Much more composed? THEY ARE THE SAME CAR. You just have less weight. What are you smoking? The RS is meant for track. There is no way I would make it my daily driver. I like my power windows, wing, sunroof, AC etc.

ANd I do agree, It looks funny with out a wing.
There are people who get a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and use it for commuting. Sure, they like the acceleration and handling, but they love the air conditioning, stereo and how the rear windshield wiper clears off the morning dew. The word for those people: wimps
Straight from SCC

But they lied though. It did come with A/C.

I suppose if a wimp is putting 315WHP down. Then I am a wimp.

Why are you peopling bashing on this guy because his RS is for daily use. Did it ever occur to you that he possibly couldnt afford a reg evo or that the few thousand to him was a lot so he got the RS to save himself some money? In my eyes its just as good a daily driver its got AC for the hot days and the windows will go down even if they are the crank kind.. So dont bash on the man. Congrats on the purchase man..

Thank you for the support. I'm not looking to hate on anyone. Everybody likes different things so go do your thing and enjoy life. No need to stress. If you don't like it, don't do it. I like what I do, so I do it. Life's too short.

No stress. Drive on, and enjoy

I am not bashing on him for his RS. All i pointed out was that he said the RS feels more "composed" ?!?! That is a ridiculous remark. It is bad *** he got an EVO. I think it is one of the best cars around. SO I'll drop it . Congrats on the car.

I agree. Needs a wing. Looks like a regular lancer without it. Funny the dealer slapped his crappy logo on the car too.
