I want to build a drag racing / D/D. what year and model EVO should start with. I have a 2010 Evo x WW but i dont want to break her, i need something just to play with.

 

EVO 8 = alot of people have great times, but no MIVEC

EVO 9 = MIVEC almost cost as much as a evo X

EVO X = MIVEC int and exh but they seem to have alot of issues still to work out. plus the cost

 

Get an VIII. MIVEC really isn't all that. Once you change the cams, MIVEC really shouldn't matter too much. Cheap, fun, and still fast.

 

Personally a 9 would be what I would get, followed by an 8 followed by the X.

I watch a local in a 9 RS hit 10.8's on the stock turbo...so yea.

 

Evo 8. The 8's Front-End looks nicer than the 9's Front. Plus less expensive.

 

Nice, i dont have that much too spend.. how about the 5 or the 6 speed i heard the 6's are weeker and can you change the 6 ot a 5 with a shep or buschwacker, yeah i may have spelled that wrong

 

i do agree but i need the performance end more then the looks

 

I honestly like the look of the front of the IX better, but to each their own

 

i thought you were saying to get all three sorry

 

considering you don't have much money to work with and are strictly looking for performance, I'd say find a cheap 8 and have more money left over for performance. Just find a base 8 with a 5 speed and nothing special.

 

i have good fin nothing to brag about..... but if money is not an issue?

 

The 5 speeds are better for drag by far. The evo 8 4th gear is ideal as well.

 

8 would be the cheapest route I would think

 

I just looked in the last Dsport and buschur made an 8 got 10 flat so i think that is the best route
