96 z28 trade in
Hey guys i just wanted to say that ricers ain't all that bad. i had a 96 z28 to get to run 13.4's my best ever. well i got tired of fixing my car up all the time cuz bad stuff seemed to always happen to my car. this week tho i walked into mitsu and test drove the evo and after the test drive i was hooked on that turbo. i know u guys are gonna hate me but after the 500 mile break in i went to the track. ran a 13.0 with a 3.5k rpm lunach. i have a new found respect for the evo and the sti also. i would suggest u guys to go atleast test drive it these cars i think are great

no we dont hate you at all. we all love evos. a "ricer" is like the incorrectly lower, body-kit-comin-off, multi-colored painted, fartcan-equiped yet still slow civic i saw today.

x2. Some people just don't get the definition of "rice" that we have. You throw it all out of proportion(sp?).

you found a new respect for a car that's fast up to 30 mph. After that it's done. How quick is it from 60-120? not too quick i may presume with the AWD.

The nice thing about AWD is that it almost negates driver ability, just rev, dump, and go... something I find a negative about AWD systems. Driver skill is just as important as overall power in a race, I think.
Having said that, I've driven one before, and while they are quick cars, you just don't have the same torquey feel that you do with an eight cylinder.
Do a quarter-mile in an EVO, then do it in your Z28. The Z28 feels faster, even though it's not... that feeling of going fast is the 'fun factor', something I don't find in those kind of cars.
