I am going to keep her: 03 RR with 560whp Switzer tuned 10.98@128mph and only 2,900 miles on her. I simply have to much into her now to let her go and she is hella fun on the street!

I will be keeping mine till I can afford a Turbo Porsche brand new, and since that won't be happening for awhile ( probably never) this is it till death or theft. I've wanted one ever since I saw Jackie Chan drive one backwards while handcuffed in one of his movies (EvoIII or IV), then of course Grand Turismo came out and the love affair was born.

I am keeping mine for as long as I can. If any other future car can beat the evo in performance, style, potential and cost around 30 grand then I might give it a thought about trading.

i will keep the '03, but i'm still debating on the '05. a new CLS 55 AMG is tempting...

well i stick with the evo.i just got it, though.
i am not a fan of that " today i love evos and tomorrow uhh, mmmhh i love 68`mustangs " sort of weird car enthusiasts.

evos are childish, have more or less too harsh ride quality, drink a little too much octane and have huge monster spoilers that makes mercedes and bmw drivers sure that they are on top of the "understatement stylish" world -

...and thats exactly why i love the mighty EVO

This thread doesn't pertain to me as I own an STi, but from my experiences on the "Subaru side," I will most definitely be keeping my 2005 STi for a very long time to come.

Since I had my Eclipse GSX I've been addicted to the 4G63. If the X has one, then I might consider it depending on how it handles, drives, etc.

I love my damn car though

do you guys think that the 4g63 will hold its value or will be like the supra engines that are very desired among people?? cause if yes then i will keep my evo specially cause its an rs which was a limited production model.maybe it will cost a lot of money in the years to come??
