I know it can make stupid power but, you'll spend stupid money to do it. You throw enough money at anything and you can make power.

It looks good. I can't argue that but, the interior is...well....it's over a decade old and it shows.

It's heavy.

I dig the motor and that seems to be it's biggest selling point but, I'd much rather put it in an IS300 or something.

I like your thoughts too, but the IS300 still does not have the best interior. But it would be a rare car to see like that. I still say go with the ARRRRRR

With the motor and with the cage? My VX '92 weighs a little over 2k with no cage and the Si D series in it.

Because some of people(Not me) think the CTR looks like a POS and the supra is more sporty. I like the supra but like mentioned before mods can become very expensive. But IMO RWD > FWD

I think the question is, money, if you have money, Supra, if not, Civic.

I'd turn the evo into the weekend car and buy a supra for daily driving. Well actually I wouldn't I'd get something more luxurious. I come from hondas also, but I really dislike fwd. and although it might be rare, its not rare seeing a ctr wannabe.

Is the supra twin turbo, if so, then thats what i would get, even if thats a rhd ctr, ive had a rhd itr before and they bring nothing but unwanted attention for the most case

Supra's are alot of money, I'd get one if I had money lying around..but the civic seems like a good deal! you can use the money you save for a diff. swat since your buddy is not giving you the swapped motor!

Civic FTW! Cheaper & more reliable... plus you already have it set to go with a fully prepped motor. You're keeping the Evo, right? Why are we even debating this?

Seriously is that a no brainer?!?!? Would you feel super cool cruising around in a honda?!?! Maybe u would but, all it is a honda and the general public could careless....I guess the point of a weekend cruiser to me at least is to make that eco friendly person driving there homo **** prius drop there jaw and make em say "God Damn that is one hot ride" Go with the supra...it's hot, fast, and definitly a whole like prettier than any honda I've ever seen.

Have you ever driven the EK9? RWD in something that has most of its weight up front sounds like poor traction to me. Its probably unsafe to corner hard with it, but thats just my guess....

all i have to say is 800+hp stock motor... just slap on fuel and a big turbo kit and you got a bad monster.... fwd sucks.. I had a 600hp honda before my evo and i regret building it. went no where... had to have slick to even go anywhere. fwd sucks... all i gotta say is 11 inch rims in the back with 315 tires look mean as hell..
