sounds like a deal doesnt it!! And with that other 27K that didnt go in buying an evo, he can buy two or three more cars.. decent cars for that matter!!

No I would rather drive my 30k car with ice cold air, awd traction, and 4 seats so I can take my family and friends with me when I go out spanking modified cars. Yes I would rather not have to carry a towel with me to wipe the window off when it fogs up. Yes I would like to not bake in my car because I'm driving with the windows up when it rains. Yes I would like to spend only $300 in mods one day and run 12's, or like CBR get a $250 nos kit and run 11's. The beauty of having a warrenty in a badass sports sedan that I never have to worry about because I have the security of owning a nice new car and not some civic like every other kid everywhere you go has becuase there to affordable. And the only aftermarket turbo cars your friend can beat is a d-series turbo honda, because he can only beat a stock awd car from a roll by 2 cars

Your funny. Now, lets put your boys car up against a modded evo, with the same engine still in it that it came with, but wait, he only beat a stock one by 2 cars from a roll...nevermind. From a dig that civic would have been killed by 3cars at the end of that race

2. An evo in not a DSM. DSM's are only 90 to 99 eclipses. DSM for all you guys who don't know, stand for "Diamond Star Motors". This in when Diamond still had its hand in Mitsubishi. Hence Diamond Chrysler. Also know as Mercedes Benz.

correction 89-96 eclips's sorry

I guess not having a side view mirror is a sort of weight reduction.

Either way it sounded light a go-kart on its last leg. Wow the needle went passed the redline on the gauge cluster. I bet he feels happy go lucky. Look at me I'm fast, I hit the flux capacitor and it took me past redline.

Not downing every Honda because my best friend is a Honda fanatic and I respect that and there's some respectable ones on TR like Alpha and X.

Let me go watch the video again so I can get a good laugh.

Oh shit mad weight reduction...

Just noticed he's even missing his A-pillar. Whats that like .1 lb reduction right there.

Here you go the beauty of an Evo 5 GSR vs Civic from a dig... bus lengths...

Quality of the vid sucks but you get the picture.
