I do not owned an Evolution but Im planning on either lease or buy a new one.. 40K(quite expensive), I'm not sure yet but I'm interested, I would like to know more about the engine, transmission and suspension before buying one, also would like to know what is better in performance and longevitity and future price on parts once they wear-out 5spd manual (GSR) or the 6 speed (MT). Also how well is the engine built and where is it from.. lots of questions i know... Thanks a lot guys.
