I dont know why everybody hates these cars but yes they are fast and if you spend a couple grand on them they just get faster!!!!

Between my cousin and I we have had like 6 of them, now we are building a 2.4 stroker AWD turbo that will be good for 10's here in colorado( At a mile high), thery are fun cars and when built right they are very fast!!!!

Like i said above put a little work in to em and they haul ***. I had to fix an evo during the summer and some dumb kid got a ton of parts and threw them on all at once and was wondering why it wouldnt start and when it did it ran like ****. It too me 2 weeks and his list of mods just to find out his fuel pump and settings were never tuned to work right together. This is why i own a stang.

seems kind of strange , are you sure he was racing the first time ? I dont see how you can kill him up to 90 but then you go from a 40 roll and he stomps you , I dont think he was racing you the first time .

When the dealership gives away free AAA memberships with the purchase of a brand new DSM they should've known something was wrong[8D]

You did a fly-by & flipped them off because you got spanked?

Cool.

He probably didn't race you the first time. NOS rools! Double clutch FTW!

Put it this way.. stock? no. Modded? They can be made fast for cheap.. especally the AWD turbo version.. yeah.. those things can haul when modded.

Turbo's, especially 5spd models suck SUPER bad at take offs. You have to get em rolling for the turbo to get into its most efficient and effective rpm.

i test drove one it was a awd turbo, it was pretty dang quick and fun to drive with that turbo, when it kicks in man it freaking goes for a 4clyn. compared too other 4clyn's i driven. but in all its a pretty nice little car to play around with .
