Evo X vs. Evo VIII and IX
Do you think all younger people think exactly the way you do, in every single way?
Or are you willing to entertain the possibility that your way of life, your line of thinking, is perhaps not toeing the line with the way every other person of your generation thinks?
How old are you, anyways? I'm 23, I have an X, I have a broken VIII, I have an STI, and I have a WRX; I don't really "prefer" one over the other, but I'm simply curious as to how you can flatly state that. How about all of the guys driving Camaros, or Mustangs; what are they? REALLY odd, since they're going for displacement instead of turbocharging? How do they fit into the neat little world you've designed?

you may need to think about owning a different kind of car
Honestly I have been giving the x's a second look. I own a ix with full boltons big cams, catless exhaust, ported exhaust mani, injectors, etc. etc. Lately I am getting annoyed with the small boxy noisy jerky evo. Don't get me wrong I got this car for the driving experience but its sometimes obnoxious to dd. I would have to drive the x to get a better feel but I definately couldn't spend the money on the x to get it were I would like it to be s for now I am stuck. Honestly the ix's I think are more of a car to mod heavily than a x.
The thing about any car, when you mod them (especially to the 500+ level), you're going to get some rattles / noises. Can't fault your IX for that, it is after all a race car. Same with the X, you mod it, it's going to creak on you. They have almost 800whp X's now, I wouldn't say the IX is more heavy mod friendly... I mean there are some 1100whp VIIIs out there, but man, those aren't evos any more

X has def grown on me over the past couple years. Def feels solid to drive and would need mods to fit my tastes. A little pigish in stock form
But I honestly would never give up my VIII for it
Hell I wouldn't even if it was an even swap

I do admit, my new job has a stop-and-go sort of route to work, the DD is no fun at all anymore. I might as well be driving my 89 Camry with 330k and a slipping clutch again.
