So used ones brought up from the US then? I wanted one in 03 but it was going to cost way more than it was worth to try to get one up here. Even now pre 08s are scarce and go for way more money than their condition usually warrants.

I'm apart of a close friends/church members car club in which there are about 15 members having performance/luxury cars. The leader of the group owns an EVO X and I own my GT86. His car is fast in the straight lines for sure, but when it comes to our platform of cars agility and potential power boosting, and how much the EVO X costs, it's more effective to buy a FRS/BRZ/GT86 and add FI to get the fun straightline AND curve carving ability that innately belongs to our cars.
If you want to talk numbers as well, stock EVO X is 291hp at the crank and 300lb*ft. The car itself weighs about 3600. Our car boosted at Stage 1 usually grants about 280hp at the crank and 210lb*ft granted with slightly better mods a boosted twin will best a stock EVO X in power/weight. The cost to do so: About the cost of the GSR trim (a few $$$$ cheaper than MR). All in all: Everyone has their own preference. I personally like nimble, lightweight coupes that have an fantastic amount of power for their weight, but your decision is definitely how you feel! Cheers! |
