" I am writing in response to a letter by Matthew Hansen published in your July 2007 issue. After reading his letter, complaining about how Evolutions are getting "overdone", I was appalled. Being the owner of a 2006 Evolution MR, this hit close to home. I was immediately disturbed at the idea of my screamingly fast all-wheel-drive terror becoming boring. What's worse, it seems as if my car isn't as fast as my timeslips says it is. Mr. Hansen has a 12-year-old sport-economy that routinely tromps Evolutions? Oh no.
Surely I had read this wrong. I quickly scanned his letter again, but to my dismay, there it was "
not to mention my 1995 Saturn SC2 has beaten a number of Evos..." I couldn't stand it. I had just traded n my 350Z because I was tired of being picked on by M3s, when all of a sudden I find out my new mount can't even hold its own against a Saturn. I had once beleived that purchasing an Evo IX MR bought me a performance pedestal that would rival the $70,000 Porsche Cayman S. That belief no seems so childish, so naive.
With nausea washing over me in a way I can't put into words, I sold my Evolution. For $2700. That's all it took to put myself into the beast that is the SC2. And I couldn't be happier. This baby puts down 124bhp through one front wheel. Then there's the timeless mid-90's styling and an interior to die for. Just wow. With this being said, I would first like to thank Mr. Hansen for writing in, for without his insight I might have never known about the Evolution-trouncing capabilities of the 1995 Saturn SC2. Thanks for the laughs.
