As for the Lancer being first, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. The first corvette's had 6 cylinder motors in them, does that make them even remotely better then their younger brothers?
The only bashing I see between lancers and evo's is when someone tries to make their car look like an evo. Regular lancers are not very suited for modding/racing, although they are excelent commuter cars.

So I guess HoJ and ToJ was stupid to put a high wing on the ITR or Celica GT-s? What about the EM2 Civic Si and the high wing? I mean the list goes on. Also, I wouldn't worry about what another guy does to his car, it doesn't effect you. Unless you pay the car note or insurance, just keep hating on the sidelines and enjoy your
Here is a quote from a fellow evoM owner, who owns an evo:

The real question is does any Evo get driven hard enough and fast enough to take advantage of the rear wing? My best guess: 95% do not. "

hasnt the evo has been around for like 12 years starting with the first edition that was a 1.8 liter engine?

The lancer debuted in the 1970's, waaaaaaaaaay before the evo. Do your research. If it wasn't for the lancer, there would be no evo model. Hint's the name Lancer Evolution.

In order for wing to be utilized on a front wheel drive car it has to have alot of power. Otherswise it is just going to create drag and slow you down. I personally took my wing off my evo. So if you really want to put a evo wing on your car I have one.
Why isn't the lancer suited for modding/racing? Because it's now awd turbo?
165 hp
2800lbs
weight distribution 68/32 all of this = good commuter car.
Am I hating or being truthful? It's like you own a civic, but the civic has a great aftermarket and the ability to really go fast. What's the fastest ralliart in the 1/4 mile?
Anything with the right time and money could be made into something better than it was stock. Get off your high horse, you drive a 30k mitsubishi... good job.

the us lancer was made in the fame of the evo in rally and japan. The evo was never based off the regular lancer. In my opinion the regular lancer is an evo abortion. you can sit there and tell me all day how you can't afford and evo blah blah blah. It's all good then u could always get another fwd car for example a used srt-4 would be around the range of a lancer.

Sorry if the truth hurts....stop trying to turn your car into something it's not.
You should get together with this guy and form together the first "Lancer identity crisis" club

. Truth is, 90% of civic aftermarket is water down rice, period. You lose buddy. Fastest RA = 14.9 by MT magazine. Fastest on this site is 15.0

Don't get all butt hurt because you feel your car has been slandered. Face facts, the regular lancer is what it is. You can make a geo metro fast for the right amount of money, but why bother?

As you can cleary see the lancer launch 19 years before the first lancer evolution model. There was even a turbo lancer (non evo) before the evolution model. 1973
* The "Lancer" is launched.
* The Lancer 1600GSR wins all titles in the 8th Australian Southern Cross Rally.
1981
* The "Lancer EX1800 Turbo" (with a gasoline turbo engine onboard) is launched.
1992
* The first generation of the "Lancer Evolution" is launched.

Let me tell you a lil secret, because I don't think you know.... listen... there are 7 other models before the evo8. The evo8, wasn't the first evolution model in the series. I know it sucks to think there could be possible 7 previous models, but... ya know, it's the truth. [/sarcasm]

Please, what great aftermarket? Your assortment of altezzas and neons by APC? Or is it the cool type-R shift cf faux shift knob?

Honest? By typing up lies? Any car can be fast. Why did you buy an evo? You bought it for its luxorious interior, or it's navagation system, or wait... you got it for it's 6disc cd changer. Nah, you bought it because it's GREAT warranty! Wait... no, you bought it for it's awesome reliability or maybe you bought it for it's smooth ride quality? Face it, you didn't downgrade from a lambo to an evo. What was your last car? Surely nothing comparable to an evo. You bought it for what it is, AWD, TURBO and SPEED! What's the modding game for? Buy a car and make it fast. Let's see you tell people who didn't buy ane evo that they are wasting there time and money and stupid for not buying evo. Oh yeah, most people don't have 30-35k lying around to by a mitsubishi and than another 2k+ line up for mods. Simply you do what you can withen your budget (for you or your family).
That's your personal evo mentaility, every car that's not an evo sucks. Hate to break the news but I meant the JDM GT-s and ITR, which sale waaaaaaaaay more than the evo (models) in japan. Also, the GT-s and ITR were racing edition with big wings because they help in cornering and downforce at high speeds. I would think a honda/toyota engineer would know more about how a big wing can help a FWD car than a guy who thinks he knows because he has one on his car. Sorry, you don't need to have AWD or be turbo to have a big wing. You can be N/A or even RWD/FWD aswell. It doesnt hurt to do some research and notice there are other cars on the market besides the evo.
No, you are worried ... even to the point tried proving that a big spoiler on a FWD is useless and well... your wrong. If your gonna point something out atleast have some facts to back it up.

"hey, didn't you get a high wing"
or
"the ford was rated higher than the ralliart"
or
"it matters what's under the hood"
Relax.., were all men... stand up and say I was PROVEN wrong.
