yeah, cause its not like mitsubishi evo is based on the cheap lancer or the STI is just a reworked impreza 1.6l. silly companies, what are they thinking..

 

Actually the Lancer is based off of the Lancer Evolution in a way if you research it the first Evolution was of course the Evo I and there was no base model lancer so therefore ummm yeah.... I know I know the Evo VIII chassis is the Lancer chassis with a bunch of spot welds but technically I'm kinda right lol

 

that is wrong but thats ok. there was a lancer before the evo. but the point is that this is how companies do this and this guy is complaining that the GT-R will be based on the G35. i don't see any complaining about the M3/M5.....

 

HMMM so I am mistaken, I could've sworn the first Evolution made was indeed that an Evolution and that the predecessor in a sense was the galant VR 4. I guess I don't know it all lol thank you for the lesson.

 

A GTO is a hell of a lot more than a reworked Grand Prix

 

Not to me. I was brought up with original cars, so that is just my take. I'd rather spend my 40 Grand on a restored original 69 Judge than that junk. Anyway that why I didn't buy it. On to the point of the Evo and it based of the Lancer no argument there, but the only thing the Evo and a regular Lancer have in common is they both have four doors, and share the name Lancer. If you want to throw in they both have versions of a 4cyl engine. Ohter than that everything else is orginal for the Evo design. In the point of the G35/GT-R you can argue that it hasn't been released yet so we don't know what the differences will be, except some pictures of a G35 with a big wing. I don't see $50G's worth of car that they want to rebadge as a Skyline. Thats just my opnion as you state yours. Spend your money on a G35 coupe, turbo chagre it, add suspension and put some Skline stickers on it. Save $10G's

 

The first Evo 1 was based off of a Mirage platform.

 

07 skyline isnt going to be in the 30k price range,more like the 45k and up range.

 

Evo and Lancer have more in common than a Grand Prix and GTO...You do know that the GTO is RWD V8 2 dr based on the Holden Monaro and the Grand Prix is a FWD 4door, correct?

 

So now that this thread is totally off topic and in no way shape/form relates to being dissapointed after owning a evo...and to the guy that said to shove the lancer up the other dude's ***...you all drive lancers...

 

Yea the Australian Holden Monaro, GM partner company in Aussy land. I wasn't talking about under the hood, I was talking about the appearance. Your point taken on the drivetrain. You are correct 400HP 6.0 Litre LS2. I was more refering to look of the car. Its lousy in my book and looks like all the other Ponitac cars grand-am, grand-prix. GM was also thinking of using that platform as a SS El Camino verison on the 400HP Holden Monaro car/truck thing.

On topic the Evo is the most fun and best car I've ever owned. My 55 Chevy would be second.

 

Well technically its not really that off-topic with everyones opinions on cars and comparisons. The original post was saying that he was disappointed that now that he's owne an evo, he doesn't know what to get that will compare. So with everyone talking about these other cars, he can read and get an idea of what there is to choose from.

 

WTF is this thread about anyways?

 

what car should this guy get after owning an evo that will compare to it and be as much fun to drive and have as much power.

 

Buy an STi, cause it's a step up from the evo, lol...
