He doesn't have an Evo lol.

Its a Lancer, probably a ralleyart edition, but according to his garage he has over $40,000 into it:

The embarrasing thing is, I have probably no more than $5000 in mine. If I had 40K in mine, it would have to launch it from a runway, and put wings on it.

No, you quoted Neal, he doesn't have an Evo.

And if you really think that's a Rallyart in Kiley's garage you have no room to talk about someone not knowing anything about cars. Just sayin.

And not having much money in it isn't very impressive. I have a lot less than you in mine and would probably give you a decent run for your money, and I have a completely stock motor from top to bottom.

Edit: Just looked and if your numbers are still accurate I would definitely give you more than a run for your money lol

I dont know who kinley is, is that mcompact, or someone else? I'm going off of what mcompact has in his garage on here. Those numbers that were put up on my dyno sheet were old baseline numbers. That was with mostly stock setup, with the old T9 trans/3 pc driveshaft. I havent ran with my new setup, which should be much higher.

Hey...Rainman..didn't you just post this little Gem:

What is that...like 30-35K in today's inflation (20 years later)? I bought my Evo NEW at 34K. With Coilovers, several sets of tires (part of that 40K), brakes, clutch, exhaust, intake, 2 sets of cams, electronics, etc....6K in mods isn't a shit ton.

Shit..I bet you have $1K in that utterly ridiculous wing you put on your non-Sierra. Take that Ford emblem off until you put the 16-valve YB in that bitch. Not to mention that turd isn't even AWD. For $5K, a DSM would stomp mudholes in your car.

Sorry, I don't even have $300 in the wing, and yes, its a genuine RS wing. Id love to do a YB swap, that would be great. For about $700 I could do a Volvo twin cam swap, and have almost the same results. I didn't say I had $5000 in the engine, I have that in the whole car.

And it is a 25 year old car. Congrats. If you want to compare apples to apples, then do so. It's ridiculous to compare what I paid for my car new, to what you paid USED for a much older car.

To state the obvious...the price I paid for my Evo several years back is likely similar to what the original owner of your car paid back in the 80's. Until modern man has access to time machines, what someone pays 25 years ago compared to present day doesn't mean shit. Atari 2600 games used to be $3-4 back when I was a kid compared to $60 Xbox games nowadays. Xbox must suck!!!
