for the mitsu at 4.4 sec and the saleen.. you can do a few mods to shave off the 1.5 sec differance and save yourself $220,000...like i say you have guys that spend $250,000+ on a lambo and think they are the sh*t and think they are the fastest thing on the street, dont know a thing about a car...but to have a guy that has a honda and does some crazy mods, and know alot more about a car then the other guy and whip him on the strip....some guys pay for the looks and the high class name when it can easyally be done at half the price

so what if you shave 1.5 seconds off an evo.. its still an evo..
and you think that car will be street drivable after that?
exotics are bought by rich people who want to show their money, or by collectors who like to have 50 cars to admire in their spare time, not to brag about their 0-60 times..

I'd take the Saleen S7 myself. You never ever see one of those and they are pure bad ***.

Theres no way a Lotus is an exotic and the Saleen isnt
and about the rather have an evo than a lambo thing...bottom line is that most women dont know what the hell an evo is and most women dont care...so if you have the money, why not put it to some good use and get a goldigger's attention?
