Why do people criticize the evo?
i get stupid questions asked to and idiots that try to cap on me on **** but again dude be driving a messed dakota or a mini van lol.. people r always gona hate no matter wat.. all i say is u want a ride.. and afta they feel wat my evo does they have nothing more to say lol
When I had my STI all I had was people asking "Why didn't you get an Evo?"
I'll drive anything that has power and handles like an Evo does so peoples opinions mean jack to me, but so far I've gotten nothing but compliments on the Evo.

I got my first evo when I was 23 loved it, never got much flack for having it. I'm now 26 and have my Z06 up for sale and went and put a deposit on a 03 evo. I can't wait to get it!!!!! I won't care at all if people talk **** on me owning it, because it's the most fun to drive car I have ever had!!!
i bought mine as a gift to myself for my 23rd birthday lol
best decision i ever made. I get flack on it sometimes, but i dont mind. There's kind of a brotherhood (as well as sisterhood lol) with evo owners. i love driving by another evo, i always get waved at or we throw deuces at each other
(even some STIs.) Never been that way with any other car i've owned.
Haters can go ahead and hate. They've never driven an Evo before.
And I would never own an STI... lol Evo outperforms in almost every way
Evo FTW!!

I too am an older Evo owner (34). I bought the car because of the respect I had for the unlimited capabilities of this machine. I try to minimize attention by not touching the exterior with mods. I limited it to what makes it faster or perform better. Who cares what people that don't know think. When I dusted that Ferrari the other day, the smile on my face is what mattered. Drive your car and let those haters hate. Enjoy bro...
i hate it wen the miss' brother whose a mechanic kept saying his 330hp turboed prelude was better than an evo because it has less drive train power loss and how the evo doesnt have any top end power. and when we raced in the 1/4mile i beat him with my standard evo 8. he then sold that and got a k24 ek civic which ended up being slower than his turboed prelude...
his now got a s2000 and saving up to turbo it with a garret gt35 to 'kick my ***' in his words cause my evo so called doesnt have any top end power and it wont be as responsive as his soon to be turboed s2000. he goes with the 11:1 compression ratio of the s2000 combined with the gt35 he will **** all over my evo.
now my evo currently has the following mods
evo 9 TD06 20G
gsc s2 274 cams
tbe
fuel pump
intercooler piping
eboost2 and
hfs 3 aquamist
im making close to 400 horsepower atw
=S i just hate it when he talks down on evoes in general and goes hondas + turbos will always win cause of their aggressive NA cams and high compression. and that i should go get a honda or a gtr

I gotta say I really get dissapointed when people always say why do you drive that car? Or some have mentioned how this car doesn't fit me? What do people know about me really? Whats wrong or so bad about this car? I guess its peoples lack of knowledge and the big wing with the loud exhaust that makes this car look boy ricer. Its sucks being a bit older driving this car around because some just think its a typical import thats all show and no go. To be honest I love this car to do but I wish it gave off a different image. I thought about going to a x but the money I have invested doesn't justify it. I don't want to be shallow or really care what others think but it does get to me sometimes. I am 29 and sometimes I feel like I out grew this thing. What else can I really get for the money that can compare to this thing??? In my eyes nothing...
If people think you do well and you are older than 25 then of course they are going to question you when you show up with a car styled to appeal to the younger generation. I am 20 and no one asks me why I drive an Evo.
My dad was 54 when he bought an Evo, but sadly had to sell it about a year later. I soon followed suit because it's an amazing machine, that was 4 years ago and I'm now 32. I don't give a crap what people think...when they sit in the car and I moderately hit the gas or take a sharp turn, everyone has a smile on their faces. People at work know that I'm a gearhead anyway.
I love hearing ppl talk **** bc of this the other day a c6 saw me pull up to a light he back up from the turning lane and revved up at me shaking his head well when he finely got to the next light didn't even pull up to the light all the way lol. Same with a new camaro man I bet there wife/GF was disappointed. I love showing the haters when the light turns green. "Changing haters one red light at a time"







yup .... 56 and STILL learning new tricks!
