I was in my mates car once and we were racing a non GTR Skyline and whooped his arse in the corners and left him for dust.
"So what?" you might ask - but my mates car was a 1.3 polo g40
i have never laughed nor shit myself so much
davelc2 - 2011-11-15 13:33
This was by far the most fun I've had on 4 wheels. It's the one that got away. I had to get rid of this due to circumstance. It's a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR with the SE package. The first owner added about $5,000 worth of stealth mods. One day I will own another...

I bought my 1st used 03 Evo over a new WRX wagon. I like the Subbies too but the rear leg room is horific. I actually test drove a 02 WRX a couple of weeks back just for the heck of it. I'd still take another Evo over it.
erniejade - 2011-11-15 14:12
Dave that is what it is lol. the color maroon or sandalwood red i have also heard it called. under 100 on the ragtop made for the year 20000 in that color. not too many of the ragtops for the trans am ls1 made for some reason. I guess the hardtop or T top was the bigger seller. I've had it for 4 years now and it has 83,000 on it. The person i got it from said it has never seen snow and by the paint i believe it especially out here and how much salt they use on the roads. Its much faster then my old 72 cutlass lol.
I miss your evo also! You had some great pics of places you went with that car on the site!
davelc2 - 2011-11-19 19:02
That's cool man! Does it have the 6spd or the auto? I love those LS motors. There's a ton of potential to make lots of power. They take a beating and ask for more. I remember in the Camaro's if it was a ragtop they got a 110mph speedo instead of the 150mph speedo that the hard tops or t-top cars got. Also it was possible to get a Z28 with the 110mph if it wasn't factory ordered with Z-Rated tires.
I miss the Evo's a lot but I will not have one for a primary car as the maint. is a deal killer. My first Evo needed a clutch, tires AND brakes all at the same time (30k miles) That was like $2,000 or something crazy like that. I bought the 1st one at 17k miles and sold it at 80k miles. In the 63k miles I had put 3 sets of tires at $600-$700 each time. I also had the 60k mile service which includes a timing belt, water pump and balance shaft. My 2nd Evo also had 17k miles but I traded it for my current car at 35k miles. I got off with one set of tires. When I get another I will pay the money for a lower mile one that has all matching vin stickers and it will be a weekend only car. Love the car, hate the up keep.
My current daily driver which is a Galant Ralliart only had 7,500 miles on it (47,500 miles now) and the only thing I've done other than regualar maint. is a set of tires. I did have one warranty issue that left me standed before a big weekend trip. I had to go to the airport late one night and rent a Ford Fusion lol Not a bad car either btw.

davelc2 - 2011-11-19 19:12
Actually I am not sure if I've posted a pic of my current driver. It's a 2008 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart with 258hp/258tq from the factory as opposed to the 230hp from the Galant GTS with the regular 3.8L V6. My wife had a 05 Galant with a 160hp 4 banger and I hated it as it couldn't get out of it's own way! It goes pretty good but it's no Evo by any means. I was surprised to see that it's supposed to run high 14's in the 1/4 mi which is decent for a larger fwd car. Here's a pic from the dealer after my tensionor was replaced under warranty. I also had the lady that tinted my other 2 cars tint the windows while it was in there.
