Evo's are exotic enough to be in a strip club

MY SUPERCAR CRITERIA:

-engine has 6-12 cylinders
-costs at least 100k
-not only expensive to buy, but also maintain...
-a car you would not use as a daily driver

Considering the EVO doesn't meet any of these criteria, I would have to say no... it is not a supercar. Although, it certainly can hang with one... EVO vs Lambo

Regardless of price or looks......I feel that if you do not put the EVO at least close to if not supercar statis then if you are someone that owns a supercar $$$$$$ than due to performance of the EVO I would be embarassed to stand next to an EVO driver and say that my Lambo, NSX, etc is a supercar!!!!

With the right mods it can be a great all around people hauling sedan that break many a "real sports car" drivers ego, but stock it is barely a stock mustang killer let alone a supercar.

No more discussion here we can take it to PM.
Thank god for Jasil. I was beginning to think everyone in this thread was without a clue. I still can't believe you people think the evo is a supercar . It's a mitsu crapbox that performs well for its price. I love my evo to death, but i'm not delusional.

It's a supercar in comparison to 95% of the cars on the road, but considering the fact that it is mass produced, incredibly inexpensive in comparison and lacks the style, exterior, interior and performance of a supercar, you can't really call it one.

It's more like an "inexpensive supercar" if there was a category for it, similar to the 3kgt vr4, 300zx tt, and supra tt when they were around back in the day. In my eyes, the EVO is the only car that represents the spirit of that era.

nell no the evo is no super car.
first of all stock the evo is very slow. only traps about 100mpg inthe 1/4 mile
and even though with mods the evo can be as fast and handle as good as supers cars it still will never be one

it does not look as clean and amazing as super cars. its not as rare. the interior and many parts of the car is very cheep. super cars go like 200mpg. and come on the evo is a 2.0 4 cylinder, theres nothing super carish about that.

super cars tend to swallow enormous amounts of fuel.

the evo is frugal in its consumption by comparison. 2L turbo vs V12 bi turbos (or 4 turbos even) for example...

I would have to say no. The aerodynamics look nothing of a supercar and do not have the capabilities of reaching 200+ mph stock form. (those are my only credintials of being a supercar)

It only has a wing, not a cape.

Not in the supercar class, but will kick most of them in the a$$.

I was under the impression, a super car was an exotic/rare/highend car.

Even coverettes and stuff arent supercars, they are considered sports cars.
