Yea used italian exotics are very reasonable to maintain too, and known for their reliability.

I can't justify spending that much a month on insurance... I guess ill be keeping the evo for now and enjoy it with some track days this summer.

Not 100% sure. I lose the fun factor in cars fairly quickly.

The older CTS-Vs had some serious issues. I'd probably stay away, although they are quite fun to drive.

I fell in love with the evo since the evo 6, american didn't get it but I was hooked n on a constant hunt for my evo. Second, the quickness is unprecedented. One day I.was merging ontothe hwy an evo was infront I looked back to c the flow of traffic for less than 10 sec n the evo was almost a mile infront....jaw droppa...no other car has tht launch bro!

It sounds like you're just bored with the evo....have you modded anything on it lately? Adding even a small mod or two can ignite the love you first had for the car.

I almost decided to sell mine when I got pulled over for modified exhaust a couple months ago...then I started having bad dreams that I actually DID sell it...I just can't picture myself driving any other car.

Those Caddy CTS-V's shake and rattle just as bad as an EVO... Ask my father who tossed his for an 07 vette. That car was literally falling apart. Just stay away. Not to mention, the depreciation on that Caddy is probably worse than your Evo will be/is.
