well usually if they were going to mod a lancer, they would put in a 4gc3 i think it is ( not a mitsubishi freak) and a vr4 engine, with 4wd drive train, on a 2 door lancer, after looking at all the money they spent on one, they could easily buy a real evo.

grinz - truzeno - buy yourself a ta22 - work the 2t ( or 2tg ) over just a little - and spank away
I used to take great glee in emarressing lancers of all kinds ( bar GSR's and EVo's which would flog me dead ) on a daily basis .
They are pretty average IMHO ..99.9 % of them will only have a pod filter, maybe new leads and a exhaust the size of your head - but not much other besides that big ol muffler at the end of a stock exhust system.
Anything G family powered( 2tg , 3tg , 18rg , 3sge etc ) will easily out horse most of these type of non turbo lancers without much effort at all
An example - Mildly worked sprinter/celica with a mildly tweaked 4age/2tg would be a good budget start ..
From there - move onto something like a st162 ( 3sge ) FWD , or if you want a turbo - and have about 10K to spend on your car - then move onto a st165/185 Gt-four or ma70 Supra ( or a worked off its tits ra23/28 with a 1ggte swap )

i recently finnished an 18RG convo in the RA23,
and i wanted to know what it can do vs other cars and the such,
and i know this dude with a lancer, its got an exhaust and cold air intake witha filter, nothing great, its also an auto..
i said i wanted to race him, he said no worries,
we couldnt get a run off the lights so we were going up the hiway at 100, im in 5th gear, and just strolling past him..
he gives it a boot, and i heard it change down a couple of gears..so i went straight to third and gave it hell..
i walked past him like nothing else!
so yeah... lancers are gay...
ive got another mate with an ST162, with exhuast mods and filters, and i raced him from a stand still...
i was keeping with him untill about 4th gear where he started to get away from me!

Because everyone who has a Celica knows they are not that fast... seems a fair comparison to me 
Both cars would be lucky to run 16's.
Unless you're talking about a GSR or EVO Lancer... or the occasional turbo'd (I know of one running 11's) or engine-swapped FWD ones.
From memory the 1.8 motor is into the 10's and they have a few 2.0 litre ones running 9's now.

I asked that question cause alot of Lancer owners with their EvoVI kits have bad attitudes like they are fast. And I was just curious if it is worth testing them.
And me pure amateur.. I know someones bound to have had experiences.....
Once I have a car lol. fancy having a GZE and no car to put it in....... still lookin for Sprinter ugh..... or Id nab Shanes MZ20 if budget was 2G higher...

just borrow your mums car like commowhore, camry, accord and go embarass the lancer, its more embarassing when he has a girlfriend which doesn;t know much about cars and thinks its fast, then when he looses he probably says i didn't think he was worthy enough to challenge me
there is this lancer around sydney its the biggest crack up ever, 4 door lancer, evo kit, evo 6 wing, evo 5 front bar, evo 6 sticker, its got all stickers all over malbro( i don;t know how to spell it), team red suns sticker, spoon sports sticker, and a whole bunch of others i even think its got a fake front mount intercooler, there is a pic somewhere i just gota find it.

lancers go ok if they fit an evo engine into it
only prob is its fwd
and also that evo engines r expensive to get and hard to find
2nd option is a vr4 engine
i have done afew
one was in a cordia the other in a cb lancer which had good hp
best option would be to have a stock looking lancer with evo engine so u dont stand out like a u know what
a cc lancer with an evo 4 engine would be just like an old fwd celica with a 3sgte
some ok hp with shithouse traction

I found this on the "toy shop" jap imports website..
It was pretty useful
| Toyshop auto imports wrote under their FAQ section |
Q. I have a late model Lancer/Mirage. What engine can I upgrade to?
A. This is a tricky one.... especially in the later CE shape where the gearbox is on the passenger side of the car. The only turbo option that you have is the 4G93 (1.8 ex Jap GSR Lancer) or the EVO IV/V/VI. Either of these options are VERY expensive (usually prohibitive for now). These are too new to obtain in quantities at the moment, and the MIVEC is the only other option (non-turbo, and equally as hard to get). DO NOT be tempted to try and turbo your existing engine- the expense and engine/driveline breakages are not worth the effort. If you are hell-bent on a turbo Lancer, you must be prepared to wait for one of these engines to become available. And remember, these are NOT cheap- expect upwards of $7000 for a complete half cut, less panels.
Why so hard to get and expensive? Well, virtually all of the Mitsubishi performance half cuts/engines are sold to Malaysia as that is where Protons are made (with no turbo variant sold there). You can imagine therefore that there are so many guys in Malaysia wanting to upgrade, and as such we (and most of the rest of the world!) are simply priced out of the market in Japan. If and when we get them, on rare occasions, we have to pays heaps for them. Sad but true!
