EVO IX MR vs EVO X vs 07/08 STI?
Selling my s2k maybe this year or maybe early next just depends on when the car Iw ant comes out.........so I decided..........AWd + turbo..........
So now I can't decide what to do........
EVO IX MR, i could do this at the end of summer or fall.....best EVO made so far, high 12 second 1/4.....always win in every competition against STI, and dynos higher than STI....but the new model is just around the corner...
EVO X..........all new redesign, at least 300BHP, AWD, better interior but........it is geared more for masses, could be heaviar, loses the normal bulletproff EVO engine, comes out either early 2007 or late 2007......Mitsu UK says early 2007...
07 or 08 STI. 07 comes this summer might have chnages but if its still the 300HP and 300TQ which is dynoing lwoer than the EVO then I will pass.........rumor that it could be redesigned but that might come in 2007...2007 all new redisgn to make it look better/sportier and power bump. no way will Subby let EVO gain more ground...
so what do I do?????????????
the wild card in this is the supra which comes out next year late fall and even g35 coupe new redesigned and maybe 330HP...
for now I want EVO or STI........
should I wait or byu somethign at the end of the year? the s2k is almost back to stock so not to fun to drive her anymore

be patient. Warmer weather = vert weather. You might enjoy the s2k for a while longer.
If you can't wait. Get a C6.
If you must have one of these cars. Go with the one that appeals visually and "feels" right to drive.
These cars are all easy to modify so stock numbers shouldn't be an issue in the future.

yeh they do, most I would do is Exhaust and dyno flash for EVO. Work more on stereo, apperance since 12s is perfect for me 
0-60 in 4.3-4.5 seconds is cool to 
down the road more modding but the warranties are $#$#@#@ on sTI and EVO s if you mod. The warrnties are so much longer than honda, drive train is like 100,000 miles 6 years... the crappy service I get from honda, denting my car, not oiling her up correctly, stripping screws, overcharging can't get as bad as mitsu.

sliver- sorry i didnt pnm you back it was busy at the dealership today. our dealership is a WORKS distributor. works make some awesome stuff for evos.
i am VERY evo basied, i have two friends that have EVO/STI. the ST is a nice car, you cant ignore that. but it look fugly and i have yet a sti crack 900awhp. there are 5 900awhp evos in the us now. the 4G63 is a very strong motor. we are the only dealer that covers modded evos, so you would have to worry about that.
come down to the dealership and i'll make sure you get a good dealer, we are the biggest evo dealer in 15 states.
as far the the X goes, we have heard very little about it. we do know it will have a VERY advanced SMG-type system as an option, supposedly better than bimmer and vw's DSG. i'll have to drive it to beleive that one. 300+ hp, (335) last i heard. its going to be wicked! 0-60's in the low 4 sec and high 12's in the 1/4. it might be here in 08-09.
as far as the IX goes, this summer mitd will release the IX wagon with a very early version of the "SMG" system it. we suspect to be calling it the 9.5 but officailly it will be a IX.
mits is being very hush, about evo's future right now, all we know is that mits want to blow the doors of suby! i say very hush because they have already told us that we will be getting a ralliart version of the galant, dont laught, think SE-R slayer. i am really excited, mits it going balls out rite now, and why not they have nothing to lose!!
get the evo!!

I like both cars looks, I mean STI is cool but I cant live knowing that the EVO is supreior to STI in performance...95% of reviews always pick EVO over STI. seems like
