oh yea and how are the dealers for you guys? the dealer i go to is cool with the mods i have . so i still have a warranty on my car. what can i do to the eo befor they start to void it? thanx erix
as soon as you drive your car off the lot you will void your warranty 
just messing with you, but seriously the car has a 0-60 in the 4 sec range (stock) and on a evo 9 stock, you can get a 12.9 with a good driver. i think your friends are just jealous

if you are a good driver you will most likely take them stock, but all you would need is an MBC, exhaust, and flash and there will be no worries. they are a few good drivers that can do 11's with those few mods for $1300. IX's are beasts.

Your friends are just jealous of your new future car. Tell them to stick their "I'll take you from a roll" crap straight up their rearends. No real drag races are done from a roll. If they really **** you off, challenge them to a race on the track and laugh at them while they understeer straight into a wall. That's when you can ask "Where's your 'I'll take you from a roll' now?"

Your not going to be able to just drop the clutch on this evo like you can with a srt-4, too much torque on the drivetrain and you'll snap your transfer case to bits. There are solutions to that though if you want to have your tranfer case and tranny rebuilt by shep for insane power. The evo's drivetrain is tough just not invincible...
Making this car fast is more about smooth shifting and launching than it is brute force

Don't count on the warranty, especially if you mod. If you have a lawyer on retainer I suppose you'd be ok, but Mitsubishi loves to void warranties at the drop of a hat.
Also, with AWD it's a lot easier to damage your transmission/drivetrain than with 2WD.
Evo > SRT-4
