What are you talking about? If you go to a Vette forum, they also hate GM quality just like us Evo owners hate Mitsu quality.

As for reliability, he's garaging them anyways so he'll hardly have any kind of problems with the cars appose to a daily driven sports car that needs TLC (which includes money) more then a garaged car.

Personally, I don't like GM for their business. Yes, take all of our tax payer dollars, left and right and then sign up for Ch. 11. Thanks GM, thanks...

This is what would make the decision for me if I was in your shoes. The z06 is a sledge hammer and the evo is a scalpel. I prefer precision over brute force. The evo has better steering feel than an elise IMHO.

Im gonna go on a limb here and say sell them both and buy an R35 GT-R next year... Its almost wintertime anyways, so i dont imagine that you will get to drive either of them for awhile. Plus you will save insurance $$

What year Yugo did you have before your Evo?

This is a fancy way of saying I like to make alot of effor to go fast, instead of just being fast out the box....

I don't know why people make the Corvette out to be a "muscle car" and forget it's one of the best handling, best performing sports cars out there right now period, especialy for the money. I don't like GM's business tactics of late either, but give credit where it's due, the Corvette is fast, reliable, and awesome looking. I know this is an Evo forum, but the fanbois..... jeez....

The Evo is the only non-German car I've ever purchased for personal use. Please correct me, but you don't actually own an Evo, right?

Up until about 6 months ago I would've said keep the Vette, but then I got a ride in a 4 year old Vette. I couldn't believe how badly the interior had deteriorated. IMO the build quality is atrocious. Granted, the Evo isn't exactly great in that arena either, but my '03 looks a hella lot better than that particular '05 Vette did.

Well, the German car thing would explain alot. As far as the Evo thing, do you really want to go there again? You really didn't get anywhere last time we talked about this.

I know, I only had to spend a 1/16 of what most guys spend on here to go fast!

What's there to talk about? You're discussing current Mitsubishi quality, as it applies to the Evolution, and you don't own one and never have. End of story.

Elaborate on this a bit. I have to own one to know if they are reliable or not? You must be a democrat or somthing.
