i work at a local mitsy dealer, in fact the number 1 evo dealer in the the country. we have 13-14 new evos on our lot. they are a awesome car! very nice review. it would be hard for a vette owner to get used to 2.0 inline 4 low end, but when boost hits, its addictive! its a great all around car, for fun and the family. much better than a STI!!! 
yep...
I remember when there was suzuka blue with factory ground effects they had for sale once displayed on a ramp or something.

Cristople- No, my C5 is not my DD.
Sweeper- I will not be selling my C5. This car will be in addition to my C5- I'm selling my Jeep Cherokee DD.
The curb weight of a GTO is, IIRC, around 3700 lbs. The EVO MR was 3300, according to the salesman.
