If Evo X didn't exist
Thanks.
Ive been through more cars then I can count but those listed I had the most fun with. And yes the Evo X is a fun car... in a couple more months I am hoping it is even more fun, whenever the rest of my parts come in.
Kind of off topic but anyone know someone that can make an extension/jumper harness for the Evo X??? If anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated!
For the people saying GTR, have you guys driven one extensively?
I actually have one now after years in an STI and will be looking to sell it soon and potentially get in an Evo X. Don't get me wrong, it's the best car I've ever driven. But it is overkill 99.9% of the time and I feel like I don't ever get to use it how it was intended. Gunning it through second and you're already at speed and have to let off. Whereas, in my STI, I could have a lot more fun before jail time speeds.
I look at it as I'm paying twice the price for arguably twice the performance, but I can only use 5% of that increased performance at any time. It sure does get a lot more attention though...just from the wrong gender.

Owned one already, have you? I've owned and/or driven the last two generations of Evo and Charger, the difference in refinement and quality between the Evo and Charger is night and day. Charger hands down the more refined, quality machine. The Evo is every bit as reliable, but rattles like a can of bolts practically off the lot, and has plastic everywhere but the seats. The Charger has stitched leather everywhere and the 2006 I owned didn't show a squeak or rattle in 68k miles I owned it.
As for sound, if you think V8's sound cheap, well that's all subjective, but imo the exhaust note of a Hemi is far more pleasing than the angry vacuum cleaner noise my Evo(s) have emitted.
Love the Evo's for handling, looks, and ease of modding, but exhaust notes and build quality I do not.

Sorry but I just think all the SRT cars are ugly. I'm sure they are fast and reasonably comfortable but I just hate the throwback look. Nothing personal but there are very few domestic cars I like, no wonder all the American car companies are failing or already failed. The only thing good made domestically is large trucks or SUV's

And yes, I wish my Evo sounded like a stock SRT8...
There is nothing refined about the Charger. Comparing a Charger to an Evolution, in terms of refinement, is like comparing the IQ of a kid with downs to a Pop-Tart.
