I don't even understand why he hates SRT-4s, it seems to be a completely arbitrary stance on a car.

p.s. what do you expect when you put a srt4 on a freaking evo forum. im sure i would get flamed if i put my evo on a srt4 forum.
If you really want a good hot flame, go over to the NSX forum and prance around with Evo comments

i repeat my previous statement

Actually you wouldn't at all lol (believe me I would know). As a matter of fact they say how much they wish they can get one, or if they could afford one it'd be the car they'd be driving, and how sexy it is haha. Don't believe me, look for yourself. But their are a fair share of jackasses over their as well, but still think this place is worse than over there.

Well see, if I knew I could get financed for an EVO I sure would go find a used 03-04... $20,000 or so however with a credit score of 598 I think I would need to get rid of my $1600 in credit card debt, and my $800 dell account off my hands as well as selling the SRT-4 to be able to attempt that. I only make $1600 a month before taxes, I can swing the payment and I would be perfectly content with owning an EVO and slowwwwwlllyyyyyy modding it with small stuff JUST to have an EVO... it would probobly sting my finances just as much as my SRT-4 has doing all the crap I have and will do to it but I don't want to get rid of my SRT-4 only to find out that I can't get financed for an EVO. That would be Teh Ghey

I have included pictures below, tell me what you think















Honestly, I never understood why people were so adament about extracting 98712093 HP out of FWD car...in the end, its still FWD and that practically kills all of the "sportiness" of the car (for me anyway). I was also never a fan of American build quality (especially Dodge)...

If you really want serious power/traction/handling/whatever, then you should def. consider paying off for your car and upgrading to Evo

I never bashed you. I do think you are an idiot, but up to this point I never said it. I am just trying to get you going. Is the evo or sti a drag car? No. Is yours? Did someone imply the evo or sti was? No. Did you see the video on Streetfire of the 500hp neon running in a cloud of smoke?... 30,000 dollars on the RSX? If I owned one, I would be insulted. Where are you getting your parts from? I think you may need to stop defending and start coming the realization that nobody is bashing you, just the car of choice. What you need to do, instead of arguing, is go figure how you are going to justify trying to bash me when I never insulted you, just the piece of crap SRT-4. For what it's worth, it wouldn't have mattered who posted their pics on here. You or anybody else for that matter. You have, if nothing else insulted evo owners. You insulted me is just getting yourself worked up. I know what's in my driveway.
Ummmmm, 99.999999% of EvoM seems to think that Evos and STis/STIs are drag cars.

Probably because 99.999999% of EvoM members are American.

BOV= Rice and you don't "need" one on our cars unless your big turbo anyways which I am not, plus who the hell can hear a BOV over a CTi Side Exit 3" catless, resless, mufflerless TBE anyways? It did have one however I spent an hour removing that damned Mopar BOV plate from the bottom of the turbo, such a tight squeeze and there is no room for a ratchet. And for the "american built car" thing? alot of that car is mitsubishi I thought... doesn't daimler/chrysler have relations with mitsu? Hence 3000gt/Stealth/Eclipse/Laser/Talon??? Hell our turbo the TD04 is the same thing as a 16G.
