Great sports car for the money!

For the money you cant get a better sports car. Its reliable even with modifications. Capable of big power and can run with exotics that are 3x the cost. Best car to come out of Mitsubishi Motors in a long time!

A MUST HAVE SPORT CAR!!!

Okay im 26yrs old, and i basically been saving up for my dream car (toyota supra). Its now Dec 04, 2010 and honestly... i have gotten tired of waiting around for a good one to come on the market for that right price!!! So one day i seen a 2005 Evo ssl for sale, and to make a long story short!!! I was bored one day and decided to test drive the car. Guys!!! I fell in love with the performance, handling and how comfortable this car was!!!! The guy was very nice and he let me drove his car for hours... I have gotten alot of attention from cops and ppl in general. So far know problems. The mileage on the dash 62,251. I,ve also put an exhaust, manual boost controller and intake, and i retuned the car. I made 345whp on stock turbo and stock enginie. IT PULLS TO 165MPH EASY!!! I paid 15,600$ for the car YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR, IF YOU TEST DRIVE IT!! THE CAR STAYS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND PPL I DONT KNOW STOP BY AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. I STAY IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA.
