Yup, what everybody else said. Summary. Sure they're fast, very fast, but they are butt ugly, unreliable and very expensive to repair. They have no class at all. In 3 years we will all be drinking coke from the recycled metal pop cans that will come from them. Our 05 / 06 Mustangs will be collectors items in 20 years. Evos will be long forgotten along with the SRT4's and all the other little crap boxes.

RE: Evo Killer
Agreed, the only Mustangs that *may* be worth money are the very low volume cars that are also expensive. Like a Saleen Cobra (Edge car body), and maybe the Saleen Extremes, or S351s, or Rousch Stage 3. I doubt the new Cobra will even be worth anything with a 7500-10000 build rate. BUT as you can see when watchign Barrett Jackson, it's all based on the age of people with the $. The cars from the 20's and 30's that used to bring big bucks, are not doing so any more (remembe the Bentley in FL, that brought in 1.6 Million that previously sold for 4Mil?) , cause the generation who loved those cars is dead or in an old age home. So who knows, but I'm not counting on selling my NA Saleen for anything near what I paid for it. Enjoy your car and dont worry about preserving value, cause it's futile.

RE: Evo Killer
Evos are badass cars (but then again im 4g63-dsm biased [8D]) they're fairly quick stock can be very quick cheap, handle better than some exotics, brake better than any other car, and they have 4 doors and seat 5 lol. oh yea and in 5 years the evo wont be dead, there have been hardcore evo followers since the evoI in the early 90s. anyone seen the new evo X coming out this fall? no more 4g63 the new motors supposed to hold a ****ing **** load more boost, plus it looks a lot better

RE: Evo Killer
A little brutal there I would say, guy probably didn't know how to drive. It's a drivers race stock vs stock, i'm happy that you won. Bad sportsmanship between domestics and imports is uncalled for, so don't be a bad sport about it.
Whether you win or lose I might add...

RE: Evo Killer
I find it totally uncalled for people to boast about a win, and talk about how big a peice of **** somebody's car is. If it is that ****ty then it's not worth being told about. I wasn't going to say this before but it is the attitudes of some people with Mustangs that gives all of us a bad name. I posted this thread to notify, that I beat an Evo not to criticize them and say I beat a pos.
Good Day.
Good Day.

RE: Evo Killer
I'm so tired of these "I beat a ricer" stories. Tell me about beating a vette or a vintage hot rod and I'll be impressed. Beating one of these goobered out wingmobiles just doesn't earn anyone bragging rights IMO. I know some of them are fast, but I can't get past the major case of ugly most of them are saddled with
