Not yet.

I have an offer for the whole car. I'm just waiting to see if they come thru or not.

I should know in a week or 2. If I don't sell the whole car I will most likely rebuild into a drag car and part out anything I don't need like interior, wheels, spoiler, carbon fiber trim .......

I did get the '13 GSR.... kinda wish I held out for an MR though for a DD.

Man they fall so flat above 5k rmp. It needs a tune bad. I miss being able to pull hard to redline.

Sorry for your loss. I actually want to keep my 2010 Evo X GSR (track) and buy a 2013 Evo X GSR for a daily. Either way, I want to own at least two Evo's in my lifetime.

Get a 08 probably cheaper then any other years and you'll have extra moneys for upgrades

The newer the better, manufacturers include dozens of tiny improvements every year that never get mentioned. Be it higher quality screws, re-engineered brackets, hoses, new materials for better durability etc.

Unless you see major upgrades mentioned go with the newest that you can afford and that is in best condition.

Bad drivers,ugh.
Sorry for your loss.
If you are looking for an MR, I know a dealership that has one with touring package & nav with only 8k on it.

save 9k off the sticker, it has it all.

If nto you can grab a gsr for like 35k, idk i loved the mr.

Might have things that need to be addressed like, relays, timing chain, transfercase, diff pins...not to mention it would be previously owned, so need to find one that wasn't abused.

The extra spent might be worth the difference of just getting great financing on a new one

12's and 13's are seeing even better OE dyno numbers from what I've been catching. Not that any 08-13 isn't as capable, it's just little tweaks that initially show more promise.

However, for 2011, if your statement was saying they are the best to tune, I would disagree.

As of right now, my tuner had to hassle a little bit, and we were unable to get the TephraMods to work, which was a big bummer to me since that's what I was looking forward to.

They're the best to tune, as in get the most power. The 2012s are having issues with making power (possibly cams, TBD by GSC). 2013s don't have enough info.

Tephra has a beta for the 2011s and 2012s that is currently being tested. Should be out soon.
