I have a 04 evo 8 with 2k miles sitting in the garage never driven in rain, wont trade it with anything, and hopefully getting a 2010 x soon as a daily driver, and no i wont trade it for a brand new x.

 

that is awesome. I hope i would have a patience not driving any car, like that.
That car will be some good money later

 

Noize makes baby Jesus cry.

 

i would only buy a evox if i could afford it and keep my evo 8!!!

 

I can't believe this thread is still going, this thread is the definition of beating a dead horse for tooooooo long .

On the topic of saying things a few years ago about future technology...

There was no way in hell I was going to go to the SST. I was completely against the idea. Stupidest thing ever. I used every excuse in the book (arguing with the ralliart guys mainly). Not putting the 5 speed in the ralliart?!?! RETARDED! GIVE ME MANUAL OR GIVE ME DEATH.

Now I own an MR and I love the SST dearly. I honestly would love a IX with the SST in it. There is a reason Lamborghini, ferrari, etc are only doing dual clutch transmissions now (no manuals to be had in new cars). I never put it in auto electronic shifting any more, I always have it in sport mode / manual. It's tuned to hold 25 psi through all the gears without letting off of the gas (tune goes up to 28psi otherwise). Shifts so amazingly quick. I laugh at how ignorant I was.

 

def beating a dead horse. but i have an 04 evo 8 and the ONLY way i would get a X is if i could keep my 8 as well. no way i would trade "up" for that

 

I had a fairly modded 8, my X is better in just about every possible way. Your loss .

 

At the rate of which the X's are depreciating, you won't have to wait long

 

IMO they all kick ***, and u can't go wrong any which way u go! but it would def be interesting to see some comparisons....drag, and on a track ect....

 

I sold my 8 MR last year, regret it, especially the person I sold it to. Later I bought an X MR for the DD and the finance. After my regrets, bought a mild bolt-on evo 8 GSR. Can't complain, same car payment that was for my old MR for 2 evos-best of both worlds.

 

Freaken A man idk what to get a evo x or a evo 9. i mean i want a car i can drive to work and a car i can drive on the track. but like after test driving both cars i want both of them.

 

I couldnt decide either so I bought both

 

Me too. 08 X MR & 06 IX MR SE.

 

I want both but need to pay off my 8 first. The other thing about a X is the turbo behind the motor. I never liked working on a srt 4, I imagine it's probably the same.

 

The only hard part about the turbo being behind the engine is changing the O2 housing and the turbo. How often do you plan on doing that?
