I got beat by a 4 cylinder Pontiac vibe (a friend in his moms car)......yeah....lancers are super slow!!!!

 

when u drive a evo an then switch to a lancer cuz of an accident.. it sux bad, specially for speed. thats the worst. But i guess im happy with my lancer an i love it not as much as my evo But the lancer is real slow

 

best post ever.

 

give him some slack, he is new

 

Sadly I dont know if kungfugirl was exagerating or not, but seeing as how you said "give him some slack, he's new" ... then i guess she was exagerating...

but i was serious with that post.

 

Heh heh heh. What a knob.

 

A lancer with all bolt on's can be a decent car. In the past few days I have raced 4 cars from a dead stop. Full race, launching and everything.

2001-2002 F150 (probably stock)- Dead even off the line, only raced through 1 gear.

1998-1999 Prelude (Intake/header/Exhaust/5spd)- With 1 other person in my car I pulled 3-4 car lengths in a 0- roughly 60 race. He seemed to be shifting decent too.

Late 90's Integra non GSR (basic bolt on's). He had about 1/2 car length on me at about 50 MPH

Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with stock supercharger pulley and bolt on's. He pulled me by about 1 car length by 40MPH or so.


Overall, I am very impressed. There are definately much slower cars out there. I have beat a civic ricer before by 5-6 car lengths by the time we both shifted to 3rd gear. Lancer's can be fast... But yet there are still a whole lot that are faster.

 

I have all the bolt ons and I'm not satisfied, hell my brother in-law can beat me in his truck. Granted it is a turbo diesel, but really, it's used for hauling quads and such.

 

I know some turbo diesel's here in Louisville that can smoke Evo's, STi's, or anything along those lines. A guy here has bolt on's such as stacks, programmer, and intake etc. and runs low 7's in the 1/8th of a mile. Those turbo diesel's can book it.

 

His is stock save for a muffler. If that example doesn't work well, my sister's subaru (165 hp wagon) can keep up if not beat me.

 

uhm...beign one that owned 04 slow-z..they are hella slow...HELLA SLOW....at first its cool, but then when you on the high way and everyone speeds past you, you hit the gas and you dont go anywhere..time to wake up and realize this car is slow....thats why i traded it in for an evo :-)

 

That's why I have a turbo sitting in my garage.

 

No, I know it's not something to boast about, but it's just funny seeing these civics in bodykits, and the popcorn mufflers, pull up tryin to show off and then they get beat by a stock lancer, and their face is just lol

 

please dont compare evo's to si's. completely different world. and civics actually respond extremely well to mods, well i guess im used to seeing boosted hondas and ac's cause all me and my friends owned fast ones.

or being an angry lancer owner jk

 

Get more experience with different cars. I love my manual 2003 lancer OZ, it is a nice smooth ride with good gas milage... I thought it was CRAZY FAST for the first few months that I had it.

Then after having it for a while, downshifting became kind of ... lame, I did not feel the same power anymore.

Then after a while, I accepted the fact that it was an econobox.

At first I was bumbed out, but now I still liked my car, I just simply liked it for a different reason.
