has anyone else seen this

so today while driving i spotted a mitsubishi galant with a evo hood scoop, wing ,and some pretty sweet ground effects, has anyone else seen this done before?
i mean whats the point why not just buy an evo
oh yea it also had evo wheels and brakes
do the galants have good engines for building power
or is this guy just another poser

Cause.......not everyone can afford an evo....
Maybe that dude likes his car, To each his own...

I've seen an eclipse with evo wheels and similar brakes....it looked pretty cool!

Evo's with 2.4's are basically just Galant Motors. Maybe it is extremely fast.

That would've been interesting to see. Too bad you didn't get a picture of it.

I had a 2002 Galant GTZ that I traded for my Evo. There are plenty of aftermarket parts, granted not as many as the Evo has, for the Galant. It can't build nearly as much power as the Evo as well, obviously. I had mine lowered with Eibach springs and did a lot of other modifications to it, but it didn't compare to the Evo.

My Galant had the 3.0 V-6 and I know that turbochargers are also offered for the Galants.
