there are always going to be certian classification of cars, trying to tell someone to buy a faster car sounds like the right idea and the logic sounds right.... however, the majority of people on this site or any car site for that matter arent exactly on it to keep their cars stock, moddification is both a hobby and a passion, if your so hung up on tell people that they should just buy a different car, go tell the evo guys to go buy a ferrari (excuse spelling errors, i got 5 new castles in me)
Hey Gerand - hopefully this is the last time i address your ignorance, but need I point something out to your denseness.
You claim that there are cars out there that respond to upgrades better? Ok, well unless its drastically better, im unconvinced by your stupid, unsupportive comments. Show me a car that you can throw 9 psi of boost in on stock motor and it will gain NEARLY 150 whp.
Do some research before you make stupid *** comments, your wasting my time, i can't sit here all night and give you reasons why everything your saying is stupid, ignorant, and unsupported.

What about simple chipping, cat-backs and suspension upgrades? What about putting in a larger turbo? Want responsiveness for under 10k? Try a Turbo DSM. Seen plenty with 300whp, running strong and on stock internals for a mere fraction of the cost for a Lancer Turbo Kit.
Like I said ealier, if the Lancers 2.0l is so great, why has it never caugt on?

If you can find anywhere on this forum w here it says a turbo lancer WASTES an evo, humor me, please, i could use it.

Power is easily extracted however.

I've heard of just as many srt4s which come turbo from the factory have problems and issues as i've heard of turbo lancers blowing up and whatnot. 98% of turbo lancer problems are install, maintnence, common sence errors, i mean, letting an oil leak go for months at a time or somethign stupid like that? what else do you expect??? Use your head, protect your investment, and have confidence.

Is that what they call "right from the horses mouth"? I'm getting a lecture on being educated and ignorate? Ha!
lol, its ok marc, this guy is a little slow.
he doesn't realize quite a few things, if he doesn't own an srt4, he should go buy one becuase he acts like half those jackasses.
I don't have time to negate everything he has said, once again, seeing as though i have to go to class, maybe when i come back tho. I was thinking that all this arguing was bad for this thread, but after reading some of this stuff i think its just motivation to keep modding

OK, i hope that you take the time to read this carefully so that you don't make yourself sound stupid again.
You quote me as saying I will smoke a factory WRX. I will. Nice job of pointing out my correctness.
Oh, you got me here, you quote me on saying that i will RUN with an SRT4. Yeah congatulations holmes, I'll run with one, i don't see mention of smoking in there anywhere. Then you highlight me saying that i have heard of problems with factory srt4s? yeah, your point? my friend bought one and it blew up on him twice and he had it replaced by dodge and that was after adding only a cold air intake. you got me again with that one.
TeamFlares comment should have a question mark at the end of it, seeing as how i was comparing the SRT and the turbo lancer, and it seems more appropriate that he is wondering if he will beat the SRT4, considering he doesn't even have a turbo so he wouldn't know of its potential. Once again, being ignorant, quoting people that don't even have turbo. Another point for you.
You quote OZLancer1 as saying "yeah, its definitly possible". It's definitly possible of what? You leaving these forums, you being homosexual, you driving a slower car than a factory lancer and being pissed that we are actually making power? you having so little of a life that you have to come on these boards and try to degrade our having fun? Yeah, it definitly is possible.
Need I direct you to the use of the english language for your last quote...There is a certain few words in that quote that most people who speak fluent english notice. The same people that notice these words are the people that read what you type in every one of your posts and realize your stupid. He said that he SMOKES SO MANY CARS ITS FUNNY. Ok, well he smokes what? he didn't say evo, sti, srt4, msp, or any of your "supercars". He said he smokes SO MANY CARS. Not, so many of THOSE cars. Learn to read. On top of his VALID statement, he even humbles himself in saying that its sad that a LANCER is beating other cars on the road becuase the lancer is a dog from the factory. It's not fast and it wasn't ment to be fast, he isn't claiming he drives the sickest car around, he is saying its SAD that he is beating other cars.
Well I think that about does it, I will probably be resigning from evom now that you have shut me down so badly, I'm pretty embarassed that you have brought up so many great points to make me look stupid. I was truly owned by your research and you have truly outsmarted me. I hope all lancer owners read your posts and realize how incredibly correct you are, in fact, i hope that you go to every forum and tell everyone that ever thinks of modding their stock car not to so that they don't make the same stupid stupid mistakes that everyone with a turbo lancer has made. Man, we are stupid, thanks for helping us realize it.

This thread has become about semantics and character assassination and not facts. Better to be thought ignorant then to continue with this childish crap.

There is a reason why DSM'ers have a crack/motto against ourselves: "making mechanics out if us since 89". Only arrogant or diehard DSM'ers refuse to believe this mantra.
