| Ok well I basically know about rally, just which companys make the good ones....ive always liked rallys but never really got into them really until the past couple days when i drove my bros, wifes honda civic 4wd on some off road places, anyways Im gonna start saving for a nice rally car and I was wondering if anyone here is really into them at all.....I was probably looking into a subaru, but whatever, I want one because NO ONE here has a rally car, just a bunch of rice rockets and trucks so thats one of the reasons I want one besides them being fun, fast etc... |

Yeah, I love those Subaru Impreza WRX STi's...I just saw one at the local car show near me...took alot of pics of it. They also had the real rally car there. If I would ever get one I'd get the exact same decals that the rally car has.
The people were nice as hell and gave me a Impreza WRX hat and poster :D |

| go for the evo 7.....if and i emphasize the if part, if you can afford it...but in nice to drive, all the power and cornering is absolute superb...i drove the evo 6 which is a bit lighter but nonetheless both the evo 6 and 7 are very similar...if u can't afford it, guess its gonna be the imprezza wrx...if not buy a car which has 4wd and put a bolt on turbo :D :D :D |

Anyways Im gonna start saving now I have about 1000 but im getting a new comp and after that its just saving, i need a job too haha...Im looking to put in about 10k so most of the newer cars are way off my budget :confused: shouldnt take that long if i just get a job and save save save, that and my sterling will probably get about 3-4k |

you are 16 and want a rallycar????
well, you REALLY must have good control on your right foot then... else you WILL wreck yourself because rallycars are FAST :D
dunno in the states, but here in holland you definately have to bring AT LEAST $38.000 to get urself a evo VI (used) or 50.000 dollar to get a new mitsubishi evo VII... personally I like the looks of the evo VI more..
impreza rock the world too, but over here it is plain impossible to get it insured below your 24th year :(
but rallycars.. subarus do it well, and a couple years ago toyota's we're used for rallys ALOT here in europe.. think about all the celica models :)
other models that are used alot in rally over here are (I think) not available in the states (usually smaller cars, low weight etc.)
in holland this year a new rallycup started with the focus, so I guess that should be a solid base too, allthough you wouldn't say it with it looks...

:) I totally dig rally! it heavely rox... better than formula one IMO... soon there's a rally in my backyard! oh yeah, there are so called WRC (world rally cars) but they are not available for normal people AND cost a fortune (some where between 100.000 and 200.000 dollar!!)
o yeah, this is what rally is supposed to be :D :

what were your impressions of the evo6? did you drive it hard and how did it perform? |
|
|
| blazed it |
| civics have 4wd? |
|
|
| TranceAllstar |
| yea....this one did, I think its a old model, not sure, his wife didnt even know it was 4wd until someone told her, even though it says realtime 4wd all over the car, but its a sweet car. All i know is its a honda civic, hatchback i think, with realtime 4wd not sure about the full model name and all maybe ill find some pics |
|
|
| TranceAllstar |

not exactly a rally car, but was fun to drive, im sure if u hopped it up some it would be cool but whatever |
