i dont mean to sound anti evo....but i realize that the evo has many good things about it, but its not the best by no means. the 4 motion and transmission in the r32 is 20 years ahead of anything mitsubishi has to offer. they would be even better if there was a switch to control if you can keep it awd all the time

4WS, look, R32s are nice, but you are out of your mind if you think that they are even close to the EVO in acceleration FROM ANY SPEED. Any difference in drivetrain loss is NEGLIGIBLE. They have less CRANK HP than 05s have to the WHEELS, and each car weighs relatively the same. They are not that fast - they do not trap near what an Evo traps. They are nice cars, but they by no means are as fast as an Evo, and definitely not from a 30-40mph roll...

Basically he is saying don't take the R32 too lightly. But still the EVO IX is more powerful no matter how you look at it. Regardless of how much power the R32 loses through the drivetrain, it still puts down no where near the numbers that the EVO does. Also the R32 will not pull ahead of an EVO instantly if you have your EVO in the right gear.

3 of my friends have R32's, from stock to mildly modded, driven 2 of them. they're alot slower than my evo ix when my car was stock. but they do have a nice exhaust note, climate control, nice stereo stock

R32 could hang if the evo was off boost.

Even with brake boosting u will lose at your power level but you would hang a lil better. Have u ever raced a fast car from a roll? U remind me of the Anti Warrtalon. In other words u give opinions and advice but unlike Warrtalon you are wrong most of the time. LOL!
03 cobras are rated fast but only with the right driver. And lets face it alot of mustang and cobra drivers dont know how to drive. I havent losed to a cobra yet. I ma sure in the quarter it will be a different story however considering I won by 5 car lenghts from a dig and I hit about 105mph I think I have a pretty strong path. Btw, it was lightly modded exhaust/ chip/and smaller pulley i think it was around 11-12psi?
O btw, I CANT POSSIBLY BE THE ANTITHESIS OF WARR BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME ADVICE AS HE DOES.
Besides a cobra is a totally different car dude. I dont even know why you brought that up? Of course the evo has a much better chance from a dig than from a roll. Besides the cobra is a boosted car too.
