And gas MPG sucks.

But no question it is a great car to drive.

^^^All this...on money...wow...such insight...doge approved :thumbup:

This was not a tread about my finances. This was to get input from people who have owned/own Evos. I like to flip cars, it's fun and I am good at it.

I had a 08 WW GSR. Loved it, made great power on 93 octane and simple bolt ons + basic fuel mods.(371/303). Not to mention the ease of fitting wide wheel combinations underneath the stock body. For a car of its size, it handles amazingly... A lot better then my previous GD chassis STI's that were heavily modified.

As for the interior, I never owned another Mitsubishi until after buying my X, which was an earlier gen Evo (vi). However, I owned multiple Wrx's and sti's. Pre GR models and will say the X interior is better then the GD interiors. However, I maybe a little biased to the recaros.

I'd definitely stay away from the MR model...

If I don't make sense I apologize... I'm a little out of it.

I would always take the STI transmission - with DCCD and two limited slips - over a beefed up WRX transmission with aftermarket limited slips. It's just a better place to start from.
