I am one..... i still have a S2000 that is for track only, but I did trade in my street going S2000.

I am happy... the Evo does everything very well....dragracing i got a few 13.4 @ 102mph time slips.... I was 2-3 seconds ahead of the nearest S2000 at 2 different time trials with www.nasaproracing.com at Beaverun and Summit point....and it hauls my kids and gets reasonable gas mileage (about 18-20mpg).

Mine is totally stock except some shitty aftermarket brake pads (i was sold the wrong ones).

For anyone interested, my brother has a used EVO for sale with only 1600 miles on it (he's a dealer and it is not his personal car). Silver, tall wing with sunroof. Nice car, I drove it myself when I was visiting over the weekend. I thought about buying one earlier this year but I bought a different turbo, all wheel drive car, and it isn't an Audi or Subaru.

Congrats on the purchase Evo's are highly moddable, so 500HP sounds about right when it's all said and done

I move my 1 year old and 3 year old in the Sti, they have lots and lots of room with the car seats. I cant see leg space being a problem until their teens. The Evo does have a bit more space.

I just recently purchased a Blue By You EVO and I love it. It is a very fun car to drive and is very moddable. I only have about 1500 miles on mine and I will start modding soon. Congrats on the purchase by the way, I hope you enjoy it.

it is sort of amazing how many people (like you and me) have swapped S2000's for the Evo....

I like the AWD, 4 doors... it has been a better overall performance car (drag racing, road course), and I could care less about putting the top down....not my thing....

I should plan to modify my Evo, but.....for now all stock.

The Vishnu computer upgrade sounds like a good place to start... flatten out that torque curve.
