I know the folks over at Fresno Mitsu very, very well, I’ll let ‘em know how you feel.

 

The sales guy at my dealership tried telling me that an '03 eclipse was faster than an Evo, and that in europe they were already up to the Evo 10 keep in mind this was in '03. Which I thought was pretty damn impressive considering at that time they didn't have a nine in japan.

 

I tried to order an MR in mid-September so I called a dealership near me and asked one of the salesmen if they were getting an MRs. His response, "that car doesn't exist." I hung up and found a white unicorn elsewhere. Jackass.

 

i hate bob king in winiston salem NC, but the lady that sold me my evo was the only one in the dealership that knew what the he11 she was talking about. see gave me more info about my car than i knew at the time. so i was impressed. too bad for bob knig that she quit may be thats why they are doing so sh1ty.

I gave my dealer a copy of the evo encyclopedia after the sale. really nice people but, not many car guys. They were amazed there was a 1-7!

 

This is a funny topic, my dude I bought from has never been in one until we took it out and I also turned the guy almost white. ...Explained everything to him and now we got this whole crew going that is very tight with the dealership and all the peeps that bought evos. That is why we NEVER have any warranty discussions with our modded cars. These guys (*cough*) love us (hehee) and vice versa. Now I drop off videos of stuff from online places and best motoring and all and they play it in the show room, awesome...

 

that is funny, it is amazing what people will do to sell something that they know nothing about

 

Well the first time I went to look at an Evo the salesman made it very clear to me that the "Evo is a twin-turbo car". After I finally regained my composure from laughing so hard I proceeded to explain the difference between Twin Scroll and Twin Turbo.

 

Dealers are great fun (and I work at one- not in sales)!

First time I stopped in to look at a MR, my hubby walked around it and the saleman latched onto me like glue. Told me allllll about this car, the 271 lb-ft of torque, the 273 hp's, all the while I'm thinking: "dude you need to reread the brocure again". I stood there nodding my head like a good little girl iimpressed by the salemans lack of product knowledge.
-LOL
Asked me if there where any other "performance cars" we might be looking at--- and I looked at him a said " yeah, a Zonda"
Good Times!

 

i dont think the MR can take the new GTo out anywhere. that thing is a v8 400hp LS2

 

The MR will take a GTO from a clutch-burning 1/4 drag and around a road course. Not to mention in a snowstorm, too.

 

1/4 mile- the GTo with very few bolt ons will run 11s with ease.

 

No doubt, I thought you were comparing stock vs stock.

 

Damn...y'all made me wanna go mess with some car salesmen...

 

It never cease's to amaze me what they will come up with. It almost makes me want to secretly video tape them and put it up just to laugh at. I wish I could remember half of what the sales guys said when I bought mine. I do remember watching a stupid video before test driving. Then the sales guy telling me " yeah, man you can run this thing up to red line side step the clutch and this thing will just go!! It'll do that all day long!" That's pretty funny. Or a good way to keep revenue in the service department.
