Evo is a beast... no way around it.

Lunch time is coming soon, I wonder whether an Evo or an SS can get me to Chik Fil-A faster?

The Mitsubishi won't make it without breaking down, so the Camaro wins by default

Yea the Evo has always been a performance monster... You will see people who actually know what they are talking about giving it the cred it deserves.

Personally im a bit more of an STi fan... but that just goes back to rooting for Subaru in rally sports. If I had to buy one today id pick up an 09' GR.

And Yes... looks are subjective.. but id say the Evo X is pretty damn goodlooking.

The infamous "list of 65", now called "Camaro Issues | Problems | Warranty Discussions".

Didn't they stop making SS 6M for a while due to some significant problem? Maybe output shaft failure?

The fact of the matter is, if you're buying a performance car of any make, and driving it hard even occasionally, it's not likely to live very long. You're never going to be on TV 18 years from now, standing next to your 300k miles Camaro SS 6M, talking about it's original engine or likely trans either. Probably most will go 100k since they warranty it that far. Hmm, 200k will be very rare. It's not just Camaro either. Same with others (especially stick cars - they get beat on a lot worse + factor in missed upshifts and wrong downshifts punishing the engine/driveline); . . . EVO, Mustang GT, Charger, Challenger . . .

All this nonsense about Mitsu being junk and the implication that Camaro is bulletproof is nonsense on both ends.

If you want something to last 10 trips around the planet, get something small and underpowered and drive it like you're hauling loose eggs on a table top.

LOL, keeps getting better and better...

And yup, looks are subjective. /shudder lol

OK, so if the Evo and Camaro are both broken down- I'll take the Evo because it'd be easier for me to push off the roadway?

Oh you could push it way faster and farther.

You compare their push off the roadway quarter mile's and the Camaro would be BUSLENGTHS behind you...

Part of that is because the wing serves as an ergonomic handle so you can stand at proper pushing height. I bet the trap would be 2 or 3 mph faster and that's what you'd notice in real world pushing.
