Integra VS. Lancer which would you by.

[PrinceSayianLS]

I know I am probably going to get flamed for this but I was thinking of selling my Teg LS and getting a Lancer Evo VII. I am Honda and Acura to my heart and really dont like mitsubishi very much but after all of the stuff I have read on this car, I have realized how bad ass it was. Plus I recently got burned by one stock!! 276hp looks really nice to me right out of the box without any mod. What do you think? What would you do?

I would take an Evo over my Integra any day, but I would take a WRX STi over an Evo if I had the chance.

well, if i had the cash id buy an evo VIII, everytime i pass the mitsau dealer I have to stop and stare for like a half hour cuz its so swet, and 13's stock. man id ;love to have that car, but it starts at like 28k, then options 30, and for some reason the dealer markup is 8k so it ends up 38,500

[94tegRS]

for 38,500 in a teg Id be deep into 12's at least, prob 11's but not a daily driven sedan either.

Well, if price wasnt an issue, i would take the Evo.

In 98 I brought my teg new, which put it at like 19 or 21 thousand, so spending 30 to 31 is not a problem. Its good to see that a lot of people feel the same way I do. You love your Integras but know that there are other sweet ass cars out there to be had. Like the Evo, STi and Skyline.

i would definetly get the lancer over an integra, but the wrx STi, for around the same price, no question

[94tegRS]

I like the older WRX's better though, and the evo has beaten the WRX in the 1/4 and on the slalom and a couple more tests when I read about them in motor trend i think. but if it was the performance of the STI in the older package id go for it before the evo

[gnushit]

sti > evo > teg

[94tegRS]

yeah, jkust heard that in another post, STI high 12's evo low low 13's, motor trends people cant drive i guess.

[96GSR]

STi and the Evo are the same weight, STi has almost 25 more horsepower, it beats it in the quartermile, but i also read that the Evo has lighter (better) handling than the STi, though they both are extremely fast and handle extremely well.

my friends, think the wrx , and evo is bad ass. i on the other hand don't find it very appealing, and its too boxy for me, i still like the tradition sporty sexy features of a car, compared to this new rally drive anywhere look. but i gotto give it to them, they're both awd and thats awesome.the horse pwer is cool too, 270-300hp thats a lot for stock. but if u compare the motor with hp, its just almost average- a 2.5 turbo. i love honda/acura but i think, they need a kick in the ass and tell them to wake up b4 the rivals start catching up and take all thier customers. could u imagine if honda decide to make a 2.5 turbo and thats all wheel drive, i bet it would eat those two rally cars for dinner. o and btw i saw the wrx wagon and it looks really gay, maybe fast, but gay.

[96GSR]

i agree about the wagon, and imagine a turbo version of the RSX type S, it would kick ass

If someone gave me 30 grand and gave me a choice of either getting an evo VIII or keeping my integra and tricking it out with the money: I'd keep the integra, with 30 g's I coulde get it down into the 10's, low 10's. but if they gave me a choice between the Evo and the STI, I'd pick the Evo; yes it has less ponies but it's faster around curves, which is the way it was designed, yeah it has an buttload of horsepower out of the 4G63, but it's a rally car through and through. And it looks way more badass than the STI

Evo over a Teg. No doubt.
