2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR: Massage Chair

Fire up its very vocal engine, and our Lancer Evo GSR v-v-vibrates l-l-like c-c-crazy. Kind of like a go-kart. Or a ride-on lawn mower.

The big surprise is that in everyday driving, this trait isn't as annoying as you'd think. It never translates into quite as much fun as the guy in the massage chair shown above seems to be having. Still, at various points, it did feel as if a few very energetic magic hands were doing their thing. M-mmm, n-no m-more k-kinks.

Similar to the 2.5 liter Subaru boxer engines. They rock back and forth at idle. Gotta get used to it :)

So, enough about the muffler. When are you guys going to install the vishnu chip, suspension kit, and new wheels?

New clutch might be a good idea too...

"But our Octane Blue Pearl pistol showed up with about $2,495 worth of aftermarket stuff that pumped our power up to about 370 hp. But we have lots more we want to do to this car."

A car that does that in just the right spot, might be worth considerably more money ;)
