What would you rather have?

Just wondering what sounds like a better idea? A Lancer OZ with 300 BHP or an Evo with 440 BHP? Is this a sleeper to sleeper comparison or would the power coming from the Evo be more expected and even pointless since it seems everyone and their grandma wants to get one?

The evo with 440 bhp would be better because the car has the novelty of being one of tight *** rally cars, and it would be fn sick to drive around . Plus the OZ looks like crap (sorry for all those with OZs) and isn't as good as the evo.

The Evo and US Lancers are both based on the same car...the Lancer Cedia. Granted they do look a lot different, they're fundamentally the same body wise.

I almost always route for the underdog. OZ all the way. It'd be a real nice sleeper. That and I have no use for a massively powerful car. (although the AWD would be real nice...and rear disc brakes would be nice too)

Hell, at one point I was considering moding me 88 Grand Am (2.3l Quad 4) Too bad it was auto and option parts were about as easy to find as a crackhead in Catholic in the middle east. *sigh* Car only has 53k on it too.

Talking Just call me "no brain"

I'd hate to disappoint.

Picking a car isn't just a matter of power and performance. Purpose is equally important, as is personal preference. I'm open to argument though.

Yum...scirocco

Another car I'd kill for (the first being an R34). Too bad it's not an option. :P We're (mostly) Americans! We need more options! Things we'll never even pick!
