If you're bored with your Evo you're
A. ready for a motorcycle,
B. a major hardass & aren't going to be satisfied by any car, or
C. ready for the next level. An M12 GTO would be a good $90,000 car, If you can wait for it to be made. A Lotus would be a slight upgrade. A Super 7 would make all of the guys at the AutoX cream their pants when you pull up in a street legal Caterham.

I'm bored with the power, the car is kind of weak stock, but I'll be changing that soon

A super 7 is the ultimate! Last year I bought a Caterham 7 Superlight R (from Caterham USA)-- Produced 230 bhp on the dyno in a 1200lb car. And yes it is streat legal. I love terrorizing the canyons out here in Colordao. It has awesome handling, a 3.5 sec 0-60 and a sense of driving envolvement it is truely awesome.

I am thinking of running it in the Open Track Challenge that is coming up in April.
Could be fun!

Or maybe the people who are sick of their cars are trying to fill their empty lives with material things...

I drove a C32 before and I tell you if you do cams, computer, and turbo back the TQ of the EVO kills the C32, Also have you ever drove the E55?? That thing is a beast!

I have not had the cahnce to drive the new e55, it is sick though. As far as my c32 goes it packs a pretty sick punch ont he top end with the ecu flash and the overdrive pulley's

I plan on pumping my Evo up to @400whp, so I'm sure it will be more entertaining...don't get me wrong I still love the car, the handling is sweet....

I agree with this statement.

I LOVE my Evo, and I cherish it to death. I take very good care of her, but sometimes I wish I had a second car for daily driving, beating up on, and dragging the hell out of it. Kinda a hard combination, eh? Beating up, luxury, daily driving, racing

I would LOVE to have another car, but having 2 car payments a month and 2 insurance payments isn't the greatest idea in the world for me.

I wonder if you guys ever drive your Evos to the limit? I mean push the limit of its cornering ability at each and every other corner... push the limits of its braking... make every lap faster and faster...

Take it out on sand with a couple of mates and dig huge trenches with your 4WDs... do lock to lock handbrake turns... drift...

If you can get bored of that... time for you to drive a people carrier.. EVOs are for synthetic-racing-oil-blooded people who live for the speed and the thrill of handling a perfectly balanced car. Did u buy the wrong car?

I think the problem is that you guys drive at A'xs and T'days.. i know its hard to drive hard on your streets without the law beating down on you... but unfortunately.. the EVO IS a car that stands out in winding roads.. amongst other traffic... overtaking a 5 car line up in 4 secs... and slowing down to a halt in 3....

Im getting the chance to discover what this car is all about .
Its a fun car to drive and you dont have to spend lots of $$$$ to have a reliable fun car ....
One of the best decisions i have made .....
Each time you track the car you get to see whats is all about ...
