And I'm still tryin to figure out what the hell EVO is

Its a medium sized 4 door awd 4 cyl turbo mitsubishi car. Makes about 275hp or so. They're kinda ugly and hard to work on, but a lot of people sackride them.

Hokie wouldn't last one hour in OT.

It would be funny as hell to watch though. With his superb spelling and tall tales..... they'd be coming at him from every direction he wouldn't know what hit him.

He edited his post to say MR... originally it said "mid-engine edition" or some

like that.

It's not very wise to borrow against the house your family lives in so that you can keep up with your brother. Do the responsible thing and put your family where they belong on your priority list, don't jeopardize their future to support your cibling rivalry.

If you have a couple grand laying around, are handy with a wrench, and aren't in as much financial trouble as some seem to think you are, you can get a superram or mini-ram or similar style intake, a nice cam, 100 shot of N2O, and a torque converter, along with a set of drag radials and that should wake up your L98 enough to get past most EVOs. At least until they start modding, then it's whoever spends the most money wisely.

But don't go into debt for a toy because then you're paying the bank a lot of interest that could have been spent for a better toy.

Well, I want to know why this debacle of a thread was left open while the "celica" thread was (apparently) deleted? Heavy handed intervention is gay, I say let the people speak as long as it's not excess profanity or ****, we are big boys and don't need our hands held.

IBTL.. and I hope the parachute works as well as the ejector seat.. Im thinking a soft landing will be a blessing.

And the EVO.. ya gotta love a jazzed up lancer..lol

lets see a comparison.. hmmm a chevy cavalier with an LS7 in it and some decent suspension.. its still a plastic POS.. but now its a FAST plastic POS..

Oh wait wait.. the Dodge Neon SRT4.. now theres a EVO illustrator.
the worlds cheapest built car..(built by the mile cut off by the yard) now we double the HP and powdercoat some stuff and viola'!! insta Ricer oops sorry meant racer....
