But

it's an EVO......not to get all snobby, but the evo X is $40,000 before the mods and looks like this.....



Or I could spend a lot less and drive this....



Let me tell you where my money would be (and is) going. If it were only about speed, there are faster cars than an evo....

Agreed. Bang for buck? I'd have to go with 400hp for 10 grand = 2005+ GTO with LS2



With the 6.0 Corvette LS2 there's TONS of performance mods available. Not that you really need them, with 0-60 in the mid 4s and a quarter time somewhere between 12.8 and 13.3, it's already very fast

shame it looks more like a grand am or grand prix than a performance hotrod, but then again the Evo X is no looker either, if you can get past the looks the GTO is a better bang for the buck. Evo screams boy racer = hat on sideways, pants saggin, scrawny white kid spending daddy's money, "FAS AN FURIOUS YO!"
