quote from Ign - "This newest Evo was track-tested at the Nurburgring, so the car feels most at home when it's either going really fast, driving through some "twisties", or while driving through the "twisties" really fast. At slower speeds, the Evo has a rough ride, and it will most definitely **** off your girlfriend or make her sick. But who cares about her? If she wants a more comfortable ride, she can drive her own damn car."
at least the Rx8 is a smoother ride..

You wanna play, you gotta pay, even if you gotta sacrifice sexy looks, comfort and refinement. I doubt you'd see a lot of RX8 owners complaining about insurance rates if their RX8 performed like an EVO. Congrats and enjoy.

But then if you have loads of cash wouldn't you be in an M3, M Coupe or maybe a C6? Then the Evo would be modded to hell as a track car

why does everyone hold the M3 as such a great sports car if you have "loads" of money an M3 isnt the sports car you are going to be driving its more for upper middle class who are "comfortable" and its not that fast of a car and if you want to make it a fast car you are going to be paying whats its worth in parts.
also a c6 isnt the car you are going to have if you have "loads" of money if you have loads of money u will have a ford GT, c6 z06, viper, ferrari etc if you want to show off your "loads" of money.

what i don't get is why mitsubishi can't put the performance of the evo in the eclipse and then at least get a decent compromise- instead of opposite extremes on both ends... ?

Then I heard the eclipse was coming out, I was excited. I would have thought the eclipse would have been a higher performer. Atlease offer something like the GSX
But no they put out that POS, the eclipse has been crap since 99

that's what i mean...
eclipse = looks are ok, but performance is ****.
evo = performance is great, but looks are ****.
i guess since god doesn't divi out looks & personality in one package. nor do car makers.
go figure.
