I have a feeling that this is going to end up being a train wreck for this kid...

No matter.

Very simple-

go to here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=373669 or if there is a November thread by the time you look, go to that one.

print the first post

Tell the dealer you will buy from them if they match this price. If they push back, tell them you'll buy at this price + $500 (which is what DAS would charge you to ship the car)

If they say no, WALK and call southcoast, pick you color, ask for the the most recent build date they have in stock. Call DAS (prepared to be frustrated, but your car will eventually come)

Enjoy your new Evo.

Do not mod your vehicle for at least the first few months after break in, as if your Evo has problems and you've added as much as an air freshener, you will be SOL.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?

Good luck and be safe with new car. I'm excited for you. Just listen to the other guys in here, and when you get it, please don't rice it, but most importantly, don't drive like an idiot. Stock Evo X's are not fast. You'll realize this after driving it for a few days. So don't act like you're the coolest sh|t on the road.

I almost started a rant. Post pics when you get it!

a lot of ppl say the evo is slow but, u gotta think about what they drove b4, do they race often, etc, i have a civic that ive modded for years, even put a b18c in it, and i thought i would never swap a motor, but these other guys race cars with 300=hp, so im not suprised if ppl think the evo x stock isnt fast, of course not for a 291hp car, to me im sure i think its too fast, i gotta crawl b4 i walk, but from a civic to an evo, im running out crib

The only people who think Evo X's are slow are Evo IX owners.
