Jordan, Dodge DyNASTIES are terrible cars.  I hope you've never had to drive one.

It's on my list of worst vehicles I've ever driven. 1993 Shadow, 1998 Corolla are also on that list.

2004 Chrysler Intrepid R/T Clone - Titanium Graphite [3.5L V6 - 250hp]
1996 BMW 325i Convertible - Brilliant Black [2.5L I6 - 189hp]

So then what's the point of all of this?

You really don't know the answer to that? The EVO is RWD, 4-doors, and a back seat. Not all "sporty" cars are sportscar. This sucks, now i feel like Raza.
EVO's are AWD.

It's still fun to be unsure or not whether you'll still be alive after those speeds. Anyway, you're clearly not going to budge from your opinion and I'm not going to budge from mine. I'm done here

WTF!? did you seriously think this car was more fun to drive down that road than a WRX?

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

All of what you guys have said is great, but I'd still rather take a S2000 downtown for dinner than a Civic Type anything.

Shut the fuck up. If it's better around a track, and it's better in a straight line, it's a better car.

That's silly.

I wish they would have thrown in a CR S200 just for good measure to see what would happen, too.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I think the older S2000 was faster than the newer one; I'm fairly certain Honda softened up the car a bit for America.

Years ago the Corvair Spyder was faster than the 'vette--it happens.

I did think about the Evo and WRX when I saw the tag line. There are some hot four doors out there these days!

These kind of performance characteristics used to be in the hands of the rich and famous, in super cars, primarily from Italy. Now they're in the hands of kids making minimum wage.

It's a great time to be a car enthusiast! BTW, don't spend it quibbling, you're wasting cyber space and our time, (scrolling past all of it), with some of these posts.
