I believe the RS also has a titanium-magnesium turbine as compared to the normal IX's. Your turbo will spool up even sooner--that's sweet. Also cause I have an IX. Check VIN numbers too for any outstanding warranty claims.

 

06 RS

 

Still, better engine, better turbo, aluminum pieces are hard/and costly to replace

 

Newer is better 06.

 

Lots of band-wagoners here.

 

If you get an VIII, at least get an 05. Otherwise just get a IX

 

I would definitely pickup the 9 for many of the reasons including miles that everyone has said before me.

 

Blessed Evo VII. Hate me, flame me. You'll only make me more powerful. Tee hee.

 

Yeah if I was buying another Evo I would jump on that RS like its going out of style.

 

03 has hid and doesnt have acd which gave my boy hell when pump went .power windows is a + when hollaring at the ladies you dont want ebrake handle on ribs.also going around making sure all doors are locked is a pita too.road noise is an issue to look at.

 

i personally would get the 03 cause of the hid pwr windows, but the rs is more rare than a regular evo 9 but it is up to u

 

ww FTW

 

that 06 is a damn good deal man. no way i could sya no to that. good miles, and ww is alsways a nice color to have. plus the engine is better...and thats coming from me who has a 04 evo 8 tb.....

 

your giving up more luxury's on the 06 RS then you think. If you dont mind a loud harsh ride then go for it. I say wait and find a GSR IX. If your questioning between an 03 and 06 you have a lot more research to do.

 

06 for sure! Thats a great price for an RS. I wouldn't expect them to have it around very long.
