I have to agree..I'd only buy a car new if I had enough money to whipe my ass with it. Cars depreciate so much after driving them off the lot...

...plus I dont like how easy it is to void warranties. Wait a few years for the engineers to work out the bugs and such, and you should be fine, its more doubtful that something would break.

Does a civic run 13 flat stock? Come with All wheel drive? Full leather recaro seats? Liquid injected front mount intercooler? Only 281bhp stock form at 14lbs of boost and easily capable of 30lbs of boost in stock form. Does a civic come with a block that can runs 9s with only internal upgrades? Does a civic come with wheels that are lighter then TE37s? And also one of the most advanced LSD's available in a car these days? No I didn't think so. So unless you actually know a little bit about what you are talking about, you're just another moron behind a keyboard who doesn't know shit about what he is saying.

i know of several wrx's from the mid 12's to the low 9's still on stock trannys but you're right there are lots of cars on stock transmissions that can stand up to that abuse.

Considering this is a RACING message board yes everything is about stats to me. This isn't tampa "see how slow but yet how good your car looks on the outside" racing is it?

I think you're just mad cause it would be faster then you car.

Lot's of hating on here for the EVO being one of the most amazing cars available in North America for under $70k. Drive one and try to find another car that puts the same smile on your face. (STi aside)

If the EVO was only available in Japan everyone on here would drooling over it complaining that JDM gets the hot stuff and we get a POS 15hp Lancer.

It was like that before we got the EVO8. People will be as extatic if not more when the R35 comes over.

Actually, its funny, if I recall correctly, people in Japan drool over the Camaro SS like some of us drool over the R34

They love our American "super cars" over in Japan, no doubt.
