One reason, Evo owners i know our A holes, they think they have the best machine out there, I like the under dogs, Although I got this car to get out of modding a little, it surprised me, although stock it was the second slowest car I've owned. The handling needs much improvement, but seeing what these cars are capable now, for the price it is one hell of a bargain. As my first auto, I love the sst.

Evo owners remind me very much of 911 owners when I was in the Porsche world. Way too much mouth and attitude.

Two words:
Sport Back
Actually, I think that it is one word.

Doesn't the RA have an awesome turning radius to do U-turns and make parking easier than an EVO?

^Yes RA has better turning radius than EVO +1
I can make complete u-turn on the two way street with sidewalk parking
while evo has to do 3.5 turns.

I love the turn radius of the Lancers. My old 3G Eclipse had a horrible turn radius, can't tell you how many times I had to do multi-point turns. I have yet to do a three point turn with the Ralliart, turns on a dime.

I didn't realize the EVO had a larger turn radius. That plus an extra 200lbs can't help in handling on a short to medium-sized track vs a Ralliart with a bit of suspension work and brake work.
Yet another reason to smile about owning a RA

Thanks Bryan for correcting our prior limited knowledge
Appreciate the info.
I need to go visit a weigh station with my Evo friends to get our car weigh with current mods on it.
