MITSU LineUp: if the evo is killed what would you buy next?

The cost of the mods is bad enough, but you are almost certainly going to void your warranty, and anything major (like doing what I've done to my Evo) is severely going to detract from its streetability. I don't mind driving around in a gutted caged Evo... but the GTR I would think twice about doing anything other than very minor bolt-ons. Also because cars depreciate so dramatically I would never buy a new GTR, either purchasing one used or leasing a new one and leaving it alone.

Definitely not another Mitsu...
My car ought to last at least a few more years or more, by that point you could probably pick up a GTR with most of the depreciation done; and honestly, I don't think engine mods are the problem. I think it's fast enough out of the box, but don't like the weight and lack of 4-wheel drifting
Another option might be the new BMW 1 Series M, if they get it right.
Don't think I'd get an Sti, unless they can get it to turn close to the way an evo does.
Well, and in 5 years....Hyundai are on a roll lately, maybe they'll have so much cash they turn the Genesis into a serious contender

thats true to an extent. yes you can find owners that paid under 20k but even searching on this forum you can see how much money people put into their cars...all these 400hp evo's arent a couple hundred bucks....
yea when you throw in a family and a house your right. but then again as you get older, in theory your pay should go up. so for most people that are working full time given that they have some kind of degree of course or plan to obtain one, and are still into cars, I dont see a reason why you wouldnt be able to afford a nice car later on. people do it all the time.
deuces
