how much did you pick the evo up for? im assuming its used kus its an 8. the Z isnt conducive to kids which i plan to have in the future. the evo is the first thing that came to mind if i ever have to give up the z.

Bought it from a local Mitsu dealership used with 20k miles for 24k clean title, you can get it cheaper. Must if you kids lol. I spend $950 on mods 3" TBE, tune, boost gauge, MBC set at 22psi and K&N intake and im at 305whp pump gas 91 octane!

Thanks for the comments, I was close on getting the IS250 way more classy but damn I test drove the IS250 and felt no power when you step on the gas.
