eVo M is full of incompetent teeny boppers...re-read what he said...and then re-read your dumb *** response...its so funny how some of you need a picture to be drawn for you so that your little minds to comprehend the meaning that is implied...What he said was...a fully loaded X will be close to $40k...how much you think the MR is gonna cost? with that said whats another $6k for a peson that can afford to dish out $40K?...no much more if they can get a better car...if you can afford $40K you can afford $6k more...its like buying a hummer H2 and worrying about gas...

 

So... comparing a fully loaded car that is still cheaper than a BASE version of another makes great sense If a person can afford a $46K car whats another $30K and get a freaking GT-R while we are at it A lot of people on this forum underestimate the value of great handling and the technology it takes to make a car go around the corners at above 120MPH speeds. And what is your definition of a better car? Lets see, Evo X offers 5 seats, is a more versatile/family friendly car, offers more space to the driver (I am 6 feet tall and I had difficulties fitting in a 2006 Vette, it just didn't feel right to me), PLUS Evo offers better handling than a Vette.

 

you are the idiot, show me in his post where he said a LOADED MR...he said bone stock vs bone stock...to me i read that as gsr (base) vs c6 base

 

Haha thanks for the stupid post of the day. Oh yeah what's another 6k on top of 40k **** if 6,000 isn't alot to you I'll give you my paypal if you want, I do take checks aswell. With that kind of mentality what's another 10k on top of 46 and get a fully loaded Corvette and while you are at 56k throw in 20 more and like the guy above me said get a GT-R, moron. If you don't like the X so much don't buy it go to a Corvette forum and make posts there.

 

Are you serious...? if you can afford $40K...you won't b*tch and moan about the extra $6K...PERIOD...how much more do you think $6K is on your monthly car payment when you get it on a 72 month loan?...$50-75 more...that's it...its not that big of a deal...you're the moron here comparing 6K like its 10K...why stop there...you even went $20K more... Here's the deal...if I am going to dish out $40K for an eVo...especially one that is slower than the pervious gen...I'd rather get a base model vette...since it will still be better than a fully loaded X even though its cost $6K... who in their right minds will pay $40K+ for a GET REAL...

P.S. My funds in paypal can make anyone disappear...be careful...

 

NO YOU ARE THE IDIOT...you even quoated his him...refrain to post #59 ITS YOUR POST REPLY...this is exactly what I mean...I stand by my response on how eVo M is full of incompetent teeny boppers...what do you think a fully loaded eVo is if not the MR? So AGAIN what is the top of the line eVo in his response Sherlock? Incompetence owns you son...

 

First of...where do you live where its OK to take corners at 120MPH...where is this fantasy land...I'd like to take my eVo there...because around here if not on the track the only action my eVo sees is when I tokyo drift onto an on ramp...other than that its 99% straight line... $30K more is a bit too much of an extreme than $6K more dontcha think? You're another bright one here on this forum...who in their right mind is going to pay $40K+ for a If you want a nice family car with seating for 5 4 door and AWD...how about the G35X...the quality and warrenty is prolly much better than what offers anyways...

 

I think my reading comprehension skills are decent and I am looking at post #59 and I see msatchmo stating an opinion that a base C6 will be a better car than an Evo with every option.

Now, msatchmo must have driven the new Evo X to come to such a conclusion and we all know that a faster 0-60 time is, the better is the overall car Lets see, a 2005 Chevy Corvette can do 0-60 in about 4.2 sec. which is faster than Evo VIII or IX and yet people started to realize when Evo X came out that a C6 is faster now when in fact it has always been a faster stock car.

Msatchmos comment that C6 will be a better car than Evo with every option, currently most of the tests are done on a 5-speed GSR model as the SST tranny is not fully optimized nor available to general public for purchase. I am guessing that once everything is ready, Evo X with SST will be a sub 5 sec car. Also, what other factory options can you add to a BASE GSR that will make it go faster? NONE Sun&Sound Package + Navi will make the car a bit heavier therefor decreasing the performance.

So if anything, msatchmo made a dumb comment as it should have been a BASE GSR strictly compared on base performance to BASE C6 and the price difference there is $12K. So maybe your reading comprehension skills are good but your analytical skills are non-existent.

 

Why did you buy Evo IX? Too many Fast And The Furious movies? Or maybe too much Gran Tourismo? See, some people actually know the history of this car and some even use it for auto-crossing and small rally events. Do you even know that Lancer Evolution won the P-WRC class this year?

Evo is an enthusiasts car, it's all about handling. I bet you bought your Evo for 0-60 straight performance. You are not a bright individual then, as you overpaid on a car that you could have had similar straight line performance in one of the domestics. Try racing G35x against Evo (and I am not talking about drag racing but dirty rally racing on gravel with bumps and stuff) and tell me that it's a better car.

