Oh I can tell you the outcome already. The neon will OWN the MR.

j/k I just want to **** of some more ego sensitive Evo owners.

Dude, you should wait till you get Stage 2 on there. Have you thought about the Mopar S3 adjustable coilovers? There is even a S3R coilover suspension with different spring rates and such.

It will help you in chasing that MR on the track.

 

From what I've been reading here it sounds like the Evo 8 gives up nothing to the MR except $7k and a gear.

 

you want a z06 to keep up with the MR on the track , not a neon

 

(sigh) turn the page groovytang...the car bashing thing was so page 17

 

I just spent too much time reading this whole ridiculous battle, and I need to set some things straight with both evo and srt4 neon guys.

First off, the analogy you guys use "evo is to lancer as srt4 is to neon" is not correct. Evo came out way before Lancer in Japan, but srt4 came out much after the regular neon in the US. Therefore the econo-Lancer is based off the Evo, not the other way around, like it is with the neons.

The Evo was also originally designed/engineered by Ralliart, not Mitsubishi. So from that article on the first page that said Mitsubishi and Chrysler joining forces to make Dodges, the original Evo8 and earlier will in no way be cousins to the Neons.

Some of you srt4 guys mentioned something about how Evos are nothing without AWD and its 19psi. I guess the same can be said that srt4's are nothing without turbos, Z06's are nothing without V8's, and lastly, Ferrari's are nothing without top-notch engineering behind them. Cars are what they are, because that's their own characteristic. If cars did not have differing parts, every car would be the same.

Quit battling back and forth with videos of kills. It doesn't really say much.

 

ill believe that an stock srt4 could beat a stock evo when i see it for myself until then the evo could beat an stock(no modds)srt4.

 

^^what he said

 

got back from a hectic night in the ER, snowed in so cal and the argument continues....

-i was like that before, look it up- on straights the srt4 will own the evo esp from a roll stock to stock.
The evo is a well balanced car than the srt4. and you can never compare both-they are in a different class. i guess srt4 owners are proud that they can keep up with a car that has a rich rally heritage on STRAIGHTS... they also compare their car to the evo as it epitomizes the all around performance sedan of this era, seldom do they compare it to the STI or any car for that matter.
just be proud guys that we were able to purchase a car like the evo. better yet be flattered as a lot of cars tend to compare theirs to ours.
