well i did it. i went and took the plunge and bought a new mitsu lancer evo. thing is , i bought it not as a ricer would(for the wing) , but for it's real rally car heritage. i am a huge rally fan and have had numerous allwheel drive cars(i had an original audi quattro coupe turbo(1 of 500 here in us). i looked at a wrx, but it just was not as much car(even the sti) as the lancer. i love the car...wife likes it better(it is her car) i am 32 and i feel bad somehow..i was at the carwash a few times and kids loved it, then another called it "one of them gay fast and furious craps". i still own 3 gn.s(all 87's) and i love them. they are a lot of fun even though the lancer is a bit quicker to 50 or so(awd and stick 271hp) am i a ricer? i do not fel like one, no one ever said that about the other sports cars i had(porshes and vw's) if you guys can find a dealer to test drive one of these., you will be suprised !
