He said it hasn't happened to him. Not that it doesn't ever happen.

There are 614,000,000 google returns for "Cancer"... cherry pick as you wish.

Some serious "Get off my lawn" people in this thread.

Tell me again why Evo owners are arguing about warranties?

Evo owners that are also trying to compare a 2015 modified Evo to a brand new stock RS.

So now you care about warranty, after pushing for a modified car? Yeah, I'm sure Mitsubishi won't care that you've installed aftermarket parts on your brand new car .

Why on earth are you comparing the RS to the Evo 8, a car that cannot be purchased new, and is what, 8 years old? ****, lets just compare the RS to a 1990 GTR while we're at it.

Great, then don't buy the ****ing RS. It's that simple, dude. You're *****ing and moaning about features on a car you don't own. You know what the easy solution to that is? Buy a different car.

So what, they break a lot and are uneeded was my point, just like start/stop is going to wear out things sooner.

Nice try. Having to tune to get rid of an EPA forced annoyance, is much different than tuning on a much cheaper car, to make it faster than the more expensive car. Of the few RS's local to me that are even advertised to be at the dealer, none are under $40K. The NEW EVO is more readily available than the RS (and easily 6-8 grand cheaper than the RS's I can actually buy).

I compared a car that has neither the uneeded TPMS or the annoying start/stop. Why are you surprised people are talking about EVO's on an EVO board?

You're *****ing about voiding warranty yet promoting voiding warranty.

My irritation with stop/start comes at any traffic light. Every driver of an automatic transmission vehicle has to creep forward anticipating the light change. I've seen people halfway out in the intersection by the time the light is green. How many autostarts would that be at the typical light?

A friend of mine was in the market for a new Mercedes. He is a dedicated light creeper. On a test drive he encountered autostart at the first light and that burned the deal down.

No, I'm pointing out how ridiculous your "opinion" is. You're the new nemsin; you're here just to complain about a car you have no intention of owning.

I agree its annoying af! It shouldn't be a thing that you have to do every time you get int the car, it should be a setting that the car remembers. something you have to turn off after everytime you disconnect the battery
