Rx-8 vs evolution

hey,this is my first thread
Im hoping soon to get an evolution 8. i now have an rx-8 with 250 bhp.i am asking many people if i should keep my rx-8 or buy an evolution.Many answers are like they are two different cars,you cant compare them.Others are like keep the rx-8 its much better looking,and much more fun to drive(rear wheel drive).to be honest i do think the rx-8 is better looking but for some reason im kind of in-love with the evolution 8 despite people telling me to keep it the rx-8
please
any suggestions
and also which model would you advise me to get

Do what you like, if you enjoy your slow RX-8 that much, keep it.

Best suggestion: drive both and see which you like more.

Regardless of all out numbers, it really comes down to which car you're going to enjoy driving on a daily basis. Which one makes you look forward to getting out on the road.

If you want a car for performance get a Evo. If you want your car for looks stay with your Rx8.

Thing is with rotary engines is they don't last long, it's a fact. So if you are planning on coming over to the dark side, do it before you have to replace the seals in the motor.

i think a lowered evo is one of the better looking cars out there (lowered) they just sit to high from the factory biu once u get coilovers it changes the whole look of the car the front spoiler to the big wing even looks better.good luck in the snow with that rx8 2

Personally I think the Evo's looks are much better than the RX-8's. I dont know why everyone says our cars are so bad looking. I Love the way Evos look.

Utimately, its your decision, other people's opinions shouldn't matter at all.

RX-8's are most definitely slow. I love that car being for track use only, but no way for daily driving with absolutely no torque whatsoever. Just drive both and you'll see...
