Lol, yeh.... ;-)

 

what do you mean by build quality? I did about 15 track days and 45k miles on my evo without anything ever going wrong. It was pushing about 320whp or 70 over stock the whole time. Only reason it's gone is because i crashed into a wall during a track day. Very durable car. It was an Evo IX. If you plan on adding more power or tracking it just make sure to get the 5 speed as the 6 speed transmission is a weak point.

An aside: if you are worried about insurance and thinking about an evo check before you buy. It was quite a bit more expensive then my viper to insure.

 

G8 GT

 

Several people I talked to said that the STI was build like a tank and could take a beating, while most said Mitsu's as a whole aren't that mechanically sound. I do like the evo X looks a lot better. What kinda gas mileage did you get with your IX?

 

Well I said no chevys, but forgot ponchos... lol

 

Maybe I should just buy another S and get something like a truck to haul people when need-be. Seeing as how it is such a magnificent car.... :-)

 

I was going to say get a newer S2000 but it sounds like you got there on your own.

 

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Does track day insurance cover something like that?

 

Find you a used 911 to test drive ! It will change your life and you will KNOW for sure what car you WANT!
P.S. Be sure to tell Rockville how much of a POS the Vette was.

 

LOL

There is a reason GM should have went out of business. So far I've got $21k in parts, not counting labor in fixing mine/keeping mine running.

The list is as follows:

1. Clutch would get stuck to the floor, had to reach down and pull pedal back up
2. Electrical gremlins out the wazzo, from not wanting to start, to the traction control/ stability control failing, ABS box failed, stock radio failed
3. Gas tanks developed a crack that ran along the tops of them that cost $800 apiece (which after months of hounding, GM admitted it was a defect)
4. Stock shifter failed
5. transmission started randomly grinding gears
6. sun visor bracket failed that held the sun visor in place
7. center console hinge broke, as well as the little "lock" thingy
8. bracket that held the floor mats in broke
9. right at 60k miles the motor dropped a valve, killing the motor and most of it's attached parts (due to a bad batch of valve springs according to several people I talked to)
10. pop up head lights would sometimes work fine, other times not at all, sometimes going up by themselves for no reason
11. factory seats were garbage, the leather was horrible, and the seats under load would sometimes move, i.e. go to a leaned back position (not cool when driving "excited")
12. there's a lot more but I have to go now.... work calls
