hey smart mitsubishi owners:
i am 16 years old, and just picked up my first car. its a 2009 lancer gts. i didnt have enough for the CVT, and my parents dont want me to drop a transmission on the highway haha. so, unfortunately, i had to go with an automatic. i have this on friend, he doesnt even get his PERMIT til augist 2010. his parents, nevertheless, went out and bought him a $20,000 vw gti. he has a big mouth, and likes to talk crap on my lancer. i am a realist, and i know that my lancer is not faster than the gti. but i still wanna shut this kid up. so.... i decided to hit up one of the forums concerning the subject and i would love to hear from some of the people who are experts in the subject. im not dumb when it comes to cars; i probably know more than all of my friends. i just need some guidance. any imput would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

P.S. this is my first post

 

trade your lancer in on an EVO or a lancer ralliart. not much you can do to a stock lancer. sorry kid.

 

i just want to let you know i have the same or similar issue. i have stock evo and i've brought it into dealership numerous times for service engine light. in the end they tell me its o2 sensor with damaged wires.. so.. now im looking into second mechanic. keep me posted as to how things turn out. im still learning.

 

i dont get how this relates to his post, you having a stock evo would be faster than a gti

 

So wait mommy and daddy bought hime a car he cant drive yet, sounds like you have the upper hand. If he talks **** make him walk.
