Evos = Sexy Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So I never really was a fan of Evos till I drove in one last night. Oh goodness! Theyre nice cars. I get to drive one next week so im stoked for that! Their stock seats are really comfortable too!

I wish I could afford one :-(

Anyone driven one and had a good/bad experience?

[LewFX]

i was a passenger of one and man did the driver show me how its done....0-60 in 5 seconds, 60mph right turn into a autozone and another quick right into the parking spot, stopped on a dime. i was just like wow. i had to push my eyes back in.

[bloodrain]

ya i drove 2 evo's and 1 sti, jesus there awsome machienes. Only if I had an extra $30k

[BlackCelicaGT94]

getting thrown back into my seat was a nice change from the celica lol!

i cant wait to drive it!

[lagos]

its a great car. the brakes, hadling, grip and power is really well balanced too. you start to realize why they gave the car racing seats from the factory. it also makes 20psi of boost at 3k from the factory and is emissions legal. thats just totally awesome!

i got to drive an evo8 and went for a ride in an evo9. they were pretty close to my celica with maybe a little more power, and a lot more traction. id love to race one from a roll one day.

ive never been in an sti tho. from what i hear, they do well, but the handling and mod potential isint as good as the evo.

DSMs respond well to mods, hell the hard pipes alone do a massive change. STI's have a better transmission, but in my personal experience (i dislike subaru for its owners) the car is well made the evo just drives itself. My friend drives a gt35r, ams front mount ect ect, 25psi. But from a dig my mr2 has no problem in the 1/4 or autoX. As dumb as it sounds, I loved the ability to angle my headlights in the evo its so cool. Definatly a fun car. But the lotus elise /drool

Too bad they are so damn ugly (personal opinion, obviously)! I like my bitchez to have curves.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

The evo / sti are one step away from a Neon SRT-4 in terms of the ugliest car with respectable power (personal opinion).

[Glitch001]

I dunno about that, I mean I think all sti's are ugly as hell. the srt-4's are some of the worst cars ive ever seen. The evo (to me) looks good, i think they are still mostly a box on wheels, but thats sorta like some of the supra guys who rock stock bodys going around saying "best of show". but then agian sports sedan vs sports CAR are diff leagues.

minus all the ugly stickers and crap and this is one of my fav evos.

true. I don't think stock body supras are the end all hotness "B.O.S" body but they are damn fine! (obviously i am a bit bias - but i respect all car designs if they are good...that being said, I still don't like the looks of the evo. lol!)

I dont understand the above statement.

Evos and STI's look about the same to me....like you said, boxy sedans...I will add: "with ricey hoods and wings".

evos dont run 20 psi fromt he factory...evos are amazing cars, low 13s from the factory n wit less then a grand u can hit easy 12s....the drivability is a since, the awd is amazing wit its tight cornerin abilities n the seats..o god i just love em!! hehe...i own one myself a lil white one wit only tbe, mbc n a custum tune...i ran 12.9 w/o a damn tune wit a 1.7 60 ft...i coulda done better but i suck ass in shifting

[CelicaST202]

Toyotas are much more reliable

[95sweetness]

evos are reliable as hell...1st n 2nd gen dsm's are the only one that are unreliable n even wit the 1st gen it depends on how u take care o fem

[Glitch001]

my statement was, ive gone to some car shows just wanting to see my cars limits. And have seen some supra guys (not singling them out there are MANY OTHERS TO) who get enraged when their stock bodied car isnt best of show. One incident is a local show a supra owner got into a HUGE fight because his rims and 100 decals didnt win over a civic. He proceeded to drifto the turn and slam into a tree. I was entertained, i think everyone has their own tastes. Thats why for the money id rather have an elise I cant help but turn my head everytime I see one.

There are just some cars that have beautiful looks, widebody FC's, ANY FD, CS 5th gen celicas, S15's, kouki s14's to me all have a degree of style. I just cant get into a car that everyone is afraid to modify. Most evo/sti people dont do anything to the exterior, its always the same thing. Exhaust, bov, intake and you think your the fastest. Im glad you enjoy your car but dont freaking hit WOT every light to light thinking your some hot stuff.

An EVO owner sumed it well for me, he said:

In boost he can pass just about any average car, while watching the gas needle go down.

Out of boost he gets passed by everyone and their mother.

I do like the Evo's but after owning a VR-4 I know an Evo is a car that won't make me happy.

[95sweetness]

lol im no ricer who hits boost all the time...im a 20 yr old kid whos workin 40 hrs a week to afford the car n go to school full time as well...n out of boost u get passed by ever1? then itll be the same for the vr4...n an exhaust does an ass load for the car...easy 30 whp fo the evo
