Nice man, looks like thats n EVO IX MR SE thou.. so you still got the special edition package

Nice STi also!

Plan on modding either of the cars?

My future garage consists of, R34 GTR Skyline, NSX, EVO 9 Drag car, Evo 9 daily driver, STi, and of course.. bugatti

P.S. Take the STi out of the garage and keep the evo inside... let the sti fade rather than evo

(NVM U ALREADY DID THAT LOL) ALSO: What do you do for work man? Sounds like my type of job lol.

The bike makes like 90 lbs of torque at 4000rpm. So anywhere you get on it, it roars and pulls the front wheel up. I've never ridden a bike that rewards skill and highsides the stupid like this bike will. Pull the pin on a GSXR1000 before 8 grand and its no huge mistake. Do it on the Ducati and it will pitch you off if your getting on it early on a corner exit.

Suspension and handling on the bike are definitely better then anything I have ridden. It also has the best brakes Ive had the pleasure of riding. As I have had like 12 bikes before this one, I can do a decent job of predicting what this bike will do. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it to noobs. Noobs will get hurt on this bike.

Just my .02

I have a black 4x4 and a 07 black Z51 Corvette...so I decided to try something different and went with the Silver MR. I figure if Im gonna have a nervous breakdown I might as well go all the way right? Anyways, just brought it home tonight.

Here she is:

I love the way the car handles. I have 30 miles on the odometer, but I can feel how firm it is compared to the STI. The STI has better F&F inside, but the IX is sick in a different "race car" kind of way.

I have a few others if any of you are just car/motorcycle people.

Here is the Extreme 4x4:

Here is my STI:

Here is the Corvette:

And Finally my Blond Italian...the Ducati 1098:

Here in one picture is why I went to college lol:

Enjoy!

PS: Car is headed to Vishnu for a performance map in the next week after breakin.

Can you loan me like one of your paychecks? im sure it would be enough for me to live on for awhile LOL. Mr. Moneybags here

You know, I must compliment you on your garage. So many people on these forums and alleged car guys in general are always swapping cars, selling a car they've had for a few months or a year. I think being a self-described car guy, you should buy cars that you can build a car collection around. Of course, this can be an expensive hobby and space can be an issue, but when you hear about lifetime car guys, they usually have a multi car garage. I am always arguing with my friends about there constant cycling through different cars to the point they never get to really know the vehicles they drive. I could go on and on with my thoughts regarding this more extensively, but I want to bolt my office. So I say my thumbs up to you and your nice car collection.

I heard that the z51 package brings it close to the performance of the z06

So all you need is a boat to go fishing in and we can be friends! I'll bring the beer (highlife) - its the champagne of beers.

This is a great garage, you definitely could have gotten more expensive cars, but you instead chose the drivers cars. Excellent, I would sell the STi and get a Mini for around town.
