To answer your question about likes and dislikes
Pros: Awesome handleing good power and acceleration nice seats lots of extra's
Cons: The car was a little more expensive than I originally thought make sure you check insurance and just plan on new tires (close to 1000 bucks) every 10k miles also oil changes run around 40 bucks if you do it yourself (twice that at the dealer) 60k tuneups are about 1600 bucks (30k tuneups almost 600). These costs are somewhat common for nice sports cars but its good to be aware of them if your on a budget

welcome!

sorry i don't have any 1/4mile times for you - all i can say is that the evo is FAST. and seriously fun to drive.

i would say that, if you do buy one, check the bracket that holds the BOV on. they can be loose from the factory and it can really help to tighten those down.

If you do get one, dont be surprised if you dont break 14's from what I've been hearing. But if your the shizzle at driving, then you could probably expect mid 13's perhaps. Correct me if I'm wrong.

thats about right 2004blkEvo8 most people will be in the 14's with a stock EVO its the professional drivers who set it at the 13.5 and I have seen as low as 13.1 from a professional driver on a stock evo. But for the normal person expect about a full second slower than the pro's