As far as price comparison between $6K more and $30K more, I was being sarcastic as people here like to throw money all around. And yes I know that 30,000 is a lot more than 6,000 and I also know that a $6K difference is also a lot of money.

And where do I get to take corners at 120MPH? Various rally events, closed circuit laps. And now, tell me, since the highest speed limit on a public US road is about 80MPH, tell me what is the point of even building cars such as Evo, Vette, or any other over 150HP performance cars when a base Lancer is more than adequate for public roads and it's government limits? You just got owned son

 

NO he didn't make a dumb comment...a top of the line eVo X will run ya $40K+...and all that $$$ for a ??? LOL...its people like you that loves so much and hopes you'll spend the money... AGAIN...his point was...if you can afford a top of the line eVo X...you might as well step up in the status quo life and get a vette... has no business comparing itself to manufacturers like Mercedes...BMW...Audi...Infinity...Cadillac...peop le who can afford the following will not go and check out the latest and greatest from PERIOD...

I don't know why you bothered to write to other BS...sice it makes no point...I mean...whats it have to do with anything... I'm not even gonna wast my time to try to comment...waste of bandwith...

 

In all fairness while a base C6 may sticker at $46k, one could within minutes on the internet find a dealer willing to sell under $40,000. In fact some of the big-name corvette dealers are doing GMS supplier (lower than invoice) on most vettes right now. That being said you are still looking at a $7k-$8k difference.

In any case though, a $35,000+ (MR) evo is a tough pill to swallow when there are quite a few competitors in that price range. Makes you wonder what Mitsubishi is thinking.

 

And when the C6 came out at the end of 2005, did Chevy offer those discounts? I bet they did not and dealerships actually put mark-ups on the Vette. Now since the sales have cooled down and they have an overstock of them then they gotta move the stock, even if it means lowering the prices.

Same thing with last gen Evo, when it came out I saw mark-ups everywhere, and then two years later I was able to get a new MR for $32.5K as the demand has decreased. Same thing will happen with Evo X, at the beginning it will be overpriced, then regular priced, and then there will be "special" offers available.

It all depends for how long the car will sell to corporate standards.

 

Well you have to consider that the Evo is all around great car you can drive it with a group of friends in the back, Corvette not so much unless they like to ride in a trunk. Winter time Evo is fantastic AWD rocks in snow/rain Corvette not so much. Handling I would give that to Evo with all the whizbangery. Straight line well duh it better go to the Corvette with a V8 and umm American muscle car. So with all the positives the evo has, and comming in 12k under the Corvette (compairing base model to base model) it's still a great bang for the buck. There really isin't any other cars that deliver same level of performance with everyday practicallity and a lower price. Umm mazdaspeed 6 nope unless you want to put money on which car will go around the track first or even do the 1/4 I'll put my money on the evo. I can see the dissapointment about it being slower and trust me I wish it was faster too ( faster is always good ) but for all the extras that come with it I can live with a slower 0-60 time by only what .3 tops .5 seconds. No one knows how it will respond to mods so we can't pass judgment on that just yet.

 

Hmmmmm, lets see Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Cadillac win a rally event and make a car close to the real deal, then we can talk about status quo, production lancer Evolution has a lot of technology taken straight from a real deal rally car. The AWD they offer BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Cadillac can only dream of offering such advanced technology at Mitsus price point. I see you really don't understand what Lancer Evo is all about, it's ok, it's just sad you actually bought one when you have no clue why this car has been built in the first place and the real capabilities of it.

Also, comparing Evo to Corvette, both cars offer completely different things, for one, Corvette is strictly a 2 seat sports car where with Evo I can actually go grocery shopping and then throw it on the gravel. Also, there is this big snowstorm coming to the northeast, I wonder how all those non-AWD cars will stack up to an Evo on slick snowy roads

In 1990s there even was a market for a $65K Mitsubishi, 3000GT VR-4 Spyder.

Also, for the people that love the twin-turbo 3.0l BMW engine found in 335, guess who helped tune that engine and who is the manufacturer of the twin turbos? See, even BMW has respect for Mitsubishi when it comes to performance. Anyone who buys a 335, in small part, still supports Mitsubishi.

You, my son, don't make any sense and just blab for the hell of not withstanding to have the last word.

 

i personally think the 36k i paid for my ix mr is too high...of course they wouldn't come off cuz it was the only one around the at the time...and no gsr's or anything...then u factor in the loan interest and taxes and such...came out to like 38k ...and that was with putting 2000 down....so my ix mr would have been 40k when all was said and done....geez....so a new x mr is gonna be over 40k when all is said and done...my next vehicle will be a 25k truck...lol
