Thanks for the insight guys. I guess it's time to pop the "mod" cherry on the Evo and start unleashing the beast. Going to get her suspensioned up. Not really going for high HP, but a well balanced car.
The reason I ask is, when I test drove both FRS/BRZ, I was amazed at how well the car was balanced. Would just be a nice platform to work with. I think I'll wait till I pay off the Evo, still got 2 years left on payments, and if I traded it in the dealers would kill me in trade in value and lowball me.
Maybe I'll just hold off until the third production year, hopefully the BRZ STI will be out by then.
