I know thats how you roll. j/k

Your car is a straight up BAD mother forker!

Flat out the fastest thing I have driven not to mention an out and out bad *** properly put together Evo. I would NOT sell your car for anything. I actually considered keeping mine and duplicating your setup after I drove it but the deal was already in the works for the sale of my car.

Been meaning to talk to you actually. Shooting you a PM.

I love these things but I just cannot get over the super poor gas mileage they get. I think it's something like 15 city and 19 highway out of a 21 gallon gas tank that drinks 91 and up octane only They are crazy fast from a dig though and sound very nice at any speed.

Other.

I'd go for an Evo VI (Tommi Makinen Edition). Don't think anyone would like to release one for under 50 though.

R33 GT-R = no other car like it, waaaaay more awesome than a vette

BTW where are you located that you can buy a GT-R for 40k????

I would definitely not trade my IX for a X. That much is rock solid. As for what I WOULD trade it for.... probably not much out there I care for really. Let me put on the flame suite before I say this, I HATE VETTE'S. Sorry. I like the old school ones, but obviously wouldn't trade my Evo for one. I would however, seriously consider a trade for a Nismo Z-Mod Skyline-R34-GT-R. Then again, there's only 20 of them in existence, and they're f*** s*** expensive!! I would probably consider a trade for a clean stock R34 GT-R titled as well. With the word consider being underlined cause ultimately, I probably wouldn't trade in the end. Way to comfortable and attached to my baby


Edit: also, I don't know if i'd even really consider the RX-7 w/LS1 swap. It's an awesome project and a break through idea ... but it's blasphemy! I'd much rather have a tri-Wankel swap in that puppy any day.
