What is that...like 30-35K in today's inflation (20 years later)? I bought my Evo NEW at 34K. With Coilovers, several sets of tires (part of that 40K), brakes, clutch, exhaust, intake, 2 sets of cams, electronics, etc....6K in mods isn't a shit ton.

Shit..I bet you have $1K in that utterly ridiculous wing you put on your non-Sierra. Take that Ford emblem off until you put the 16-valve YB in that bitch. Not to mention that turd isn't even AWD. For $5K, a DSM would stomp mudholes in your car.

Sorry, I don't even have $300 in the wing, and yes, its a genuine RS wing. Id love to do a YB swap, that would be great. For about $700 I could do a Volvo twin cam swap, and have almost the same results. I didn't say I had $5000 in the engine, I have that in the whole car.

And it is a 25 year old car. Congrats. If you want to compare apples to apples, then do so. It's ridiculous to compare what I paid for my car new, to what you paid USED for a much older car.

To state the obvious...the price I paid for my Evo several years back is likely similar to what the original owner of your car paid back in the 80's. Until modern man has access to time machines, what someone pays 25 years ago compared to present day doesn't mean shit. Atari 2600 games used to be $3-4 back when I was a kid compared to $60 Xbox games nowadays. Xbox must suck!!!
