General J September 19, 2003 Share General J Member September 19, 2003 And holy geez do those things have a mean look and sound too them for being a little 4 cylinder. Saw one the other night and it was quite throaty for a 4. Nothing compares to a Mustang with an Offroad H-pipe though... Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa September 19, 2003 Share Playaa Member September 19, 2003 yeah I'm of the same opinion.....I don't care how fast a car is if it looks like a Neon... I'd rather have my slow car than a fast neon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General J September 20, 2003 Share General J Member September 20, 2003 Hehehe... Me and a friend decided if we had our buddies 99 or 2000 can't remember what year it is, Trans Am WS-6 we would probably kill ourselves in no time. Or atleast do something really really dumb..

Justin October 6, 2003 Share Justin Member October 6, 2003 The Evo > srt-4 and sti. I've driven all 3 and the Evo is by far the more fun car and while it may lack a tad in horsepower to the sti, it FEELS much faster. The handling is also on a whole other level in comparison to the sti and srt. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight October 6, 2003 Author Share White Knight Member October 6, 2003 Justin, Evo Cost $10K more than the Neon. That's the deal with it. Its cheaper than even a POS Celica, yet its faster than a Boxster...and the Evo in the Quarter (per C&D's test runs). That's why its a huge, big ol deal. I haven't driven one yet, and probably wont (its a dodge...) but darn its fast. I'll happily stick to my luxurious, yet fast RSX Type S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin October 6, 2003 Share Justin Member October 6, 2003 I agree with you on teh price tag issue, but dont read too far into the track #'s. If you'll notice my first post, it says tho the others post lower 1/4 times, the Evo FEELS much faster than both. It has a friendlier driver feel as well. It feels 10x's more solid than the srt or the sti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gOOters October 6, 2003 Share gOOters Member October 6, 2003 Yeah...two dirrefent classes of cars here. Evo and SRT is like apples and oranges, both are TERRIFIC performance for the dollar. Of course I would take the Evo first...really struggled with the choice between an Evo and my Z. Evo has the edge on handling and performance, but the Z is close and much nicer finish/look. I do love that Evo alot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight October 6, 2003 Author Share White Knight Member October 6, 2003 Mmmmm...for $30K+ I would take the G35 Coupe. Worse performance of them all, but damn she is luxurious. A bud of mine just bought one..so freakin sweet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J October 7, 2003 Share General J Member October 7, 2003 I had a dream last night that I traded the truck for a Z... Needless to say I had to test her out Now if only I wasnt in school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight October 7, 2003 Author Share White Knight Member October 7, 2003 Don't worry J...soon you will be out of school and have much better toys...but still badly miss those days you were in school... Gawd knows I sure do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gOOters October 8, 2003 Share gOOters Member October 8, 2003 Yup...enjoy every stage of life for what it offers. When you graduate, the wild beer parties and insane spring break trips won't happen quite so often. You won't have like a million friends all within a 5 minute drive either. BUT, you will have money and other perks. All in good time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Knight October 8, 2003 Author Share White Knight Member October 8, 2003 Bigger Toys for Bigger Boys, but less time to use them. I can buy pretty much anything I want right now under a $K...but there's no time to use it. Ya gotta take the good with the bad, ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
