Sounds like the lancer needs a rear swaybar upgrade pretty bad. I'm gonna go head and take a jab, the 4G69 is really a 4G64 with a MIVEC head IIRC, iron-block closed deck design. While the QR25 is an open-deck aluminium block design. Which do you think is a better platform .

That article didnt seem to sell any car real well, just said to me, if you gotta pick the bastard child of a car, might as well go with a SpecV

Id go with the SpecV because it can corner better, and run the straight line quicker, and its lighter.
Mits. always seems to want to follow everyone, but they can't keep up.

The lancer is a cheap version on the EVO.

Thats like saying the base Mustang is a cheap version of the Cobra...The cars may share the same platform, but both were built for totally different uses.

The only thing the lancer and the evo share is maybe a frame and some body panels. Everything else is different.

v6 mustang is the same platform as the cobra

lancer is not the same platform as the evo
