2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Just like the Subaru, the Mitsubishi Evolution has a huge legion of fans backing up it's reputation ! Evos are famous for having small light engines that can kick the ass of almost every car on them streets ! It's sport appeal comes from the numerous wins through the years competing in one of the worlds toughest motor sport events WRC. A huge boost for the lancer and all its variations. Even I dreamt of this car ! After all, you can't spell LOVE without EVO ! Sadly Mitsubishi decided to put an end to its most loved car and this year released the Evolution Final Edition *Cries in Spanish*.
1. Toyota Supra
The Toyota Supra started its production back in 1978. Great car, good performance and an affordable pricetag. The mk4 though was the model that became legendary. With this version Toyota took a big leap in the direction of a more serious high-performance car. Again using subframe, suspension,and drivetrain assemblies from the Z30 Soarer (Lexus SC300/400), test model pre-production started in December 1992 with 20 models, and official mass production began in April 1993. The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling and featured two new engines: a naturally aspirated Toyota 2JZ-GE producing 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 5800 rpm and 210 lb·ft (280 N·m) at 4800 rpm of torque and a twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version.
The styling, while modern, does seem to borrow some elements from Toyota's first grand touring sports car, the Toyota 2000GT. For the export model (America/Europe) Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo's engine (smaller, steel wheeled turbochargers, bigger fuel injectors, etc.). This increased the power output to 320 hp (239 kW; 324 PS) at 5600 rpm and 315 lb·ft (427 N·m) at 4000 rpm. (326 hp / 325lbft for Europe)
Why the Supra deserves our 1st place ? Because the hype around it is so huge that it doesn't matter if you are Muscle, Euro or an Imports fan, every one respects the true street king !
