How are these cars on gas? and... what do they cost? Maybe I'll look into one of these for a "commuter" car...

they're in the 30's unless you get a used one.
they like to blow differentials up.
their mileage, in my experience, is comparable to a V6 camaro, probably a little worse unless you never boost.Comment

Yeah evo 8s are pushing like 19 lbs of boost! does anyone know how much more you can get out of them? i heard STI's you cant really do a whole lot more out of them.<a href=\"http://cardomain.com/id/articacid\" target=\"_blank\">2002 35th Anniv.

Id still take an STI over an EVO. The sti is a much more refined car, sounds SO much better, and has a better backed name comin with it.
Take a look at every mitsubishi turbo car thats ever came out. You'll find most of them in the shop.....
Still tho, they impress the hell out of me for speed. For 27K you can get a 13.4 car out of the box. Thats pretty sick.Comment

The problem with the EVOs is you will not destroy a differential.. Its the stock clutch. 2-3..4 high RPM launches and your clutch is gone faster than a pizza at a weight watchers convention.Mustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =DComment

Plus that fact that AWD cars are a lot harder on the clutch than manual too, even if you don't launch at crazy RPMs. You have to be a pretty good driver to make the clutch last in an AWD car.Originally posted by KBeezy:

its even til about 80mph when the ws6 pulls away from itComment

Actually, I've looked this up before because I've compared a WS6 to an EVO and an STI for sh*ts and giggles. And from what I've found, sites say the Evo gets 18/26 while the T/A gets 19/28. Interesting eh? And I've heard people say, "I can be just as fast AND have great gas mileage." Guess not.Originally posted by Shirl:

Actually those test results have to include SOME wide-open throttle testing achieving full boost which sucks the gas [img]smile.gif[/img] Realistic fuel economy if you keep your foot off the pedal is more in the 20-21mpg city ;)
My old car was a turbocharged probe GT and I saw 25mpg city.. I had an onboard diagnostic system that let me watch all the stats, and at WOT with full boost I was getting about 8-10mpg...Mustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =DComment
