Should I buy this 1000hp evo?
nah man, your gonna die in this thing if you buy it. Newbies get into trouble pushing the stock car to its limits. If you wanna get into the evo world get something mild and cut your teeth on that. This thing is so purpose built you won't get any real appreciation for the platform or what it can do.
Unless I wanted to just show people "what I did with a four-cylinder car".
I don't get it. And then there is the time and money going into keeping this thing going... I can't wrap my head around it. Not like it's going to be fun driving anywhere other than an air strip....?
**edit: I'm not trying to impose my opinion on anyone else.. just bench racing/conversing on the topic.
Amazing example of a 1000+ WHP EvO that is a total sleeper & is street driven. This ER EvO, here in this post, could pull this off w/some modifications
(BTW, motor build date of 2007)

I stand corrected. Good thing my confidence level wasn't at a full 100% 
I thought the Lease Locators Evo evolved into this car, but I can see it's different now. This car was tagged at some point as a Lease Locators car, so I was thrown off. Apologies.
And yes, as Kaj said, a stupid waste of money in this platform IMO as well. These builds tend to not be the most reliable, though there are exceptions as Minus posted. You still end up with a car that needs Ferrari-like maintenance though and you're better off sinking money into a GTR if you want that kind of power and want it to be reliable and still have decent value for selling it later on.

newbie LOL ok bro like you have any idea who I am or my friends are, I might be newer to the evo world but I’m not new to the car world I have got to drive cars much faster than this evo lol... my best friend has a Lamborghini preformante that I’ve got to race at the track and McLaren P1 and a 918 spyder not sure if your familar with those cars but they are a hell of a lot faster and more expensive so I’m pretty sure I can handle this monster of a 4 banger hahaha
none of those cars make over 900hp (crankshaft horsepower) and the fastest, the P1 does 9.8 in the quarter. Newbie you better stay away from this beast (1000 awhp big difference foo) or you might kill yourself. Actually with friends like that buying this Evo is kinda getto for a man of your stature.

a lot faster eh? You would be wrong my friend. Which one of those cars can run in the 8’s in the quarter? I love racing Filthy rich fools, they tend to loose a lot of $$$$

Exactly! Controlling a 1000hp Evo compared to those “other cars” will be much more difficult/dangerous that’s my point.
As for drag racing or any racing I doubt any of those super car owners participate. They take those cars out on the highway and “go fast”. Sure if you want to race any of those rides on a highway pull i Guarantee you THAT Evo, or even MY Evo would beat the snot out of those high dollar cars, been there done that.
With that in mind take a 650hp track Evo set up correctly and those super cars would be hard pressed to keep up. Dare I say a good driver would destroy those “super cars”
