Loved those cars; those were pretty bad ass back in the day.

Probably my favorite all-around car I ever owned. Incredible power from a little 2.0 (21 years ago), insanely reliable, and handled better than anything I owned up to that point.

It's sad how far Mitsubishi has fallen since the early 90's; there's nothing in their line-up I would even consider driving today.

Yeah, I always dug the first-gen DSMs. AWD + turbo + lightweight car = awesome go-kart on steroids fun. Unfortunately, I've always been just a little too big to fit in them very well.

ETA: As far as their current line-up goes, I wouldn't turn down a new EVO.

Fake blow-off valves are always a trip

Camaros was the poor mans corvette.

I will agree that it has gotten overweight, in fact it is just as big as a 90's Accord now, but in terms of "underperforming", the current Si and the one right before it would blow away any previous Si.
