Here are what I've observed:

1. The more track time you see, the less you want to street race.

2. The more track time you see, the more bored you become of street driving.

3. The more track time you see, the more track time you want.



So it's not the car, per se, but how you're allowed to use the car on the street that bores me. The car is capable of so much more than what the legal limit allows. It's so well composed that I can hold the speed limit in practically any condition and still feel like I'm not even scraping the top of the iceberg.

I skipped reading all the threads but if you havent started with upgrading even a few of the basic parts of the car then you are missing out. Combine the handling performance of the Evo in stock form with some aftermarket products, there will be no other car on the road to compare this to. Right now there is a company making 505 WHP on pump gas with a water injection kit. Thats where I am headed.

I am not bored but am at the point of needing more power. Looking at installing a HKS catback, downpipe, MBC and DynoFlash. Let the games begin...

I don't like the STI or the Evo because of the styling. I ended up with a Forester XT. However, here's an article which surprised me. Apparently the EVO has one of the best re-sale values for a sedan. I was surprised because I wouldn't go near a used one!

You wouldn't go near a new one either. I don't see your point....

bored? get a bigger turbo... bored with that change up the suspension... add something new put in another TV screen there are soooooo many things you could do to an Evo rather than spending an extra 20k for an S4 and ending up with a slower car that makes you look like an old man drivin a buick....

Definitely not borded yet, but I can see myself wanting to get a new evo in 06. I have always want to have the newest thing available.

I thought the EVO IX was coming out in Spring/Summer '05, and the X in '07. Anyone got more accurate or actual dates? Or have the IX been shelved for MR?
