Thumbs down Evo7 bashing...help!

Hey heres a post from a local import tuning shop website forum. Heres what one misinformed guy said about the Evo7. Or any Evo for that matter.

>>>>Where did you see that they are going to sell for 30k-35k? If you run out now and buy the new issue of Automobile magazine, you will see that they compare the Evo VII to the WRX STi, both of which I am considering as my next car until..., I SAW THE PRICE FOR THE EVO! The magazine said it will cost $38k!!!!!!! What a rip-off for a beefed up Lancer! I mean come-on, its not that high tech! Any monkey can make power by throwing a turbo in the engine. No way will I buy one for that much, I saw one in Detroit auto show, looks very cheap. No way.
The WRX STi is said by the same mag to sell for $32k, which still seems a little steep. I was expecting these cars to sell a little for a hair under 30k!
I'm not being a cheap-azz, I just don't think the Evo is worth *giggle* $38,000 LOL!!!!!!<<<<

How should I reply to this? I haven't replied to any of the posts on the thread yet. Anyone else wanna school the newbie?

Heres the whole thread:

man, i aint even gonna bother writing there, its obvious that posters there has no idea whatsoever concerning performance.. the whole "i'm raised with german cars" is just a ton of BS people say when they know jack and only recognize big name/expensive car makers... and the deal with a mustang for a track car over an evo.... thats just... hahahaha and the eclipse having the same engine as the Evo... damn man... those people are just disinformed with very big mouths.... hahaha they really crack me up

on second thought, we really shouldnt be "enlightening" them, we should wait till one day when he's crusin down his lil road in his mustang when an Evo would smoke him and he wouldnt even know what hit him and die ashamed.. hahahahahahah

Yea the people on there are pretty dumb. A few know what their talking about but most don't. The forum is usually just a chat session is seems. It's best to just sit back and laugh at everyone on there. I only read it because it's all local people.

I'll be sure to waste everyone with my Evo7 when I get it

Thanks guys!
