my situation with going into the military is if I go used. I will have the money to pay it off. And if I do need to replace the motor or tranny.. Down time means absolutly nothing. I do plan on modding. I actually wanna say I plan on building. Only thing thats bothering me is the price of a used 9 that I've been seeing. plus how god damn heavily modded they already are. I dont mind a tbe and a tune. I can always get a new exhaust and a new tune.. I dont mind different piping. I'd do that to. But I dont wanna buy someones 400awhp car.. Whats the point?? Then all I'm doing is replacing parts when they break. Even a car doin 350awhp bothers me.. I mean I guess i can always replace parts and sell them. but it kinda gets to me to go that route..

Then buy one and pull the whole motor and replace it with a built head and 2.3 shortblock. problem solved then you can put whatever turbo you want on it etc.... whats the problem you said you dont mind downtime. not to many things out for the evox for way of new longblock etc...

Thats actually not a bad idea.. What I wanna do if god wants to end up loving me. Find and VIII or IX for a reasonable price and do that. Maybe get a pos incase I do need somethin to drive.. Or a bike like I want.. I dunno why I didnt think of that idea of saying hell with it and building the motor and sell w.e crap comes on it.. And use that to fund the build..

(I know I'm newb talking) But thats why I'm posting this up. To get ideas so I can make a better purchasing decision. So thanks guys..

Answer to your question is, most probably!

Not too many females drive an EVO and don't know how to drive a standard. Most women who have EVO's aren't your typical women either...I love speed and I drove a Roadrunner for most of my youth.
I learned on a standard at age 14, and have driven standards almost all of my life (that's 30+ years). Not too many men or women drive a standard better than I can. I chose an EVO MR this time as I'm getting older and most of my driving now is around the city...but I still love speed and my paddle shifters...best of both worlds!
