Problem is that most of them have heard low ball offers before.

The suspension is a bit firm. I don't know why people put ridiculously stiff coilovers in them when the stock suspension is pretty stiff as it is. It's liveable for a daily though.Comment

With stiffer suspension, worse fuel economy, insane insurance, high maintainance costs and you can't park it anywhere.Originally posted by itsnotagsr View PostI own a two and a half litre CommodoreComment

They're not that bad Kyle. As long as you can resist the urge to modify them. I drove a stock demo 9 at a track day I organised back to back with my old 9 which had coilovers, exhaust etc etc and realised how good a compromise the ADM 9 is as a road car with performance.Originally posted by Kyle View Post
The interior is nothing to write home about though. Plastics are truely shit. I would think a liberty would have it all over an Evo in that regard.
And to help Q out. Have a look here: http://www.lancerregister.com/mlr_showmodel.php
But basically the 7 came in three versions: GSR, GTA and RS. GSR = normal road car. GTA = automatic with slightly detuned motor, no vent in bonnet. RS = homologation car with bog stock lancer interior, different gear ratios, mechanical rear diff (ie no AYC), smaller brakes, shit steel 16" rims, no aircon, no central locking. Ends up 80kg lighter than GSR, although you could then spec bits of GSR back into the RS if you wanted to.Comment

The interior is really the only thing that lets the Evo down. It is really quite bland.
Chuck I believe child restraint mounts are a requirement for compliance.Comment

Perhaps. But on the plus side its a shitload faster than most mid-size econo sedans.Originally posted by ALLMTR View Post"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower." - Mark Donahue Penske Porsche 917

There was only a limited number sold on the aussie market too. I *think* the aussie version had a few different goodies in it also.It's all fun and games until someone loses their virginity.Comment
