I was referring to whoever is arguing about the comparison or the two, or trying to take shots at me rather than my car. Most people would have tried to insult back but I haven't. I just talked about the car in general. Not him, his mother or anything else. Read thoroughly through the thread and you'll see.

Seriously dade, it's people like you that sometimes make me ashamed of being involved in this community. You are so ignorant words can't even describe, just stop posting so you don't embarass the rest of this community any more than you already have.

BACK ON TOPIC

As I said before SRTboost the SRT is a great car, but still no Evo (see how easy that was Dade). I LOVED my SRT, modded the hell out of it (AGP 50trim kit with every bolt-on), then drove a Evo and decided I needed to get rid of the SRT that same day for a Evo. I'm giving you an honest opinion and am the least biased since I've owned both, and love both cars. They are equally respecatable for what they do in my book when it comes downs to performance per dollar.

Seriously dude look in the mirror. Your outlook on other cars/owners sucks the big one as well.

So how different was that then what I wrote. Read the whole thread and then tell me what went wrong. Saying you don't like a car, is having an ego? Come on man, get real. I have never spoken of behalf of the evo owners, and up to this point have never had a confrontation on this forum. I guess maybe in the future. If I see a guy asking for input I should just let someone else fall into the category of leaving the community ashamed. If I insulted him then yes you could say that. Or if would have spoke on your behalf than you could say that. You are the ignorant one considering you are attacking me when you have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks for your 2 cents though.

As for the quote. My own personal experience. Oh and by the way, there have been numerous debates along the same lines as this on our forums before. Never solves anything. Notice how I said let it die. If you keep insulting me... Then it is going to continue. Grow up man.

I disliked the SRT-4 when I had my ralliart and didn't have my ego... or evo I mean. If me not liking the car is wrong, then I guess I'm wrong. I am not responsible for being criticized for feeling that way, only for defending myself. So if I wasn't insulted personally we wouldn't be running around in circles.

Haha, man letting it die does not mean getting the last word or putting your 2 cents in. You want to prove how grown up you are, let it go, regardless if someone talks crap. Its the internet, do you honestly thing your defending your honor or something? Man...

A bit ironic you're saying you want to let thread die but keep replying in it, thus making yourself look worse and worse each time. Ironic how other members on this board are also saying YOU are the ignorant one with a bit of a complex coming off like an ***. Funny you're telling others to grow up yet it seems the only one with some maturing to do here is you my friend (once again take a look at that mirror). Now let's see if you're willing to degrade yourself some more with another worthless/embarrasing post of yours, or if you really are as mature as you say and actually let it die now.

.5 are bashing my car lol, and no you would not get bashed by going on the SRTforums.com with your EVO, we love those cars and most of us want/need one... And I must insist that MOST of the SRT-4 owners are tool box fairies that I would never be associated with... SRT owners isnt a cult, I hang out with a couple out of dozens and dozens I know... why? Theyre STUPID and think that nothing can beat there car. I for one posted because I want an EVO but needed opinions on weather I'd be a dumb *** for choking on the increased debt even a used one would bring. I see it like this, I can keep the car I owe $11,000 on... do my suspension components and bolt ons (no big turbo for me) and be happy with a fast very nice handling neon... OR I could spend that much more in the monthly payment department as well as basic maintinence but it'd off set the money pit the SRT-4 inevitably is... I can drive it in the snow too, that is the best part. When I see snow I pray I don't die, I had an explorer and miss the confidence of 4 wheels putting power to the ground...

SRT-4

$281 per month for almost 58 more months
$147 per month to insure
Even making good power with boosting in the mix the SRT still gets 20-23mpg
Drivable in snow with the right tires but only point a-b scenarios (when I really NEED to go out)
I only owe $11,800 on the 05 with 33k
Still fun to drive and a proven performer etc etc

ORRRRRR

2003-2004 Used EVO with 30k ish

$400 a month with my ****ty intrest rate
I get my AWD and don't have to touch the suspension or brakes, besides lowering springs
Safer (who really cares lol)
I think there ten times sexier and all I would have to do is a flash, a TBE, some window tint, evo 7 tails, uk badge... HOLY **** A MONEY PIT ALL OVER AGAIN

Oh wait, I'd be too broke to mod. Right?

First I need to kill my credit card debt $1600 buckaroos
My Dell Financial DEBT of $800 buckaroos
I have a personal loan that I owe $3,000 on...
My SRT-4 loan... $11,800.

I can use either use my tax return and GI Bill and GI Kicker to help kill my misc. debt and leave my SRT-4 semi stock besides my springs, tint or something and focus on project buy EVO... my credit score is low probobly because of these debts *600* but it should rise with them gone. I need a goal, what do you all think. The EVO is more practically unpractical.... it's true. Much more useful and I "need" to do MUCH less to love it... BUT UGh Fing crap I dunno.
