Needed 4 door for my kids to be able to ride in, and once I drove my friends' I knew I had to have one, It's pretty cool when I go to the track and have a car seat in the back.

 

The wife wanted it for her DD. I didn't argue

 

Figured it would be a nice weekend car to have some fun in and down the road full race

 

After 9 years of experience with 4G63 DSMs, I found an EVO for a price I couldn't refuse.

I had planned on making a quick turnaround sale for a profit, but the car grew on me. I didn't like the EVOs until I owned one. Although I still hold some animosity toward Mitsubishi for degenerating the Eclipse into a FWD N/T overweight pig.

 

They will after they've gone for a ride in it.

 

I had an 03 eclipse GT (bomex kit) and was looking into a tubo kit... The couple shops that I went to were trying to sell me a kit for like 7k... So Im like buh bye! So I decided to go another route and buy a car fully equipped to handle the turbo, as well as full warranty! I have had 2 eclipses and now an evo, so I guess you could say Im a Mitsu fan boi!

 

jackie chan made me want to get an evo.... thanks jackie

 

Many reasons. Number one being it's insane ability to go around a bend at speeds that can make a grown man cry. Acceleration is awesome as well. The responce to mods is great. The looks are good too.

The number one reason I WOULDN'T buy it (which obviously doesn't out-weight the reasons I would buy it) would be it being a 4-door as well as the high roof-line. I wish it was a coupe, (think STi 22b). I wish Evo's had a coupe option. They could have done it with Evo IV-VI's and just used the Mirage CJ5A chassis and reiforced it. An Evo coupe would be badass

 

Yeah, most girls think they're ugly, if they even know what it is. Girls are the LAST reason I bought it. If I wanted chicks I'd get a bike. Or like Dane Cook says, just buy the helmet :P And if that didn't work, then, I'd figure out a way to make alot of money, because girls ALWAYS like a dude with money

 

After i had my S13 on boost, i had to sell it because baby was on the way, and i only go with Nissans so i needed a 4 doors car so i went ahead and bought a se-r and OMG.... i was embarrased of driving it lol and performance wise it was ridiculous to what i was used to... and the FWD 4get it.. so sold it 2 months later and the EVO all of the sudden appeared in my garage out of the nowhere!!!ready for my baby that was on the way.

 

Well, I have a tattooed on my azz, WHAT DOES THAT TELL U!!!

DIE HARD

 

I enjoy busting Mustangs, Camaros, and Goats wide open with my 4 door grocery getter. The owners are so cocky in the staging lanes, looks on their faces when they receive the timeslip is priceless.

 

LOL, lovin Turbolovers post, I guess you could say I'm diehard, but can't bring myself to do the tattoo.(hate needles, lol)

Over the years I've had more than a dozen Conquest/Starions (one that ran low 10s DD with the 2.6) 4 AWD 1st gen Talons (mildy modded), 1 FWD Turbo Laser (built 2.0 with 16g, BC 272s etc.) a 93 Stealth Twin Turbo (fully built 550awhp, too many mods to list, lol) and before I bought the Evo I found a very rare 89 Mirage Turbo Hatch (1 of the 1500 made, and a creampuff, which I have a built .030 over 1st gen 6 bolt, 16g turbo, all BC valvetrain, etc. going in it here soon.)

...So all in all, I guess I bought my Evo because I'm a diehard Mitsu freak, plus I've always loved the look of them since they brought them to the states, lol.

Mitsu all the way!

 

I was looking at WRXs and I stopped at a Mitsu dealership. I asked to test drive an evo and they said no, but a salesmen offered to give me a ride in one. He definatly never drove one before. He got into boost around a turn and almost lost it, his face turned pale white and he looked at me and said HOLY S*IT. My response was SOLD TO THE MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. While he was changing his underwear I was doing paperwork.

 

for its WRC rally heritage/history-so no mods, no aftermarket stuff, just a keeper!
