    Has anyone here driven an MITSUBISHI EVO???

    If so, how was it? Just curious how fast it felt? Was it really that fast?

    Yes, pretty fast. The one I drove was dealer stock so I havent felt one with mods yet, word is they respond well to them.

    I hope to drive the RS soon, maybe after finals.

      Haven't driven one but a buddy of mine has one. He loves it and it sounds mean as hell. He ran my other buddy in his e36 M3 (chipped, intake, exhaust) and kicked the shit out of him. So to answer your question, yes they are really fast, but is there faster? yes, but like everything in life...moneytalks

        I drove one not long after they came out. They're quick, but nothing special. They launch pretty hard, but the clutch definitely can't take many high RPM launches. Nice car, overall... not a big fan of the Evo VIII styling, but hey, each to his own.

              The Evo 7 owns it, that is why I would rather have the RS. More subdued.

                EVO's look like shit after VI. The whole care just doesn't look like a Lancer anymore.
