when i say "generation", im referring to the chassis, not the variations in the chassis.... so the evo 1-3 i would concider very old school, and the 4-6 are on their way the 7 is my sister car, so she is still very young

I think that term is objective. When I see the early gen DSMs I think somewhat old school. When I see fox bodies and Starions I think old school.

When I see a 58-64 Corvette or 55-57 150/210/Bel Air Chevy I think just timeless badass timeless works of art.

i wouldnt really call the evo a masterpiece!i would call it the red headed step child of that..... fancy bentleys and rolls royces are masterpieces!! evos are raw, rugged, and pure evil...they are purpose built machines! but they are masterpieces to those who know what the car is ! to the rest of the word, its a riced out lancer with a big wing

if the evo was art, it would be mona lisa with no teeth.... to most people, shes ugly as hell, but to those fortunate enough to see what shes capable of, she a masterpeice!

Even if they are flying, I'd say BRING IT!! But if they can warp...us evo 8/9 owners will need only a few seconds of lead time ;-)

^^ true.

I bought the car thinking it was ugly than the STI I was wanting at first. But it was a fast a$$ evolution. Now... yeah I sort of like the way they look, very different.

Criteria for an "OldSchool" ride:

1) New "revamped" model is out (this would be the X)
2) 10 years have passed ( so i would say in 2019)

Hang onto this one boys cause if it turns out to be anything like all the other rides that the corporate bosses have EFFED up this one is gonna be worth something when it becomes "Old School" .

That's what I would say as well...as soon as the 4B is on the roads, the 4G will be old school.

Then again, such terminology is lame

Do the math, that's roughly 1.6 million horsepower. I'll call up AMS and see what they can do, but even with like a GT47 turbo that's kinda hard to pull off

Know what? We're gonna have to drop in the SRT4 motor in there, only engine that is powerful enough
