Not to mention the interior materials used in the Z are light years ahead of that in the mitsu.
transparisteel? unubtanium? mimetic polymers?


The Evo is a great performance car, but its not top 3.... unless we are weighing performance/practicality.
why limit our list to top 3. why not top 5. so that it looks better when you are the best amongst all instead of just a few.

Thats all dependent of your perspective


The Z is faster, handles better, has higher higher handling limits, cool synchro rev match manual, and feels sportier... Its like the poor man's 911.

Just like the Camaro is the poor mans corvette.

The Evo X is a great performance car (mostly aftermarket) but if we are going value for dollar, it shouldn't be who has the most aftermarket parts/who can void their warranty faster.
bang for the buck is the best comparison.

or if you were comparing similiar 2 door, 2+2 coupes.



if we are comparing 2 seaters, we can throw all logic out of the conversation and bring in a corvette and a sky to compare...

shame there wasnt a camaro out in 1965...


and while GM sold more F-bodies than Ford sold mustangs, thats what allowed Ford to sell more numbers than the camaro in various years. but dont forget that the Camaro had a sister car that it competed against as well.... since the mustang wasnt much competition.

cheaper cars sell to more people.

but they arent the only ones that are going that route
