Since mine is basically track duty only, I'd consider a P-Car Turbo or R8. Plenty of techs by me and I could stop garnishing my wages to aftermarket companies (Evo is paid off).

If you want to be realistic for under $40k I would begin hunting down nobles. As long as you're willing to work on it yourself.

And honestly for all the x haters out there think of how stupid your arguement is. The car weighs a couple hundred pounds more ergo I hate it.

I think the dislike is more than the extra weight.

What will you buy after your evo? FROM MITSU after the lack of compassion for the evo community?

wth the eclipses only come with sporttronic bulljob. guessing paddle shifter

-belay my last on the eclipses

I would buy a lightly used EVO instead of a brand new one. That's if one could be had.

I plan on keeping my 8.

I might look to get another evo later on after this one is paid for, maybe somehow get a 7 or maybe a 9 MR.

It would be sweet to have a 7.

Keeping my VIII for a track car and will try to buy a used low mileage X (once the prices haven't gotten ridiculous). If they have, then either a new STi sedan (assuming I like the looks) or an S4, 335xi. I need my AWD.

As much as I love my evo its kind of ironic that after 5 years of ownership it has made me never want to own a mitsubishi vehicle ever again. I guess its a love/hate thing.

For me, the new wrx or 135 has really peaked my interest.

The only thing I have not liked about my evo or my lancer is the temp control knob. Eventhat is fixable though, all I need to do is by the kit.

Other than that I have to say mine has treated me well. Of course I have used every bit of my God given abilities to maintain it properly and do anything I have to it.
