It's just not worth it. I need to pay off this 8 and soon.. warranty? well, the car is pretty bullet proof anyway (outside of intentionally ******* it out) so I should be good until it's paid off.. then I won't care about the warranty since I'll get all that car note money back in my pocket.

But the MR has that sweet @$$ Graphite Gray and the shocks and the even sicker BBS wheels, but the stereo isn't up to my audiophile standards. And the black housing. Any ideas?
Thanks, RobDogg. I didn't realize that. Damn me.

My friend just bought an IX MR and STOCK he is making 292whp/297 tq. (240 corrected) He will put his exhaust 3" exhaust this week and he will probably gain about 20 more hp. So that means for all of the stuff that I have done to my car he will only be about 20 horse behind me with an exhaust only. And he still hasn't voided his warranty.
Jealousy you ask.....mmmmmm just a little bit. The IX's are definetely the way to go. Might have to trade in the 8

Well gosh, maybe because he likes the little extras? I mean really. Why spend the money on an Evo at all? Could have bought an old beat up Eclipse or something like that for MUCH less and spent your savings making it go faster.
Please know that I am not a bandwagon jumper. I probably won't ever sell my 8. It was more of a post to state that I have finally had a chance to really see what the IX can do. The IX makes great power and for very little money you can get great power and not void your warranty. I love my 8 and my power. I have pretty much all but wasted my warranty...but I love it and I'll probably never trade it.
