good luck to you sir!!
I hear South Coast Mitsu is popular. I got mine at Anaheim
But only went there because my girlfriend at the time knew the owner.

What should you be looking at depends on what you want, new or used? GSR or GSR? Yes I meant to say it twice.

Used then just use common sense. You can get an idea of how much a person cares for their car by the condition it's in.

They are pretty reliable cars. I have a 2012 with 40k on it and it hasn't been to the shop for repairs yet. I started moddling it within the first few months. Most of the 2 years I had basic bolts ons running 335hp. Few weeks ago converted to E85 and am at 397. Still runs like a charm.

Just take care of her. I change oil every 3k and do the trans and diffs every 15k.

Nice choice. I think South Coast gets used ones as well.

Sometimes I wish I got a 2003 RR. I could have got one already modified decently and at half the monthly payment which would give me more modding money. But I love my X as well. Can't see myself ever selling it which is unusual for me. I usually get bored of cars in a couple of years. Don't think I ever kept a car long enough to pay it off.
The Evo is a different story. Still just as excited to wake up in the morning and drive it as I was the day I got it.

I just cant decide on for sure which to go with, I know the 9 is a faster car, i love the looks of the 8 and 9s cuz they look more aerodynamic to me and they are a tad bit smaller and look like lowkey but are fast as ****. The X just is like a bold statement they stand out alot, which is not a bad thing by anymeans and they are almost as fast, plus the aftermarket is probably huge for X.
I dont know what to do haha. Either way it will be a 5spd.

If you want to go fast stick with the ct9a body style. 4g63 is the only way imho

Well I do like both cars. As far as go fast that depends on what kind of fast, straight line or turns. I believe the X has been shown stock for stock to be faster on the track. But in reality, both can be made faster with upgrades so you can't go wrong either way. Drive them both and choose what YOU like. After that you can make both as fast as your budget can handle.
