heh i consider anyone trying to make 4 cylinder engines fast ricers...

and i think most people who do much body work to a mustang ricers too

 

I had some extra time the other day and so I went and drove a new EVO. I had to talk to the salesman into letting me drive it but he eventually gave in. He drove it first talking all sorts of smack. " there were 4 sales guys in the car and we took a 45 mph curve at 120!" He even told me that it was the fastest production car for sale in the US, yeah sure... When he drove it he tried to show me how fast it was and all he did was bog it horribly. He let me drive and he was totally impressed with my driving. The car seems to have much more power then the WRX, it doesn't need to be rev'd high to get it moving. It was very impressive, barely slower then my SS. The spray nozzle on the intercooler was cool but it sure won't be allowed at any drag strip. I always like helping my car turn with a little kick out to the the rear end and i missed that. My only concern is long-term realability. That's a lot of power from a four banger, i highly doubt a motor with 50,000 miles is going to have as much power as a motor that has 10,000 miles on it.

I then took the salesmen for a drive in my car and showed him what a real(naturally aspirated) motor feels like. There's nothing like picking that front end up a little bit and having the rear end kick out slightly between 2nd and 3rd. He loved the SS and asked me a million questions about it, yes he did eat his words about the Evo being the fastest production car.

By the way Salt Lake Guys, don't buy the white EVO at the down town dealership!

 

If you chase you race. Can't win them all.

 

That's what I hate about salesmen. They will tell you all sorts of lies just to get you to buy the product! This is not limited to car salesmen.

 

hahahahaha

 

newbie, did it look like this

evo



or this

sti

 

donno only saw front...

the haze in LA was too dark to see very far that day

damn fires

but yea i went to a hyundai, a few months ago i was looking to buy a tiburon, and the guy told me someone from farrari designed the exterior... lol

 

I'm such a ricer.

 

there is even a riced out camaro around here

it looks so bad its got the whole lancer spoiler thing goin... looks like crap

 

The Hyundai Tiburon's exterior was designed with help from Pininfarina, which did style the 456M (which the Tiburon gets some cues from) and a handful of other Ferraris. Sales guy was right on this point, sure he goofed on plenty of others, tehe.

this statement sounds like a :racist: statement. japanese cars is not ricers. however, some people that has japanese cars, drive it like a moron. most of all, soccer mom that drives an oddessy is certainly not a ricer.

 

its not racist, its just an opinion on design.

an engine of the same size 4 cylinder or 8 cylinder whether they are both 1.8l

the 8 cylinder will have almost double the torque the 4 cylinder will...

the design is just much better...

 

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

 

So you are saying two engines, both 1.8 liters, one a V-8 the other an inline 4, the V-8 will have double the torque?

 

aproximatly, thats why v8's are used comonly in trucks

although most deisels are 6cylinders deisels already have a tremendous amount of torque
