Too damn easy.

The videos you posted are laughable being that it looks like some bling-bling monkeys got together to do the engine work. Want me to find videos of EVO's flying apart?

Some of you people need your heads checked for common sense.

This thread has turned into yet another thread of ignorance by a bunch of underage non-license having midgets with no experience at ALL in the automotive arena.

EVO's do NOT compare to Mustang builds. If you want to compare the builds, you better know what you're talking about or I will emberass the hell out of you.

You cant buy a 500hp Evo off the showroom floor either. Plus nobody calls the Evo a saloon, I mean the damn thing is pint sized.

Overpowered econobox sure. Something with Rally "inspired" engineering,..yeah I can see that.

Competition for the Mustang in anything straight line oriented?

BWAHAHAHAHA

Its an econobox, and couldnt hold a candle to the Mustang when it comes to drag duties.

yes but you can buy a 400bhp evo the fq400 which can hit 60 in 3.5

My choice is the Mustang, as far as I'm concerned its got a better engine, better looks, more comfortable and much better after market and potential power. With the package Bossejoe was talking about it would be faster in the corners.

When it comes to aftermarket, as several wise people on this forum have said, there is no replacement for displacement.

Can't say I know it off the top of my head but there is more to racing than 0-60 times. The greater torque/torque curve/power band is going to help the Mustang a lot on a track.

I would also question the reliability and ability to keep running the engine all out for extended periods of time in any Evo. 200hp per litre sounds like a recipe for a very highly stressed engine.

Either way there are cars that I like more that are cheaper and almost as fast or faster and more practical.

i see your point with 200bhp per litre but japs are known for reliability and a stang might be cheaper but american cars have dreadful interior build quality and how an earth can a stang beat and fq400 on the track and as for practicality the evo is just as practical as any other family saloon!

You are a sad sad man if you think a car is better because it has a superior 0-60. Focusing on one point is horrible. The EVO cannot compete with the Stang with both in race trim on either the track or the strip.

You also comment about "Horrible build" but are making it plainly obvious that you don't know what you're talking about. The new Mustang interior (S197) is actually quite nice, and frankly I have never liked Mitsubishis interior.

There is a reason race cars outside of rally are NOT AWD guy. Did you ever think about that?

NASCAR
F1
Rolex Grand Am
Australian Supercar
Top Fuel/Funny Car

In fact the only two series I can think of is Rally, and SCORE that utilizes AWD. This is because they are off road.

The Mustang has won several road race series all including vehicles that are far superior to the EVO. There is a reason EVO's cant play with a Mustang at the strip either.

AWD means jack unless its in the appropriate environment.

Also, the 3 valve 4.6 is about 4 times the engine that the EVO's four is.

When ever I see one it always looks like there is barley any room in the back. I fail to see how rock hard suspension, horrible turbo lag, relitivly little rear room, high sticker price and pretty bad fuel mileage make it as practical as say a Holden Commodore. Too me the Lancers are a compact not a family sedan.

Americans are also known for their engine reliability. It wouldn't surprise me if the Mustang could. The extra 100 horse power, god knows how much torque and a much superior torque curve would do a lot for lap times.
BTW, How available are FQ400's outside England?

bossesjoe · Feb 24, 2007, 4:50 PM

How many people here have ever driven an Evo or STI? Before I had, I honestly felt the turbo lag was no big deal but after I experienced it in these cars, I was completely turned off. There is absolutely nothing more gratifying that a good powerband, the feeling that you can put your foot down at any point in time and still be pushed into the back of your seat.

What region do you live in? Are you the guy from Cardiff? If so then your region alone dictates that you don't really know what an "Average Size" saloon is. You may be right for your region, however I have seen PLENTY of EVO's and they are WAY smaller than other "saloons".

In that case I wouldn't be worrying about rear leg room, it would be finding a driver that is under 3 foot tall to sit in front that would be the problem. One picture won't change my opinion generated from seeing lots of Lancers in person with very little room in the back.

Slow; I think Sonic is from North Ireland but its a pretty similar situation. A regular sedan to me is a Commodore or Falcon not a bloody Lancer or Impreza.
