$50k for a mitsu?? Um...no... That's Vette, 335, G37, etc territory. No way in hell I'd shell that much for a "C" tier car.

I'd take this over any corvette any time.

Having traded in my Evo for a Vette, you have no clue what you are missing.

^^Sounds like someone has clinginess with design and money to piss. The vette trumps the Lancer any day of the week. And my 25k WRX comes quite close. This and they want 15k more for soft mods that marginally improve performance and junk I could have done myself for less than half the price. What a ripoff.

a vet fits u, ur bich and a lot of usless american technology
an evo will fit u and 4 slender bichs and still keep up with a maranello on the track

btw keep in mind we r comparing it with a vet not cars that r outperformed by the cobalt ss turbo with brembo calipers mind u like the g37 and sti which delivered horrific numbers on the car and driver track meat edition last month

I work for GM. The Zo6 is an awesome car in its own right. I also OWN a 2008 GSR running 420HP on 93oct, and I stay side by side with the Zo6 (my brother owns one). What he and I both agree on: The Evo is set FAR apart from the Vette once the steering wheel is turned. It's bye-bye Zo6 once turns and curves are involved. We live in a real world, not in a straight line 1/4 mile world. Don't get me wrong, I love the Zo6, but the Evo's handling and AWD system is unrivaled, even by some of the world's BEST supercars.

Having seeing all the cars and learning everything about them, i defiently think that a lancer is the way to go. At 30,000 its not a bad price for a car like that, but what average joe has 82g's to spend on a shelby gt500kr, or 76g's to buy a z06. If you want affordibity, power, and proformance, get a lancer.

And the Impreza may be cheaper, but who wants to spend 15k on a car that is a bull shit knock off o f the lancer, when you can get the real thing.
