The ONLY reason to not buy an Evo...

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?se...cal&id=4932114

All 4 passengers who were said to have "serious" injuries have since been pronounced dead The Lancer/Evolution is the most unsafe car according to the IIHS and barely passed US crash tests. *Note, you can't even get an Evo in Canada because it failed their crash test.

How about the fact that the clutch is rated for 5TQ?

Clutch is fine if it isn't abused. There are people with 40,000+ on the stock clutch. Unfortunately with the vehicles performance and given the nature most people drive it, it gives up prematurely. Mitsu designed the clutch to be an aggressive dd not a drag car. It does fine with track day sessions and such, just not clutch dropping high revving lauching. Drag racing=dead clutch

Not sure why they didn't give a similiar clutch to the 3/S that lasts until BPU power.

That's like asking why they don't do ANY warranty work to the Evo. It's just Mitsubishi these days.
