Research: Lancer Evolution

The Lancer as a base model is just a sport sedan. Take then add a 291 bhp engine with 300 lbs of torgue and you have a monster of an engine under the hood. In Southern California on the Glendora Mountain Road it destroyed an $85,000 Porsche and left a Lotus in the dust. All for a starting price for the GSR or Grand Sport Rally. This may have somehting to do with the Recaro sport seats to hold the driver in place. Or maybe this has to do with the braking ability of the Brembos in the corners. This could also have to do with the AWD system and the aluminum panels throughout the car to keep a lower gravity point and reduce weight. The driver would ahve also have been able to see the road very efficient;y with the HID headlights. With all of these features it is a very good competitor to the Subaru WRX STI.
