My New Evo IX MR

I just picked up a 2006 evo IX MR today and am just getting back from North Carolina with it. After a 6 hour drive with it I can say that I love it!!! It is completely stock and still pulls nicely. I thought it might feel slow or underpowered to me since I drive my Supra's often, but to my surprise it feels very solid. It handles better than I could have imagined and I can almost say that I like this thing more than my Supra's! Maybe its just the "new toy" feeling but I really think this car is incredible and very visually appealing with the BBS rims, the wing, nice interior, and the fin like things on the roof. I just thought I would put this out there for those of you evo guys that want Supra's, what you got is great and I believe much more fun and MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE to drive than a Supra. Still love the Supra's but I can truly say I am amazed with this Evo and thanks to all the guys on the forum that encouraged me to go ahead and buy an EVO.

Congrats on your purchase and hope you enjoy yours as much as much as I enjoy mine. Guess the MR will be the daily driver . Woops missed the 92 Prelude there.

keeping the evo stock for now but I wanna do a 35r setup in the future but I want built motor, drivetrain, etc. done all at once when I do it so for now it is just a great daily driver.
