definately not true. i got our yellow race car for less then 10k. josh got his yellow one for less then 10k, and george got his yellow one for less then 10k. so you can buy yellow evos for less then 10k

If you want to go FAST in a straight line, then there are a LOT better cars that can be made cheaper and more reliably to do it than an evo. Between the small displacement, weight, and poor aerodynamics you've got a deck stacked against you vs. something like an FBody or a swapped 240z.

but but i like having my a/c and p/s =)..i think any v8 with work sounds good.

Didn't know we were talking about all out drag cars. Be more specific next time. I was talkin about streetable/track cars.

And actually if you wanna talk about drag cars. I have buddy who works for one of are stores. He has a 6-7sec drag car. Try $60k into just the motor alone. So IIRC something about RWD being cheaper. Dunno were the cheaper came from. Lol

But again I'm talkin about streetable/track cars.. :-p

the steering wheel is jacked up too. There's no pictures of the engine bay, but this dealer is not a good one. I'd be very wary of buying anything from there.

You'd be better off with Tommy's car.

(Buy it before I do... And end up sleeping in it because I'm kicked out of the house.)

Yeah makes since but i need to get a loan first. That isnt the easiest thing right now.
