Well my cousin finally went out and bought herself one of those new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions. And she wanted to race. Now being the rice hater i am i figured well lets see what shes got. I knew what her car was capable of. I mean for $38,000 it had to be worth the money. For you all out there that dont know. These cars are all wheel drive. And have a turbocharged 2.5 Liter 4 banger putting out an impressive 271hp. Only 6,800 were released in the US this year. So we went lined up and got ready. For the weight to HP ratio she had me. I was hoping for a bad launch on her half but then again being an all wheel drive thats kinda hard. I did a little smoke show to warm up the firestones. Then she started hers. This is where i got worried. She revs up dumps the clutch and i bare witness to a four wheel short lived tire smoking. Then when she lets off the gas the aftermarket blow off valve on the turbo sounded like a god damn mack trucks air brakes. I was having really bad second thoughts at this time. And after losing the 1/4 mile run against my old mans 67 fastback i wasnt looking forward to another lose. Of course i took it up the ass like the last race. She straight out Handed me my butt on a silver platter wrapped in a delicate lace napkin. After the race she let me drive it. Whoa those cars haul some serious ass. I guess thats what that much money will give you. Im sure if i had $30,000 dumped in my car to match her price range my stang would be that crazy too. But or course theres the down side. 8,000 miles into the car the tranny blew along with the clutch. The warranty covered the tranny which was an outlandish $9,500 but the $2,000 clutch was a wear and tear item out of pocket. Gotta love those limited production cars. Has anyone out there ran into one of these yet?
