Default The Evo looks like a Halo enemy

Just my opinion.

The Z is a beautiful car, but whatever makes you happy.

The stock gauges are trash in the evo though. I have three other friends with evo's and two of them had the stock boost, etc gauges and they were crap.

13.4 is respectable.

These lines just look awful. The roof is too high. THe trunk is too short. The wing is too large. THe profile is too high.

My other friend has an EVO8 with 405HP and that car is a blast to drive. If you only care about the experience behind the wheel and can live with the looks then go for it!

Go for it if you like losing lots of money on mods and depriciation for a boxy car.

Uhh...

You are being foolish.

a) Convertible = Gone
b) '05 350ZR you will have dumped $11000 into a total loss on trade.
c) '06 EVO9 reenter into new car depreciation but likely faster than the Z.
d) Throw away almost $10k in mods because of the trade.

On that note stop being an attention ***** and leave.

I could be wrong, but I doubt you'd feel the same about the Evo over the long term.

Just get the EVO!!!
(Especially if you can see yourself in one.)

I would have gotten one, but I REALLY couldn't see myself in one. Not really my style. They feel like FWD until you smash the pedal. (just my take, no offense)

I live in Socal and just love RWD cars...to me they're more exciting to tame. Especially when the weather is 90% dry all the time.


Best thing would be just to save a little and buy a used Evo 8 or 9 somewhere down the line. The best of both worlds. (wait..did I just say buy a "used" mitsubishi??") I take that back.

Raced an EVO 9 from a highway roll twice. Pretty even both times with one or the other starting barely first and getting the advantage. Funny thing is, afterwards he asks, "Is that thing stock?!?" I said, "Yep!" (except my pop-charger...but that doesn't count haha.)
