traded 03 in for 06

sup somewhat new here. i ended up trading the 03 in and the differance between two is very large. the 03 felt very laggy, but i had a intake untuned and a catback. the ix feels strong down below conpared to the 03, granted i don't have a feel above 4k but if it is as good downbelow it going to be insane uptop. the interior makes me feel like iam driving a 30k, carbon fiber accents are really nice acd is great. Iam still in somewhat shock cause i can't beleave i have a new evo. sofar the power is great but i haven't got on it to much, this breakin is going to kill me.as far as price the decided to go to jerrys and that was a good choice, they paid my 03 off and i got in the 06 500 under invoice. i was completly shocked but my car was already sold before i signed over the keys. so that helped me out in the long run. and the sales consultant got two evo sales in one night. so everybody was happy. i still can't stop grining. i will probably stop over at extreme for dyno day for a baseline pull. as far as pics goes i don't have a camera, but if anybody nearby wants to help (warrtalon) iam sure you would be interested in seeing pics. seeing is beleaving. maybe get pics at dynoday or whenever let me know.look forward to the meets in the future dc/metro area that is

electric blue gsr no ssl, car is amazing feels strong as ****. thanks guys, and let me say this no evo purchase is a bad idea trust me they just keep getting better. go for the 03 the only reason i traded up was because the preavious owner modded it and then took it to the dealer. voided the warrenty due to bc, coilovers. if i knew that i would'nt of bought it but i did anyway. now that i have the ix it feels alot better, built wise. really stiff compared to the 03. and btw its better than a srt4, got roll down windows. hehehe

Bro, it's never a bad idea to buy an EVO, no matter how shacknasty or obsolete it may be!
