Back in an Evo :) Apex Silver Evo 8

Just over a year ago I sold my yellow Evo 7 and bought an S2000. After a year of fun sports car motoring I finally gave in and bought a car with more room. The S2000 was awesome but it was just too tiny. I looked around for a fun 4 door car and finally it boiled down to either a blue 03 Sti or a silver 03 Evo ... the evo won

How do you like the Evo 8 coming from the Evo 7? Can you see the upgrades and differances in the car? Is your evo 8 stock?

Yeah the 8 feels more refined than the 7. The 6 speed is very nice

They were both stock + catback when i got them. Stock for stock the 8 accelerates better because of the closer ratio lower gears in the 6 speed. Both handled awesome but the SAYC in the 8 makes the car feel more planted in long sweeping corners.

^^^SAYC, What is that? Not available in the U.S. models until the EVO10 came out.

Nice choice of cars you've had. Really like the S2K. Your new 8 looks really clean
