Honda spent all that time making a bi-pedal robot that can climb steps and yet it can't do Kung-Foo kicks or Riverdance. HA!

Until a robot comes up to me in a pub stuffing a broken bottle in my face and saying, "stitch that jimmie" then I’m afraid I have to consider all robots totally un-fistworthy.

If you don’t believe me then you can ask Steve Fox (the guy in the flaming Ford Fiesta screaming WEAK! out the window). So there!

Eh, my original posts were confined to the context(s) of this thread - a Ferrari may be faster than an Evo but who gives a shit, we're not comparing a Ferrari here...

Once again, I'll push speed and performance aside (because the cars being compared here are all quick one way or the other). My point was (and I thought the point of this thread was) if I had a choice to pick one of the three I'd pick the Vette because even if its not the fastest of the bunch, its close enough to being the best. The clincher for me is the IMAGE the Vette has over the Mitsubishi or the Ford - it is a much more exotic car. I really don't think you can debate the issue. The fully-loaded Mustang interior leaves much to be desired in the first place, let alone the amenity stripped interior of the Cobra R (plus between the GT's and 6-bangers there's so many Stang's out on the road). I've never seen the interior of an "EVO" Lancer because they're banned for some reason here in Canada - which is stupid because that car would be simply awesome up here in the snow... but my friend has a base model Lancer and as far as the interior dimensions go its your basic econobox four-door fart car. I'm sure (I'd at least hope) that this tunned up factory freak Mitsu we're talking about is decked out in brushed aluminum and carbon fiber trim, with racing seats and plaques and embroidered emblems, etc... I'm sure the interior looks really spiffy, but when all is said and done its still going to be a friggin BOX! The ZO6 on the other hand epitomizes the true sports car: your ass rides an inch above the ground, its a two seater, you feel like your crawling into torpedo tubes when you get in. Plus, having been spoiled with Heads Up Display on three previous Grand Prix's and I think the Vette is put in a totally different class with its HUD system (even more advanced than the GP's version). So getting back to my original sentiments I know that different people will like different cars - the Evo I'm sure really hits a cord with the younger crowd (heck you can actually stuff half a dozen of your pals in one of those things for a night out). For me, the ZO6 would be the only option - I'd probably take a base Vette over the other two (or at least sell the most expensive one to get a Vette lol). And as I alluded to before, that front passenger seat in the C5 would be reserved for a very special and leggy woman. "Sorry buddy, ya I know I drove you here but you're on your own now - go squeeze yourself into Dan's Evo!"

as soon as you said Canada i stopped reading.......nah im just kidding. anyways, different strokes for different folks.

Apparently the Evo's don't meet our front crash test standards at low speeds - its one of those cars where you bump a pole at 5 km/h and the entire front end needs to be replaced. I hear "they" (our gov't??) are going to raise the speed of the slow test next year and the Evo will pass - I guess having to spend a few grand to replace the front bumper after a 10-15 km/h fender bender doesn't sound as bad as a 2-5 km/h hit.

Will be nice to see new game on our roads...
