It makes no difference. Because fact is I have a better all around package, I have all the handling & braking I can possibly use, plus I have mounds of tourque, and a low 13 second car. (easily high 12 sec, with the proper suspension settup). And my car sounds good while doing it. And like I told you in the beggining, go out there and see for yourself, stop reading magazines, their #s are skewed to hell. I get my #s from the track.
I also like how you generalize "jap cars are better in blah blah...", fact is most jap cars are NOT better performance in anything. There is a couple out of the slew of under achievers, that are descent and they cost $30,000+. I paid 21K for my car, find me a Jap car to contend with me on my price level please.  |
The base Evo is 28k and the faster RS is only 26k get your numbers right. Is the extra 5k worth the 1.4 seconds faster 0-60? Is it worth the faster breaking? is it worth the extra.09g? To me darn right it is, you try to find me an American car for under 30k that can match the Evo in half of the major proformance catagories (1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-0....ect). Go ahead and try. I am no ricer but I will not let sombody just bash the best import sportscar around either. Reserch it for yourself and you will see what I mean. Later.
