The fastest Lancer OZ in the world is still in the high 12s, so don't bet on anything lower than that. Sorry, the car is just too heavy to find numbers like that.

Oh yes that is right, even still, maybe a different platform for 11's... but going from 17's stock to 13's is quite an awesome feat in itself

If you have the $$$ for an Evo.... have you considered the STi?

Just keep saving your money and wait for the EVO X to come to Canada

And keep saving for Evo XI, then Evo XII, then Evo XIII

I almost didn't say it But we, canadians, have to face it. We've been told for the past 3 years the Evo would finnaly cross the border and be available here. 3 years later we're still waiting. The guy is looking for a quicker car. He's got the cash for an Evo so he should have the cash for an STi. Our authorities won't bend over the rules and won't soften them either so the Evo might never see our piece of land so we have to look at other alternatives. Unfortunatly, there is not that many alternative to the Evo.

Or he can always dump a ridiculous amount of cash in his Oz and regret the choice he made.

He's not looking for engine sound or exhaust tone, he's looking for a fast car

IF you got the money for the evo... then why don't you just spend that money and use it to make your OZ, powered by a 4g63?? don't let them tell you it can't/won't work, i know it's been done so go ahead with it.

^ someone finally said what I was thinking. But I decided to keep my mouth shut because (a) he could be from Quebec and speak French, and (b) the last time I teased someone about his English, he turned out to be deaf.

But yeah, the STI is a decent car, and at least the manufacturer actually backs up its performance division. I still think 4 bangers aren't the way to go if you're looking for 1/4 mile times. 4 bangers are there to be light and nimble. If all you want to do is hurl a car down the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, get a Corvette, Mustang GT, Camaro Z28, or the like. 13s stock and as low as 10s or even 9s tuned!
