    wont be a series II being a 2002 model,

    auto or manual?

    CAI will help,

    maybe some YT high ratio rockers?

    tune,

    some ignition work? L67 coil packs, good leads

    in the end its still only a 6 and is quiet a bit heavier then the lancer

    I drive a 1.5L lancer and a 3.8L eco berlina and the berlina is a mile quicker than the lancer. To me it seems like something is wrong. Is the lancer stock or a quad turbo, 17 BOV ricer? Just doesn't seem quite right to me.

    You sure the lancer isn't an EVO lancer? Bit faster than a standard one lol

    if u dont drive it right than a lancer will beat u are u just dumping your foot on the accelerator cause if so she wont move use your gears as well
