well, then i doubt you could accurately say that it spools much faster than the 8 or that it has more low end torque.

unless you drove the 8 on a daily basis, i don't see how you can make claim.

especially when you mind automatically helps you justify 35k....things just feel better.

kinda like when you change all the fluids in the car...feels like it runs sooo much better. know what im sayin?

actually you are incorrect, i have friends with evo viii's and ive driven them many times.

it doesnt take a month of driving to realize boost comes on quick or it has more low end tq.

BMI vol. 24 did a test of the evo IX and evo VIII, they like the 8 better. The evo IX had a nasty rear swing out and couldn't keep traction, a bit wierd for an AWD car. Watching the tach of both, you be hard press to notice a mivec difference, atlest when watching it, I didn't hear a sound difference or see a tach (jump in speed) difference.

Anyways, to the thread owner... GET SOME VIDEO! Spend 35k on a car, I know you have a videocamera,
