I'll just be keeping my VIII... maybe waiting for a X... maybe not.
You can't be afraid of change, though. It is an EVOLUTION after all. Each and every successor is supposed to be better than the last.

I have to agree with Turbo-Ron, the IX is better stock. Then again, you want to modify, so maybe you want to mod now and not later. If that's the case, then get the VIII.
MIVEC sucks, only has valve timing and no electronic lift control like VTEC or vvti. I'de rather have GDI. VIII + cam gears and a tune will get you better HP/TQ, MPG.

To me it seems yes, they havent done anything but improve, if you want to mod tomorrow maybe u should stick with an EVO VIII, but if your not racing and you have time, it seems the EVO IX would be the smarter choice?
What do you guys think?

I'm optimistic about the 9.
Again - I asked Shiv about the MIVEC and he said he doesn't forsee a tuning problem.
