outright, because I have only driven one. But you definitely need to stop bashing my car man, because unless you have driven one or ridden with me you can't tell me I made a bad investment.

Your evo is faster, so is the neon, but the RA has more potential as far as engine than both of those cars. 7psi of boost and pump gas make my RA faster than the SRT4. thats impressive for a car with no factory support and very little aftermarket support no matter where you are from, canada, japan, and even evoland. which is exactly where ike and evo8rcr can go, back to evoland.

I happen to like Canada, by the way, so keep your opinions about there nationality/food/car choices out of ralliart general or any other ralliart forum for that matter. you can do that in evoland since they can't be included their anyway.

Damn European Cigarrettes always talking down to people on EvoM.

With all the bickering you would figure the mods would have interfeared with this thread already.

 

thx Dan...vry well put.....keep eatin the SRT-4's

 

Honestly, I thought this thread stayed pretty civil for what it was. However, I think everything that can be argued has been, so the thread has served its purpose.
