10sec is getting an Evo - Thoughts?

[10sec]

Bru is a proud supporter of the Evo X BTW, i was meaning to tell you, I saw the Top Gear episode about the Evo X vs STI and Jeremy Clarkson HATES the STI, and from what I saw that thing handles like garbage too. So considering my options, which are either a overpriced evo 8 or 9, or low mileage Evo X's for like $3-$4k more. I'm going to try for the X's and see if i can work them into my budget. Going to go look at one on Saturday if it's still there, maybe make an offer On top of the way overpriced 8's and 9's, they're fucking IMPOSSIBLE to find stock or near it. Every single one of those things are molested, or awaiting a $1000 timing chain/water pump install.

On the plus side dealers were practically trying to give Evo X's away when new. Which is probably why 09's don't seem to exist....

I've had the STi and GSR X on a road course back to back and would go with the GSR X no doubt. But I've never driven an EVO IX so couldn't make that comparison.

I used to dislike the looks of the Evo x but it's really grown on me. It looks especially good without a wing.

Totally growing on me day by day. Can't wait to check out the one on Saturday and go for a ride.

Thanks Mookie

Here's the one I'm e n t i c e d with right now, going to go look at it Saturday. Personally I'm happy with the price, if i can get this out the door i might pick it up. Might be doing other things Saturday too

Awesome dude

You like the price? IDK if they're budge, as far as I can tell that's the cheapest one around here given the miles.

awesome man. the evo was the other car I was considering when I got the TA

You would look awkward in an evo, i think you made the right choice. You just need to sort out your issues so i can see you make a 1/4 mile pass as fast as I make 1/8 passes

Price seems good compared to suggested KBB value with that mileage. Might want to ask the dealership for a carfax. It's obviously not infallible but there might be an accident on the report if they're asking less. I think it showed $31k when I checked KBB.

Definitely on the agenda. Just for shits and giggles I'm going to have them appraise the red car

Brand new 2011 Mustang GT MSRP is 29K now.... Not saying, Just saying.....

Then you have to get the optional goodies for it to be optimal for a road course like where he intends to take this car.

For some odd reason I could not see you climbing out of an evo.

Yep, they produced so many in 08 that didn't sell that they held off making them in 09 to clear out the inventory.

OP, get the evo. Just think if you start to mod the crap out of it, you will never have to fight traction from a dig. If you get an older one get the 5 speed. I hear it's more durable than the MR's 6 speed.

Evo

I'd rather have the Evo over a mustang.

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

The 4B11 is the devils engine, the 4G63 rules all!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It seems decently reliable around the 400whp mark. Plenty for a road course.

I liked my evo 9 but the evo x looks evean better I think, I had just a ams stage 2 kit and it really woke the car up boost set at 21psi it would rip the tires off launching off the limiter, but on a good road with good tires it hooked and booked

So then you have to pay destination because it's a new car (probably $800-900) and are over the $32k mark for something that's not significantly faster around a track :weaksauce:

Obviously he has his heart set on an X, and they are bad-ass cars regardless.
