ok so let me get this straight...take a $15,000 lancer. add about 5500 for aftermarket parts(wing-300, hood-400, small turbo-1200, rims and tires-1200, carbonfibre accents-300, lower springs- 400, and exhaust/intake-700 miscellaneous-1000).
somebody please please please explain to me how this $20,500 car commands a $30,000+ price tag?!? one can rule out labor, since labor costs are absorbed into the production cotst(they have to build the damn car anyway, therefore it should not cost more for labor)
maybe they use extra sticky stickers? low-carb rice, perhaps?

Um, no. The Evolution is a very different car from the econo-shitbox lancer base model. You're forgetting the all-wheel-drive components, completely revised suspension (not just springs), brakes, different engine (only the blocks are similar), plus the new electronics to manage the boosted engine and torque distribution. Not to mention, the turbo setup on the Evolution is the product of over 10 years of development. The aftermarket equivelant would easily exceed $5500 in it's own. So, the Evolution is not some cheap ass project car your average joe-retard could slap together with pocket change and an APC catelogue. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it actually is worth the money (and it's not even 30 grand).
Sorry, I'm done ranting.

They have some awesome evo's on the WRC circuit.
But I prefer the 206.

Mitsu didn't compete this year in WRC, but they are talking about entering a model next season, and it does look pretty badass.

Does the copywrite rule apply to the car section too? Because most of the pictures posted on here are from bestmotoring.com...as their logo is on every one of them. Just curious.

Here is a wallpaper of a vii drifting. Don't know if I would own one. I work at a mits dealership and they have a bunch of problems with them. Clutch, crank walk, misfire. Fun to drive though.
