i want something that's also mod friendly. Basically an import from japan, not europe. European mods are always so damn expensive. I'm still looking back at the evo IX MR. Long beach mitsubishi actually has a black one, brand new..with no miles on it. It's crazy.

I was reading this and I agree, the MR is not worth the $5k-7K price difference over the other models.

the evo's 5 speed trans is stronger than the 6 speed. i talked to one guy at laguna and he said they had to make a part thinner on the 6 speed and it can't handle the heat. he had to replace it (or the trans, i can't remember) twice.

Find you a low miles or a new one if you can. I rather get a new, that way you have a better knowledge of the previous history.

+1 on the 335i coupe. I heard they are sick. Really wanted one, but too expensive.

ok..i'm doing a few financial moves, and if things look good this time next year....GTR! I just remembered that 918 Z used to have a spec-v with K-sports, and spanked a brand new stock evo IX MR on streets of willow. So..screw the evo. the 335i is a good choice, but to expensive to mod, might as well fi the z if i'm going to get the 335i. Hmmm, thought about the 98 240sx se with a blacktop sr, but i drive a z, and exterior wise, i'd be downgrading wayyyy too much. The new Z's I found out according to jeff at WCN are horrible to mod, and not friendly at all. same with the 06's. Nissan will make it probably hard to squeeze alot of power out of the 09' 370Z. (No it won't be a 4.0 liter guys otherwise nissan will lose all it's market on the new G37, which would be a bad business move). So it's either the gtr, or we'll see what else comes out then, maybe i'll just wait a really long time for the 2011 mazda rx-7. Mehh...so, not getting rid of car just yet.
