Now the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Paganis & Porsches, I would probably say bye to the EVO.

But, different strokes for different folks. As much as I love the power and rush of a turbocharged motor, nothing quite boots you in the *** like a normally aspirated American big block V8. 
I owned a 1971 El Camino with a 402ci big block in it that would twist off 11s @ over 117 mph consistently, and while it wasn't the fastest thing on the road, it surely was far from the slowest. It was a total beast, and the feelings of the acceleration were just incredible. It just felt violent as Hell. I guess it's the difference between riding a steel roller coaster and a wooden one.

If I were filthy rich I'd have a Bentley, a Lambo, a Benz, a 64 Impala drop with switchez, a Ferrari, a '71 Camaro with a blown big block...and an Evo - probably two: one for track and one for street with all the highest-priced-****-everybody- else-off JDM goodies.
I would like to think Leno or Seinfeld has one tucked away somewhere.

After the 2nd fast and furious movie Mitsubishi gave Paul Walker a couple of Evos...He said it on Leno when he was being interviewed. The movie was heavily sponsored by 
mitsu (the eclipse and evo were the main cars in the movie afterall). 
It was funny because Leno laughed when Paul walker said he was given A COUPLE of free EVOs and Walker replied "Oh like you don't get free 'vettes from Chevy" hahaha. Leno has over 200 cars in his collection.

But as long as I have the ability to own an EVO, I will have an EVO. If I was really well off, I would have atleast 6 cars, and one would be an EVO, actually two would be EVOs.
