you dont need an evo to race . it depends on your model lancer. is it the es,oz or the ralliart? es and oz you have no chance unless its modified to hell. the ra (witch i own) is actually a fast 2.4L, that with an intake, headers,downpipe,and full exhaust , you;; be pulling on hondas all day long..if you realy want fast try buying a turbo kit from ROADRACEMOTORSPORTS.COM there have the worlds fastest drag lancer and many mods for all lancers inc. evos. so who said lancers are slow id advise you to check out evolutionm.net and say that again. some of the lancers on there have fully built motors with turbos that will will spank evos ansd sti's from a dig!!!! thats fast...
