That RS you're talking about is very clean and those are rarer even than an SE. I bet you'd probably feel the same way like you do about your SE, in regards to turning that RS into a track car once you get it.
I agree with this. A clean RS is nearly impossible to find. Most of them have been tracked.

The RS that you're looking at has a roll bar but no engine mods? I guess I would have thought that the roll bar would have gone in after engine mods so I'm wondering if it had engine mods and it has been put back to stock.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but option 2 is my vote also lol.
You have the opportunity to own the 2 rarest evos brought to America. That my friend, is reason enough!

You have the choice of a Genesis or an Evo and you have to ask?

Of the two the Evo is the obvious choice, however I already own a Evo. So i was asking people's opinions on getting rid of the Genesis to buy a second Evo. So in the end I would own two Evo IX's

I looked into it a little further, like I mentoned it has a drop in filter but I found out it also has a Turbo XS cat-back. everything else under the hood is stock.

I had the same thought as you. Everytime i drive the SE im afraid of something happening to it, scratch, stolen, broken into. It would be a shame turning it into a track car. I've thought about selling my SE and getting an XIII for thr track and another car for DD.

Exactly man, I agree with you 100%. It really sucks cause I don't wanna start gutting and abusing a low mileage, clean Evo.

Option 2 by far. It would be a damn shame to gut and tamper with an SE...especially a TB one which is my favorite color.
