After selling my house i am thinking of trading my car in and upgrading to a used Lancer Evo7.

anyone own one of these cars?

what are they like inside, i need some room coz its the best compromise between sportiness and a family car.....


PS i have a new house...i am not homless coz of a car...
:lol:
 
I own an VIII, which is more or less the same as a VII, and there is plenty of room for four adults. The only problem is the rear seat does not fold down so you can't haul anything too big.
 
okay....how about performance....

i am an experienced driver with sports cars....will i be able to to get 130mph out of it?
 
I have a 2000 fiat punto HGT....its quite fast for its small size....but its time for something bigger with more that 3 doors..:)

i can get about 115 mph out of it but its accellerates like a beast...it's engine has been racing tuned my an ex- Lancia engineer...
 
**** i read teh first post but didnt finish i thot this guy was selling his house for an ok car...
damn!
if i was to sell my house id get a '03 911 GT2 and a '03 m3 and a used '96 supra tt
 
Here is some information of the different models available for the Evolution series.
Watch for some pop-ups though, its a TriPos website.
Some good information though.
Hope this helps.

I own a lancer, hold on let me get my memory card....Oh you mean IRL? No I don't own any lancers IRL because the only lancers I can get from the dealerships are piles of crap....a FWD POS...or a AWD ugly POS that doesn't outperform the prior model....

Doug is a weirdo, that doesn't count.

I wish we just could GET the EVO up here...
 
But, I mean, it was a really RARE Jeep! It had purple letters on the side! They didn't make too many! How can you not appreciate that? :p

Possibly...

The Impreza my brother owns (an RB5) struggles for acceleration above 110mph. Given a long enough road, I'd say 130mph is possible in it, but it's the nature of the gearing of these rally cars on the road.

I accidentally ran 135mph the other day (I forgot what car I was in and accelerated through the gears - then glanced at the speedo) in my 140hp MX-3 V6 though :D


1mic - TurboSmoke is selling his house, buying ANOTHER house and buying a car with the money left over. Not selling his house to buy a car. And why would you buy a 911, an M3 AND a Supra? When would you drive them all?
 
my cousin in UK owns an evo and an m3. his evo has an upgraded turbo so its pumping almost 400. his m3 is pushing 500 with ease. his evo at 400 can push 160 easy on the M.
