I think Mitsubishi has fallen off of it's freakin' rocker and may not ever get up. This is ridiculous, it's like selling someone a mountain bike and then voiding the warranty when you find dirt on the tires. We're talking about Evos here - 270hp, turbo charged, 4wd, (supposedly) race bred rockets. Tell me these cars weren't built to be driven. Or maybe it's just an illusion and the rods are made of toothpicks..
Autocrossing isn't really that hard on cars, autocrossing is hard on tires - drag racing, inexperienced drivers, trees and Armorall are hard on cars; three minutes in a parking lot at 60mph and a couple of smashed cones shouldn't be much of a threat to a confident, competent manufacturer. Then again I guess Mitsu isn't really known for their reliability.
It's really too bad, I autocross regularly and the Evos are impressive to watch and very competitive. They don't offer much other than performance though, I think they're kinda silly looking and the interior leaves a lot to be desired. If Mitsu is gonna have a cow when people actually go drive the cars then I guess the drivers will be spending their money elsewhere..
Long live Mazdaspeed..
